MHB sed:

Lenny admits:

Then, forgetting he was wrong, he said:

>(who probally care more about how they look than sound)

(Just keep digging that hole Lenny, eventually you'll bury yourself)


Lenny again:

Lenny: listen very carefully. You *did* start this. I never knocked the blues.
I merely responded to the thoughts of a blithering idiot slamming music that I
like. How could I possibly knock the blues? I don't know a thing about them.

>Gosh your clever

And correct!

>I bet you called billy ray trash yourself, what i mean is i can't see how

For the record, I did not participate in the Billy Rae bashing. But if I
did, I sure would have given some decent reasons as to why I didn't like him.
And I *certainly* would have made sure I *atleast* *listened* to it, before
I said anything.

>someone can not like blues, beacuse of the feeling and because it's genuine
>I didn't say all music is trash I named one band just because i don't
>like it doen't mean it's trash and i like some country, gospel, jazz but
>that heavy metal sucks IMHO..so listen to it if you want, but i'll still
>have my opinion....L.W.

Opinions are like assholes: Every list (body) has one.
