Jim,

You don't like the current state of the music business. Fine. I don't have to "put my money where my mouth is" or get off my soap box" to your arrogance. I don't view it like you do and I won't be talked to like a child that doesn't know what he is talking about by you or anyone.

You talk about America. You don't know America, you are not here, and the business. I respond to your comments, not invent whatever you are inventing. You are claiming everything is crap, you are claiming that our industry sucks, the entertainment industry sucks. Fine. You have your own soapbox.

Your comments on this is that it is all controlled by a group of people and that is garbage. They all compete. Material and artist compete. You continue to tell me that "the nobodies" can't get anywhere I and I give you example after example of people that were nobodies two-five years ago and you ignore it. You ignore pretty much everything due to your biases.

But you can be ignorant and belittle all you want to. If you want to do something about it why don't you instead of everything that doesn't fit into your idea of what is good or not.

There is really no talking or dealing with you. You are like every crumudgeon I have ever met who's time has past and you want to sit around and be bitter. Well, be bitter. I've tried to reason with you but there is no reason.

And I've done it for the last time I am going to. There are people I can't get along with and I guess you are one of them.

Good luck in whatever you do.

MAB
