We don't need your pity.

Some people feel that giving up on an artist who is producing mediocre
efforts is not actually losing anything.  However, there is also the
tendency to stick around and say, "well, maybe this was just a misstep and
next time will be better..." and that has certainly kept me hanging on
throughout the slumps of tackhead, ministry, skinny puppy and others.

Would she really?  Cool, I'm writing her a letter tomorrow: drop those
totally lame drum sounds/programs.  Hire someone who KNOWS what a snare
should sound like.  I can think of a handsome 23 year old from Santa Cruz,
for instance, who'd love a chance to bang kate's drums.  He'd even work for
free. *boom*THWACK* (as Kate and Del cower in the corners) Now THAT'S a
snare!

If you think Reaching Out is an example of how to positively change and try
different things, then we have very little to say to one another regarding
musical experimentation and growth.

Why do you always have to say something that I agree with?  It makes it very
hard to argue some times... :)
