Tink, please point to an example of my "self-absortion". knew you couldn't. my post had nothing to do with telling people not to educate themselves. my post was ALL about educating yourself...just with a more inexpensive, and IMHO, more effective method. as far as personality is concerned, read your own post...you come off as a ranter who has trouble expressing herself, not a good trait in a writer.

Bobbie, as for the college gal who was told she had what it took to make it in music and was able to make up her mind, great. however, to me this reveals a wishy-washy heart. after all, what if she'd been told she DIDN'T have what it took, would she have packed it in? not if she had the fire of an artist. it's my contention if she had that fire in the first place, she wouldn't need to be there, or need to pay others(however well meaning) for validation.

as far as Anthony's post, I appreciate the compliment, but I can't be seen as unbiased. nevertheless, I'd say this about several of Corey's songs, too. commercial success is not a foolproof gauge of talent. I'll go out on a limb and say there's lots more to be learned from Bob's songs than MC Hammer's. I think what Anthony meant is, that if you took a blind taste test...you didn't know who wrote what and how much it sold, some of my stuff might be worth a 2nd look. I pay no attention whatsoever to sales and marquee names when I look at lyrics or music. of the songs Bobbie quoted above, Walkaway Joe was pretty friggin' good. Long As I Live was extremely simplistic and corny. the others i couldn't find. why anyone would be angry at someone who initiates a discussion like this on a MUSIC board, I have my theories but i'll keep them to myself. may the quality of everyone's work support their opinions. so it goes...
