Paperdog's a punk fag

By the way Lynard, Did Lambert ever reach out to you? I told him you were just the guy he was looking for... He got excited about it until he discovered how old you were... I reminded him that you , having no teeth , would be a great benefit for him ...

Now go f**k yourself Lynard, You spineless piece of sh*t...

BTW, You should be careful about bragging that you worked for the mob. You can get your dumb ass in a lot of trouble, and it aint the FBI I'm talking about...

Paperdog! Please, back off. If you want to talk to Lynard, Private Message him or talk to him through e-mail or make another topic somewhere else. Do NOT take over someone else's topic, the way you guys are doing. I've been through enough of that on Baton Rouge Rocks, and I do NOT need that here.

Lambert you can go f**k yourself as well.. You're in good company with Lynard here.. He likes little boys and he's openly admitted he's gay. You two should be a smash hit at the Baton rouge Follies club.

I want to talk to someone closer to my age who likes more of the music I enjoy, and who isn't quite as experienced. And also BOTH of you guys are VERY quick to anger and do NOT truly understand what I'm looking for.

Bwahhahahahahah! You know you want Lynard as bad as he wants you... Just relax and admit it... He will comfort you He's very experienced in these matters... Hell , he blew his way into a 5 bedroom house...that should tell you something... ! When he said he was muling for the mob, he left that part out where he was certain they had shoved a pound of coke up his ass before he boarded the bus... What they didn't tell him was that the pound of substance wasn't coke.. Hah hah! He got a bonus that year... (and he thought this is how musicians do it)

Can we get back to the original matter at hand? How do I search for groups on Facebook, and how are they used? And also what are some good Baton Rouge based personals sites (excluding dating sites) that I can use to find the more promising musicians I'm looking for?

Like I said in the other thread, good luck finding a person who fits all those specifications. It looks to me that you can't see the forest through the trees. So busy arguing back and forth about your reasons, that you can't see that no one has stepped up and said they are interested. That's the point. None of your arguing with people is going to change that.

To me, when someone never acknowledges when someone else may have a point, the onus is on them. Because asking for advice like you are, and always arguing against the advice? Makes you look like you are a troll, TBH. Take it easy.

I was never arguing against the advice. I just don't know how to follow through on it. If someone would just tell me how to effectively browse groups on Facebook, and talk about their experiences on other boards and stuff, I might find something. But does anyone want to do that? No.

They find some reason to acuse me of something that I am not doing, like you just did.

And again, if you really want to understand what I'm looking for, ASK about them, instead of getting all upset and being rude about everything.

One thing a lot of people don't seem to understand here is that what I'm looking for is friends who just happen to play music as a hobby but are good at it, and who enjoy a lot more of the soft rock and pop styles I enjoy. Thus I need to exclude those individuals who actually work in music, and have tons of other projects going on.

Anyway, can we get back to the advice that was offered that I need a quick how to on? How do you search for groups on Facebook and how are those used? And what are some good Baton Rouge based personals sites (excluding dating sites) that I can use to find these less active musicians in my area?

LMFAO . . . Glambert, you is a real Friend Magnet I can see

Sir, can you please answer the question and not come here to just mess with somebody? The advice is good, but I need more info about HOW, not just what and where.

And it's also nice to be able to talk to more humble individuals, rather than those who think they are big shots just because they have more experience than another person, or because they like a style of music they think is better than another style (for example, someone who thinks metal is superior to pop and soft rock).

And it's also nice to be able to talk with people about their experiences regarding the place he reccommended. And it helps if that person has similar tastes in music to mine, and is closer to the same age, and is also simply looking for a friend, and not currently interested in pursuing a career in music or starting a band.

You are an adult. Figure it out yourself and stop complaining at other board members when they don't give you step-by-step instructions on how to find friends. Is this a How-to-use-facebook forum?? No. Maybe go read that book "How to make friends and influence people." Because it seems you've watched "How to lose friends and alienate people" too many times.

Take it easy. And if you are trolling, stop.

That's the problem. I cannot figure it out. You guys need to stop complaining about me, and notice when someone legitimately DOESN'T know how to do something, and when that person points out some things that are preventing him from legitimately following through on the given advice.

Stop being rude, and stop getting so upset.

And just because something isn't laballed as a how to forum, doesn't mean someone can't give step-by-step instructions to help me more effectively reach the audience of musicians I've been trying to reach since 2007. Every place I've tried thus far, online or in person, I tend to reach musicians who are either not skilled enough, or musicians who are a little too experienced, or I reach individuals have little to no passion for pop and soft rock music as a whole.

Read the book, how to make friends and influence people. Buy books on the subject. Enroll in leadership programs. Enroll in other programs that will help you. IF you aren't getting outside and meeting people... get outside and off the web and force yourself to meet people. Look at events going on in your area. Look at the website MEETUP. They have different types of groups all around the country. There should be some in Louisiana. But you'll have to figure out the website on your own.

I know, I've written down all this and yet you will find the one thing that you disagree with and think is some sort of insult and you will try to argue that instead of doing the other things that I've listed. C'est la vie. At least I tried.

Sir, that is extremely rude. If I was on the recieving end of what I've been posting I would do the following: (not in any particular order)

1. Through my own experience, share with him some sites that he should stay away from.
2. Throw out as many good suggestions as possible: both online and in person, and discuss my experience at that place, provided of course, we share similar music tastes, and also share similar goals.
3. Try to understand the reason behind the various music and non-music related preferrences I'm looking for in these friends, by asking intellignet questions and not getting all upset and jumping to the worst case scenario.
4. Avoid listening to the people who say bad things about the person who needs help. Like people who say, "oh, your music sucks", or "you should listen to this music" or "you should get laid" or some other derpy response.
5. Listen to the person's past experiences, and other factors that are contributing to his inability to reach his desired audience.

It's not that hard to do that, and respond with a lot better wisdom. Avoid the attitude that Faulty Wiring is using. That's the same crap I had to put up with on Baton Rouge Rocks and also on Craigslist. It's annoying and making me even more frustrated.

Unlike you guys, I'm not the type of guy who likes to go out and be around huge crowds and who goes to big events and bars or clubs in his area. I'm more of the type of guy who likes to attend small clubs, and more relaxed venues, where i can spend more time getting to know individual people and maybe find a way to audition anybody who is interested, and then make decisions from there.

I've tried to find out how to find groups on Facebook, using Google, but the questions that come up for it at yahoo.answers.com are dated from 4 years ago, and it doesn't tell me how to get an extesnvie list of all groups by category or how to browse groups by city. Looking up groups by keyword is only useful if you are looking for something simple, and/or already know the name of the group.

It states that you can find groups by clicking on "Apps" and then the "Group" app, but that's not coming up for me.
