Hello upset people, I took a close look at my own mails again and really don't understand your upset reactions. All I said about Kenny Larkin was that I am pity and not happy about him playing at mayday. That's my personal opinion - point. I expressed my feelings about the situation of the techno-scene here. I didn't tell anybody what to do or not to do! Most of my criticism went against Mayday and Low Spirit, against their policiy, against their money making interests. I didn't attack Kenny with that but as I said somewhere, IMHO I think that artists perfroming there help that system and some are abused by it at the same time. This is of course a very political statement of myself and nobody, esp. not Kenny himself has to agree here. If someone don't want to read other peoples opinions, statements than just go to the next mail. I admit, that the choice of the subject-title was very bad and missleading. I didn't mean to day that Kenny is on sale or selling himself out. By putting his name in the subject-line I might have connected himself to much to my statements about Mayday. But a lot of your reactions were also based on wild interpretations! I've seen Kennys reaction and answered him personaly, tried to explain why I think like this about mayday and perfoming at mayday. If I had known his e-mail before I would have talked to him first before shouting it out to all. and now - calm down! peace, harald
