I think I have made a good impression on this board, gosh it's nice to be popular.

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace (John Lennon)

Looking forword to see you in one of your sold out concert or buy one of your humm... CD soon.... yeah right.

Meanwhile hang on tight to your day job if you have one even if it's not enough to cover your living expenses, or send your wives to work while you pursue that so elusive and impossible musical dream.

Got talent?

Hey Stringdancer I have a c.d. I'll sell ya for $10.00 it's the first 12 songs on my site I ws in a band called Rare Seed and we recorded it in 1996 at Sugar Hill recording studios and that year the Houston Music Council voted it the no. 1 local all original c.d for the year of 1996 we all have great careers here. I have a fantastic job at a major University and my wife works at another major University and well I am playing every weekend in a band called Cruise Control and I probably make more money playing music (my side job) no I am not going to say it. Be nice dude

Nope you are right. Personally I have no talent what so ever at all. I do have ideas about what I personally think I want to do with what I THINK I do best and that is that.

Don't have a job either so you are right again. Times are tough aren't they depending on who you are right now.

You know what though? Things change. It's not always like this and if you get lucky, you get lucky and the rest COULD be history.

I see a vast pit of sadness in your posts and that is a pity because I think you are a very clever person indeed.

You just need to SHOW it!

Imagination & fantasy is all very fine, but we also must live in the real, Stringy. Hell, even John Lennon put on his cuban heels occasionally to feel more macho. Don't for a second think he was the total humanistic pacifist that he pretended to be in some of his songs. Read his interviews. He could be a real confrontational asshole, too, but at least he had style, & the music to back him up.

Speaking of reality - are YOU a full-time musician making platinum CD's & performing at sold-out concerts? Is YOUR significant other holding things down while you chase the elusive dream of fame? Do YOU have a day job? Have you put up a sample of YOUR talent on your profile?

Yeah, it's a shame that you came off with such animousity from your 1st post, cuz you might have been more popular, but that ain't my fault, is it?

Yes, I have a day job, & I'm quite proud of the work that I do. I'm also proud of my musical accomplishments. My wife works, too. You wanna slam me for all that, bub?

Since when is being a working man something to be ashamed of? Since when are your standards the ones we should all achieve in life, when it's pretty obvious that you haven't reached them, yourself?

I'd bet that I've forgotten more songs that I've written than you have even started to write, so don't come in here acting like you're somebody when you don't even have the balls to put up a single song on your profile, Mr Perfect. You haven't said or done a single thing to make you seem at all worthy of our attention. In fact, you seem a little scared to put up music, cuz we might not find it very musical. You can continue to sling your ineffective little arrows at us all you want, but in the end, WE have produced stuff, & you have nothing at all to show for your supposed work in music, & your political stance is laughable if you cannot answer those questions asked of you to back up your tripe.

Yes, it would be all nicey-nice to live in a perfect world with no borders where everyone got along & there was no crime & all of that fluffy stuff you found in a song, but it doesn't cut it in the real, & being whiney about your lack of popularity, or being a jerk to the ppl in the forum doesn't bring any of us any closer to that perfection.

You'll hafta be a LOT nicer to ppl if you want to help the world reach that point in its evolution. So far, you haven't helped a bit.

You be the first experiment by removing the doors and windows from your house.

The reason why I’m here is the same reason why over 600.000.00 died in the civil war

Sessation from the Union?

...the same reason that made people across the nation in the 60s march for civil rights, there is no permanent cure for racism the only way to deal with it is to be constantly vigilant and militant,

Wow.I would argue there is no cure at all for racism. Racism is a moral issue, stemming from personal beliefs. So I read your "vigilant and militant" to mean killing off people you disagree with. This is the pot calling the kettle black.

new generations do not come prejudice free, kids growing up with the likes of Paleopete, J Haley, Sansuheil, Philbymon and other will be contaminated by their racism. It’s not about winning or losing man, it’s about working for a future with the list amount of prejudice.

"Militantly"
nice.

For centuries we the wasps have been dictating who should be the better human being and who should be discriminate or even enslaved, well demographic can and will change the day that the wasps will be in the minority we we’ll be reaping what was sowed by our forbearers.

And now we have you, only this time the tables are turned. You scare me.

Yo Chris, careful there bud, mind your spelling or the spell gestapo alias Pityfulpete will jump on you.

The correct spelling is "Cessation"
BTW didn't mean to scare but it would be a good idea for you to start taking Spanish lessons just in case.

