Found my 2 cents lying around, so I thought I throw them in.

Brian (aka the Great OZ) I agree with all your points about the voting and I support your decision totally.

Pramod, I think we all have to remember that there is no one legitimate topic or style of music that is correct. As creative people, we need to remain as open as possible, so we ourselves can grow. I long ago took to heart what Oscar Wilde said about writing - There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book, it is either well written or badly written.

And that certainly applies to 9/11 (or other weighty topics.) In addition, as one editor commented on a short story of mine "If you just want to send a message, use Western Union!" Meaning that nothing, not even the most important of topics, is more important than getting a good story across, or writing a good song. Looking forward to your comments.
