I didn't come up to you at Sidmouth because you had already started ranting at me on the Radio 2 board! You didn't seriously expect me to feel at ease about saying hello? But I was grinning at you, from ear to ear. And you grinned back too!
AND...YOU are lecturing ME! I don't much care who you know or have known in the past, present or future! I'm just saying that you have a right to your opinions over Myspace and I have a right to mine. AND...as I am in there a great deal and have come into contact with loads of wonderful people, ONLY because of Myspace...and have discovered an absolute wealth of musical treasure in there, I will continue to sing it's praises!
Everywhere I go people tell me to write how THEY want me to write, to only talk about what THEY want me talk about, to not use Smilies, to not write overlong pieces, to not talk about Myspace or Show of Hands or a thousand other artists who don't fit in with the English Traditionalists Right Accent Club, to not DARE to write about what is happening in this world around us, and then to talk about songs that are highlighting it!! All the time.."Don't! Don't! Don't!"
Well I DO and I WILL!
I too have learned a great deal Ralph. A GREAT deal about the people I choose to support, about the people I have respect for...and I have had NOTHING but kindness and civility shown to me on Myspace. It is a great place, with many, many lovely people in there.
I stand by all that I said above. And I will NOT change my mind, despite the continual heckling that goes on.
I think we should simply agree to disagree and both respect each other's opinions.
