Hi Bill just to clarify what Brian said about me struggling to listen for 15 seconds. I think I have been misquoted or taken out of context. There are some woefully bad songs on Ourstage god knows what the people were thinking about when they were producing them. Some are so bad you think it is a joke and a competition to find the worst song. You probably know what I am referring to. These are the songs I struggle to listen to. Most songs on Ourstage are not that bad considering. Some are pretty good and should have made the big time especially when you hear the crap in the charts.

I still maintain that there is some pretty poor judging and there are major problems with the system but hey that's life.

Bill I did not think you were the give up kind. You must know by now that this is a hard knock cut throat business and sometimes we have to write/perform songs we hate and do things we do not like to earn our corn.
