Thanks Rand.....I think we have common ground here....I have always been a rebel and bucked trends and the system.....to my cost...but I would not have it any other way.

I just said in another thread that..."Hype, advertising and peer pressure can make people do very strange things"

Sadly some of the people who make and take decisions about what gets "punted" to the public rely on that very fact...they hype crap...they do it well and get away with it...but will only choose something that has been done before and a thing they have full control over. Take no chances.... more of the same..... It worked last time so will work again..never change a winning formula...stagnate
That is all they know how to hype crap.

This is the negative side of the industry not sad wrist slitting songs.
