But talent does not imply popularity!

Right up there were you said, 'I never used popularity as a gauge
of talent.'  You really do need to start those reading comprehension
lessons soon.  You completely glossed over the issue with your
ambiguous statement about talent 'leading' to popularity.  Please
try to read the section again where I say 'I made a disparaging...'
and read that paragraph.  Perhaps it wasn't a lie, then it was just
the festering diarrhea trying to bubble something else to the top
besides O**LE, O**LE...

All right, here we go.  I *never* said you said Neil 'ripped off'
anyone.  I simply think that a quote from the BIBLE, since you
probably haven't gotten it yet, should be attributed to the bible.
At first it was a joke put at the end of your .sig, I could care
less if some dimwitted shithead happened to hear some good music
one day and find it cool.  But then you started acting like you
really know about rush and think it's cool to say Neil is responsible
for the quote.  And before you ask me how I know Neil respects the
bible, I'm not basing my disquiet on that.  It's the most fucking
documented book in history!  Only a true moron, a dare I say, 
net.idiot, would think they could steal this.  But then your stupidity
shines through and saves you.  YOU DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER TO FIND OUT
WHERE THE WORDS CAME FROM!  You are a slug, eat salt.

Sarah is *very* relevant, she can help you.

Ahhh, but what about what you listen to, any control there?  Or does

As I said, I don't know about these groups, but you picked
