Hello.

Dude! Your picture rocks!! Welcome.

This forum is the most FUN I've ever had on the web. I feel like I know some of you personally. We are all musicians who have a PASSION for music. Many of us are also passionate about life. It's perfectly okay with me for passionate musicians to talk about whatever they feel passionate about. Moderating this forum would be INSANE. As far as what you feel passionate about, why don't you WRITE A SONG about what you feel passionate about. I've read numerous posts on here that easily be turned into SONG LYRICS. Sans is passionate about his religion, by golly his band PERFORMS SONGS ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT. Imagine that! Craig Maxim is an activist. Listen to some of HIS SONG LYRICS. Activism in lyrics. Imagine that! I don't think moderating or heaven forbid censoring a musicians passionate forum contributions, unless it's truly vulgar or harmful, makes any sense to me. One of the best parts of my day is sitting down and reading this forum. I'd much rather participate here than watch the news. THIS is where we find out what's on the minds of real musicians like yourself. THIS is where I feel like I've found a home on the web among my peers. I may not agree with everything, but certainly I don't take it personally. There's no place I'd rather be than right here....

Bob, your streight forward common sense responses are often enough a moderating effect. I too enjoy and look foreward to my visits here.
And my bandmates are always interested in the opinions of the "local" musicians on our evolving product.
Where else would I obtain the unmitigated truth about our work?
Family?
Friends?
Not even our audence at live shows are totally unbiased, after all they are often as caught up in the moment as the performers.
