they both fulfill jobs. they are both humans. there exists no hierarchy wherein the esteem of some highfalutin artist ought to be more valued than a plumber. if someone breaks my stereo i can sing, but take running water away, and... but i suppose i'm getting a little carried away with an admittedly weak analogy, still.... and we're both here on this list thomas, so i reckon that at least in some small way we probably enjoy music and conceive of it in a somewhat similar fashion. sorry if you think i'm an asshole, i just find it irritating that people expect musicians to behave like organ grinder's monkeys. gregory ===== //the fawn// performing live at the lab in costa mesa 09/04/02//////?/ 0123456789!@#$%^&*()_+ glitchitty-poppy-catch-all-phrase- turning-indie-tech *from the people who put the sty in style __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
