Mr. Jim, Am I supposed to take advice from someone who thinks that blowing into a pig's bladder constitutes musicianship? Yoko Hey Yoko go ahead take John in a different direction give Paul a break to write some proper stuff. History will prove you wrong about your man being the driving force. Go sit in a bed for days and make up silly nursery type songs. YES!!!!!

So what was all this drama about? I scanned through the posts and saw nothing remotely offensive said by anyone. I have no idea what Christine deleted, but no one else seemed to say anything offensive or unfair in the least. In fact, it's all 100% legitimate and solid advice.
Brian Brian, Christine asked for opinions about the workings of her son's band. She got those opinions. In among them, some of us suggested that she leave the workings of her son's band up to her son's band. She apparently didn't like that. Mike, With respect, that's not completely accurate. Her question was a specific one. It was about copyright ownership relative to a chords vs. melody co-write between two band members. A few JPF'ers (KevinEdwardRose and Colin) understood that and provided direct and appropriate reponses. A few others decided it was a good opportunity to showcase their "Ann Landers" impersonations  and offer unsolicited advice about interpersonal bandmate relationships and parenting techniques. I can understand Christine being upset by some of the comments made. And the tactic of defending harsh comments by stepping behind the old "its a cold cruel world out there" cliche is becoming a bit tiresome. How about we consider not making the harsh comments in the first place. GJ

It even describes your recap of the events. As to your criticism of my earlier comments: waaa waaa you're hurting my feelings, you mean guy. All the Best, Mike
You've got to know your limitations. I don't know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way. -Johnny Cash It's only music. -niteshift Mike Dunbar Music

The thing about discussion forums is that people tend to say what's on their minds, even when someone asks a specific question. Starting a thread is like blowing a dandelion into the sky...no telling what's gonna happen to the damn thing.
