Even though I opted not to buy the record, I still routinely check the
White site. With their keyboard player crushing the unoriginal Asia,
in favor of original Asia, I figured a funny possibility would be for
White to go original as well...and so I look for news.
Anyway, the beginning of last week a new blurb showed up suggesting
there could be news forthcoming regarding live shows. The blurb
suggested checking back later in the week. So here we are later the
*next* week and the only update is a link to the Boyceblog...and bless
his heart, in his very first post he takes a shot at Nardelli (without
naming him of course) and even at Downes (probably not knowing that
Downes was once "creepy"....er..."inappropriate" enough to post
here)...and don't ya' know, there's even a photo of what appears to be
an organ grinder's monkey.

Rob "so would that be a regular week, or a Seattle week" Allen
And this guy is.......?
A bit pompous for basically a nobody, first he says : "but I feel the band
has a mutual understanding that these are sites for the fans and not a forum
for people in the bands. Having seen a some of that in the past year, it
just seems a bit, well, ok, I'll say it - creepy. No - shouldn't have said
that - inappropriate is a much better word"
and, having said that says right after: "But - how many ways do we have to
communicate to the people who are or might be interested in our music? It's
not easy for a new or unestablished act to reach large amounts of people.
You gotta use the tools available."
He can't have it both ways, whoever he is. Plenty of bands post to their
"fan" groups, Michael Schenker, David Coverdale, just to name 2.
Both names I recognize, the White bozo I do not.

certainly the whole bit is one of the funniest things I have ever read.

Wow, you're like a boxer who got knocked out and then woke up a few
hours later, jumped up yelling, "c'mon, lets go, where is the coward,
I'll knock him silly, bring him ON!".
Exactly, well except that this isn't exactly boxing. Oh, and the crowd
is still here and replying...OH and I am actually (despite the
obligatory protests from the peanut gallery) doing quite well.
Still, the analogy is right on.

If being the seemingly oblivious tareget of ridicule is "doing quite
well", then ya, I guess so. You go, girl.

One can always tell when a phrase is truly gone out of style: middle
aged white men start using it.
Yup. And a couple of us have been using it around here for a while.
Technically, that is the first time that I have been called middle
aged...
