it's all good buddy. whenever some of us get involved in these little back and forth situations, yes shit gets talked, but usually not in any way that crosses lines or causes anyone actual harm. most of us go back years in one way or another with eachother and have played dozens of shows together, recorded together, and seen eachothers band more times than we even care to. i feel that all of us, whether we admit it or not, have a certain respect for what we all do one way or another. i for one never take offense to any of it and actually appreciate it when someone is willing to speak their mind and present their case in an intelligent way. plus i like toole's rendition of how things around here go down. keep on doing what you do everyone.
Mick, it is good to know that I am not the only one who has read "How to lose friends and alienate people" (just kidding). I like reading your blog ( it is almost as much fun as the "Pulse Line" in the Westfield Evening News. Keep speaking your mind, no matter what anyone says. Howard Stern makes a very good living doing it and he does not let the ney sayers bother him
Bongo- Thanks for the encouraging words. I wish I knew who you actually were.
Nevertheless, I did not write this blog post because I had been bothered by the opposition. I wrote it because I genuinely feel like some of the banter in my last few blog posts went a little too far.

But rest assured, I'm not going anywhere.
Bongo is actually someone you know... Hint... I keep deleting your number from my phone and I never know it's you when you call
ReplyDeleteMick,
ReplyDeleteFrom where I'm standing, I appreciate you as a musician, writer and opinionated son-of-a...
Wish there were more people around who would say what they really mean rather than glad hand everybody. I still "hate" you man :)
