I'll have to agree with Andrew on this one...
Going to the extent that Ken did, posting childish and insulting public
messages, just because Aaron said he didn't love the new BDP album to
pieces, is lame. So is saying 'see ya' to try to make us feel like
jerks. Well it's not going to work.
Everyone has their own opinion...I appreciate the fact that Aaron and
others post theirs...that's what a list like this one is all
about...relaying information. To slag someone for liking/not liking
something is silly. Especially by the artist.
Sure, Ken put lot's of effort into his music and I'm sure he'd much
rather hear it praised, but there's always going to be someone out there
who's taste it just doesn't suit.
The thing I like about this list is that it's a very 'intelligent'
list. By that, I mean people on this list usually only say something
when they have something intelligent to say. I've come to identify with
other list members with very similar tastes as my own. I often use
their comments as a starting point when looking for music, both new and
old.
If everyone is afraid to say they dislike 'x,y,or z' what's the point of
this list anyway?
A bit of irony: Andrew said '...I never saw him give anything to this
list...'
I know that there were people who posted messages saying 'yeah, I love
it...' Did anyone ever receive any feedback from the above artist? I
doubt, judging from the attitude displayed in his three previous posts.
I've always been surprised how many artist have e-mailed me back saying
they were glad I liked their music. That's cool. Making a public
comment attacking someone is not cool. Bagging on other artist is also
not cool. Let's all try to be 'cool' like Fonzi (or is that Gonzi?!?)
'nuff said for now,
