How would people feel if I made threads with titles such as "REPUBLICANS are traitors who deserve to die.

Im a right wing, but i dont like republicains thats for sure. Neocons included (McCain, Palin, George Dubua Bush etc.)

Im sad to see someone go, I have respect for people no matter what their view is. There are four sides to this 2 sided system. The left,right Populist and libratarian. I myself and a freedom fighter, and i fought for peoples rights to say and believe whatever they want, no matter how much i disagree with it. Hope you'll come back someday.

No , kramer , you are not a liberal, you are the person that resorts to name calling if you don't get your way. Why don't you go join CPAC they did the same type of name calling that you do. I didn't appreciate that either, it only diminished some valid questions they were trying to raise. They resorted to the same tactics you do and it made CPAC look bad.

Aught to try being a Christian rocker for six months.

Shyt, being a liberal would be easy.


Take care of yourself Keith.

We may not agree politically but I still count you a friend, for my part anyways.

Why Sans ? you guys are playing with conviction and doing a great job. It is so hard to keep a band together and you guys have done that and not only overcome adversity but have become so much better in the proccess. You guys ROCK.

kramer I don't think you and I've ever had a fight... at least not a really good one where we call each other names and stuff... despite that I'm sad to hear you leaving!

foa let me just say "another internet thread spiraling into two folks who think they are right arguing at length... nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!".

the internet can be a brutal place... you have to have a pretty thick skin to survive intact. I'm sorry you are finding it too brutal today.

tomorrow is another day... and remember no one ever fights with themselves... two people have to both be fighting in order for it to be a fight...

but the most important fact is: no one fights with someone who's opinion they don't care to change.

If the person you argue with wasn't 'worth it'... you'd just call him/her a moron and move on. The fact that you fight at length means you both care on some level or another... so don't take too personally.

Kramer,

I'm sorry you feel driven away, but people argue on here about all kinds of sh*t, and get quite personal about it... even woodworking for God's sake. People trash each other for their musicianship here too, for that matter. I think you probably have alot on your plate at home, and you are letting stuff affect you personally. I was there, a few months back, and took a long break. But there are good people here, and I missed most everyone here before long. Even Phil!

Take a break, but check back in from time to time.

I am very interested in hearing the stuff you have been writing solo.

I have been VERY busy myself, and haven't even had a reasonable amount of time to listen to San's studio stuff yet.

I'm also pumped to hear Haleamano's new studio work.

I have had a few projects that I am getting paid for, and a few others that will open some doors for me hopefully. So, I haven't even had time to finish the song I am doing with Ryan yet, when I was certain I could send it to him weeks ago.

But a few other opportunities became more urgent...

I am collaborating on writing an R&B song for a guy who has connectections at Atlantic Records, and they are waiting on a demo from him. Just finished that one.

I am also waiting on tracks from an artist who works with Plies and Young Jeezy... two HUGE names in rap. This guy writes for them, but has fallen behind on writing for his own debut album as a result of writing for those guys, and touring himself. I am going to be writing a song to the tracks he sends, and if all goes well, it will be on his debut album. He's very connected, so I hope this works out and gets my writing on an album, of an up and coming artist.

I am also finishing re-doing my song "September", because I was supposed to send it to a producer for Tim McGraw, but I didn't want to send either of my old band's recordings of it, so I had to re-record it.

And then, I just got a call a few days ago, that someone knows the wife of a high up exec at Columbia Records, and they are going to set up a lunch, so she can meet me, and take a demo of my songs with her.

So, I haven't been posting much lately, and won't have alot of time for that, for a while.

You picked a SUCKY time to bow out here bro, cause I won't even be able to start, any of threads you hate anyway!

Wishing you the best... particularly at home, but in your career as well.

Why Sans ? you guys are playing with conviction and doing a great job. It is so hard to keep a band together and you guys have done that and not only overcome adversity but have become so much better in the proccess. You guys ROCK.

Thanks Glen.
Were at times between a rock and a hard place if you'll excuse the pun.
Were too heavy and in your face of a lot of "good" Christians. They never get past us playing "devil music" to hear our lyrics.
Then there are those folks from 8 to 80 that really like our flair.

That's what makes it all worth the effort.

Hey AirViking!

Good to see you posting again!

HEY CRAIG,,, put the joint out,I guess you cant read,
I love that picture!

HEY CRAIG,,, put the joint out,I guess you cant read

LOL

I've been so stressed out... I could probably use one of those about now!

I love that picture!

LMAO

I know brother. That's why I left it up, even though Paul hates it!

Of course, all of this is moot, if Kramer has left the building...

Yo, Craig! Good to see you're busy, musically, man. Hope it works out for ya.

I had to cancel practice this week cuzza babysitter problems, & car breakdowns, & I'm about as frustrated a musician as you've ever seen! I can't even PRACTICE with this lil guy around, until he's asleep, but that's the only time I have to get any regular chores done. I'm going MAD, I tell ya!

Looks like it'll be another week of this until things start to settle down...

Must be a hell of a lot of busted glass out here, cuz I can't even get to TALK to anyone about replacing Ian's busted windshield...his other car bit the dust...They haven't answered thier phones in 2 days...there's only 2 places out here that do that in your driveway.

My fingers are itchy!

I did manage to drop 4 lbs over the last week. At least I've accomplished something, right?

Haven't heard back from the good Dr about my estimate. Want that job!

Oh man that is sad, Kramer left the building.
So did those guys from england.
So did those guys from canada.
I am not going to apologise because I am not a socialist.Period.

oh yes never leave your keyboard. the socialists will win!

Yo, Craig! Good to see you're busy, musically, man. Hope it works out for ya.

Thanks brother!

I'm copyrighting the song in my name and another dude's... the guy who asked me to help complete it. I ended up writing the whole thing actually, but tried to use some of his lyrics, so he actually had a hand in helping write it. I'm splitting the copyright half and half though.

When it's officially registered, tonight or tomorrow, I'll post it up here, and see if you guys like it.

Thanks again.

I really hope something comes of the couple of opportunities that have kind of fallen in my lap recently.

Kramerguy, feel free to message me privately here on Bandmix or on Myspace as always. Although we may not agree on every political issue I certainly can commiserate with you as we both have somewhat similar issues to deal with our children (mine is a 23 year old grown child). Also feel free to private message me with ANY of your concerns including politics...
