Agreed. I certainly don't have anything to gain from bickering with Glenn, regardless of who charges what for CDs & whatnot. However, as many many many people have pointed out over the years, I'm also nearly impossible to stop when it comes to arguing about shit like this.

Of course, so is he ;-)

So thanks. I'll shut up now, although I would like to point out that I'm pretty sure that I, at least, could disappear tomorrow and while I'm sure a few people (and 2 cats) would have their lives disrupted, life in general, and local music in particular, would carry on just fine. That's one of the many good things about this place -- people make bands & play music because they love it & because they can't seem to stop themselves, not because it's the popular thing to do, or because they're looking to curry favor with some group in particular, or make a million bucks. Not that I'd be much help on that front, either.

ouch?!? The only thing hurting is the state of our scene when figureheads go on the attack. I believe that a great deal of appreciation and respect are owed to both Glenn and Grady. If we lost either of them and their efforts and devotion to the Triangle, we'd be fucked. period.

On that note, there is a responsibility they both have in their positions to acknowledge their audience. We take our cues from you(don't dispute me-aren't you reading this too?). If you're both collaborating and working together and supporting each other, that energy is contagious. It represents the behavior that should and will be modeled by others. On the other hand, if you're...

Hey, I live here. I'm in a band here. I'm a fan who listens to radio, buys CD's, goes to shows, and takes advantage of the many opportunities available to me. I take for granted sometimes the services you provide. I often seek the advice and opinions of those with experience whom I respect. Please consider this and us, who listen and look to you for direction and guidance in our own, albeit smaller, provincial dealings within the scene. thanks.
Now, how can we go about supporting artists(DJ's and venue owners included)?

The thread was (and still is, subject-heading-wise) about how best to
support artists. Thanks for clarifying your position on that one.
