Marc,

Well, I will take the word of the actual writers on who, what and how they got their cut rather than hearsay from someone casually talking to a friend. The writers have clearly stated the source of their success zas TAXI and there was nothing in it for them to make that statement. They weren't paid to say it nor did they have any other reason to make it other than telling the truth.

Can songs have several factors that lead to their success? Sure. So should no one ever get credit for doing anything? What if you subtract the primary or even ONE of several primary reasons for success? Doesn't that usually mean failure?

Not sure what your bone is to pick with TAXI. The Buy Me A Rose story is an older example of thousands of success stories using TAXI. A quick visit to their site will show you lots of recent and ongoing success stories. The "Rose" story was simply their first major success on the charts which they were involved in. Around the same time they also helped get JPF band Fisher their deal with Interscope which resulted in a LOT of money in their pocket (over a million from the contract alone). They acknowledged TAXI as well in our newsletter voluntarily. Ironically, there was a major label company which lied and told a false story about their discovery and success which Fisher themselves debunked. As in that case, I simply don't trust the validity of your friends off the cuff comment over the people involed telling me and the public in no uncertain terms TAXI was invaluable to them. We have no idea what his agenda was, what context it was said in nor do we have any reason to doubt the truthfullness of the writers themselves saying in person to a large crowd and in several print interviews that TAXI was the driving factor in their success. I also have no reason to distrust TAXI who is completely honest in everything I have found or witnessed or heard about in all the years I have known them.

The only question is why you continue to attempt to trash TAXI here? Because they charge a fee? Don't you charge as much or more to people to show them around Nashville? Should we compare your success rate in creating hit songs for those folks or paid placements with TAXI? Do you offer a money back guarentee after the fact if people aren't satisfied and want their money back from you Marc? We allow you access to a lot of potential clients here, and many board users and other members have paid you for services. I don't see or allow people trashing you based on disputed hearsay only. Should we open those doors?
