You can't make everyone happy, but you can make everyone :::miserable. I thought the intelligence here would be higher than the :::mean, but boy was I wrong! Should I spell it out? OK! ::: :::Calling your gig with another looping musician a "Loopfest" and even :::more gall enhanced, "First Loopfest EVER" now that is EGO. Hello! Is :::anyone awake? TAP TAP TAP IS THIS THING ON!? If you weren't :::borderline retarded, you'd realize that my one man loopfest was poking :::fun at The GREAT RICK WALKER (who I actually consider a friend) He's :::got quite a healthy ego, so I thought a little poke at it would be :::fine. Since he doesn't seem to be the least bit offended, and has :::actually been corresponding with me off list, I'll assume I'm right. :::If I'm wrong, I guess it doesn't matter as I'm not one of his "featured :::performers" and frankly the back-patting, self-congratulatory events :::that loopfests actually are don't really interest me much. I just find :::it weird that you'd elevate some artists to "featured" status when the :::only audience to these events are the people playing them. Why not :::just say, "good performer" and "filler" and be done with it? ::: :::OK, I'm tired of typing, and realize that unless I could somehow do a :::"Flowers for Algernon" type of enhancement on you, you're not :::understanding me anyway. I don't have a big ego Tim, I'm just not dim :::like yourself. In case you haven't notice from my charming :::personality, I'm not one to be in cliques. Frankly, I thought Terry :::was a cool guy and was twice the musician most of you are and probably :::half the ego. I was a bit sad when he was driven off because he was :::trying to promote himself, yet when others do much worse, it seems to :::go unnoticed because they're in "the looper clique." Bah. I'd be :::humbled to do a show with him any day of the week. ::: :::And for my final bridge burning moment (boy am I done with this list!) :::I'm going to finish it with a little review of Matthais' last album: ::: :::Unlistenable. The man has absolutely no sense of rhythm at all. Needs :::to knock off the ganja and spend a month with a metronome. Better yet, :::drop the guitar for a while and work on a modern EDP and drop that :::frustrated ex musician know-it-all Kim and get someone who gives a crap :::to help you develop and market your (brilliant) product. ::: :::Man that felt good! If I had to read one more steller review of that :::thrown together piece of crap (the album) I was going to puke. I'm not :::saying I'm a great musician, but I'm not trying to get money for it :::either. ::: :::So that's that. The LD list has mostly been a source of anger and :::bewilderment to me for a while and I should have followed my instincts :::and stayed unsubscribed. I don't have the disposition for it. LOL! ::: ::: :::Cheerio! ::: :::Mark Sottilaro :::On Sunday, October 5, 2003, at 09:25 PM, Fsksync@aol.com wrote: ::: :::> In a message dated 10/4/03 10:36:00 PM Pacific Daylight Time, :::> sine@zerocrossing.net writes: :::> :::> Ah, now who feels like the idiot?
