Bring it Back
I don't post much but I decided to comment on this issue. The reason I enjoy this band
besides the great music, is what they stand for and usually, for what the fans stand for, peace, harmony,
respect for our fellow man and an honest commitment to make this world a better place.
All the animosity, jealously, greed is exactly what we should all be trying to fight against. So
what if things get messed up sometime. I regret the many times I have screwed things
up at work and caused huge problems for my clients. I am human and make mistakes. What good
does hate and discontent serve? What's done is done, try some encouragement instead of negativity.
Maybe offer suggestions in a non confrontational manner instead of accusing people of somehow personally attacking you. Be nice.
Perspective. This is just a band, human beings who make good music. Why the massive obsession?
If you don't get 10 club tickets - that does not mean you aren't a bigger fan then somebody else who doesn't
have ten club tickets. Why do people think they are entitled to so much from a band who has given their
fans so much more more. There are so many things that are way more important than this.
Obviously this doesn't apply to most of us as fans and even the fans who are upset probably will come
to grips with their over reactions in a few weeks. Lets bring this back together and not pull people apart.
Remember what brought us here to begin with. It s not about how many concerts you have been seen, its not
about how many bootlegs you have, its not about who knows more about the band then somebody else, its
about your own personal, spiritual relationship to the music. That is all that matters - your own personal
perspective and relationship with yourself, music and feelings.
Lets try to pull this back together and bring this great fan base back to where we were in the 1990s. Let's work hard to lead by example and be better people to each other. It 's much more fun!
Thanks
