Umm, where is the attack? I see nothing in the original post that suggested Rick was a lousy musician or a bad person, it simply and succintly suggested that he didn't, according to the poster, fit a particular label. The vehemence with which this point has been rejected perhaps shows why the poster resorted to anonymity when making it. I have heard Rick Fielding but I have not heard John Gorka so I don't know if comparing them is reasonable or not, perhaps those who have heard both and are qualified to judge can enlighten the rest of us.