Wow sounds like you have it all together man, now if you only could work on getting rid off that pesky paranonia about aliens the 21s century will welcome you unless you think that some mariachi band is going to take your gigs away, you know those caballeros can be quite a competion.

Nope you are right. Personally I have no talent what so ever at all. I do have ideas about what I personally think I want to do with what I THINK I do best and that is that.

Well Chippy since you have decided to enter the fray let me ask a question, do you blame the aliens for your current predicament?

Philby man can you be more concise with your posts? Your verbosity tents to be a bit monotonous, I like to read but one can only read so much before zzzzz. I understand you have a lot to say but you have to give some time to the rest of the posters, I like to mix it up you know? I like pizza buy I would not want to eat it every day.

I read the whole post though, same old same old rational to justify your paranoid point of view on aliens, think back when your ancestors came to this country how would they have felt if they had encountered the bandmix gang reception committee?

The 21s century awaits you.

Straight from Wikipedia:
"Mexico had a gross domestic product (in terms of PPP) of more than US$1.3 trillion in 2007, and more billionaires than Switzerland (including Carlos Slim whom Time Magazine, ABC News, and CNN Money claim is the world's richest man and who owns 8% of the country's GDP). Yet according to the World Bank 17.6% of Mexico's population lives in "extreme" poverty, while 30.1% live in "moderated" poverty, for a
total of 47.7%. In addition, the average annual income for a worker in Mexico is around USD$2,000. However, the poorest 40% of the population receive only about USD$550 annually and often fail to be able to afford adequate necessities. The large disparity between the upper income class and the lower income class is a key factor in the overall majority of workers in Mexico being poor and resorting to illegal acts to improve living situations."



So it's not just the rich bastards here, but the ones in Mexico that are responsible for all the illegals coming here. Add to that (also from Wikipedia) "As of 2007 there was a backlog of 1.1 million green card applications, and typical waiting time was three years." and it's no wonder that there are so many that don't go through the legal process. I'm not condoning their coming in illegally, but I can certainly see why. It's a matter of life and death for them and their families back home.

Wow ratsass do I detect a slight change of opinion for these unfortunate souls? Your attempt to emphasize with them tickles my heart and got me all moist.

Kudos for the research, knowledge is power, knowledge opens minds, knowledge is a requirement for democracy, and knowledge is the enemy of dictators.

While you are in the empathizing mode I’m going to attempt to point out something to you and feel free to pass it along to the rest of paranoid Bandmix gang.

The bigots can enact all the laws they want to stem the influx of immigration, they can threat and scare immigrants at will, but human nature is such that when one is hungry that individual is going to fear hunger more than any law.

Keep up the good work there’s hope for you yet.

Yo Chris, careful there bud, mind your spelling or the spell gestapo alias Pityfulpete will jump on you.

The correct spelling is "Cessation"
BTW didn't mean to scare but it would be a good idea for you to start taking Spanish lessons just in case.

Looks like the gestapo just got to me. Your point?

Hey baboso not paranoia reality. and I love Mariachi's especially Mariachi Loco cabron.

Guess I need to make a quick correction before someone believes this illiterate dimwit.

Yo Chris, careful there bud, mind your spelling or the spell gestapo alias Pityfulpete will jump on you.

The correct spelling is "Cessation"

Cessation is a totally different word, referring to the act of stopping an action. Something this dummy should really think about...

The proper spelling is secession. It can be easily researched on Wiki, another good idea that obviously never occurred to him. It's derived from the root word secede:

the act of withdrawing from an organization, union, or especially a political entity. It is not to be confused with succession, the act of following in order or sequence. (copied from Wiki)

I think you guys already know I usually don't worry too much about the spelling and grammar, many people on here can't spell for crap and I normally don't worry about it, but in cases like this it serves as an excellent example of a complete illiterate trying to point out how wrong we all are by proving how stupid he is. In such an instance I'll be happy to use his own posts to prove that stupidity. I see at least a half dozen others, those I won't bother with, but this one I had to correct, don't want someone to look like a dummy talking to friends and using their new word that just happens to be totally incorrect.

Then the thing to do is to help them oust their corrupt gov't, like we did for the Iraqis, cuz this is a much more evident threat than ol' Saddam ever was. Yep, move on in & give 'em good ol' DEMOCRACY. That oughta solve it all.

Let's liberate them, folks, just to keep them out.

Sounds good in theory, Philby. Trouble is we can't even get our own corrupt government out of the pockets of the rich, so how can we help them? Their government actually has tougher immigrant laws than we do. They enforce work permit laws on Americans and others who want to move down there and work (for whatever reason someone would want to do that().
