But seriously, Belew isn't looping on tour (that I was able to hear) and there are way too many people blathering on about too many topics that are not loop oriented. It takes lots of time to read through these and I'm probably not the only person that is a little tired of it. As far as the tech god pedestal thing, you put me up there. I NEVER said I was the answer to your tech prayers. In fact, I'm just a man, definitely NOT a god.I'm just a guy trying to do right by musicians and am fortunate enough to make a living doing it. Grow up a little bit and deflate your ego for a second. BTW - I love Belew, always have.
