I kinda hate to bring it up just now. I have no stock in FOX network but I see a parallel point with the poor souls who spend hours waiting to audition for the show and they have no idea how untalented and bad they really are and when someone tells them in no uncertain terms that they should never even hum in public they reject the honest criticism. So, yeah, there may be a skewed line coming from either direction but I definitely have to take the artists' side in this ongoing struggle. If the egg or the armpit is your only insturment or area of expertise, sit it out.

But who knows? Some bright January 1st in Pasadena CA we may see an all Shakey Egg Marching Band!!! Trudging through the 250 calvary unit ahead of them, no doubt.

I was going to explain "Hootenanny" but I see someone has started a new thread with that idea in mind. Great discussion so far and very enlightening to me.
