The machine said to supress any unneccessary verbiage, but if I had done so, there wouldn't have been anything left. So I ignorred the request. I think Jeff Winslow was totally out of line to put down all people on net.music and the unsigned asshole who responded was even more out of line. As a proud SCUMBAG DEADHEAD who does not fit into yuppie stereotypes I was not surprised that someone who was into hardcore punk could make such sweeping generalizations about DEADHEADS. The reason I am not surprized is that I have found a tendancy in the music of the punk style to be lacking in the sensitivity and humanity of the types of music I enjoy. "SCUMBAGS of the world unite.

[ANDY BINDMAN] As opposed to the intense sensitivity and feeling induced by listening to four hour jams on the same two notes by drugged out musicians. As long as generalizations are in vogue. (The most hysterical part of the article was the author referring to Jeff Winslow as "someone who was into hardcore punk". He couldn't have been referring to David Lobotomy, because he thought his article was "unsigned". Jeff, I honestly didn't know. What would a band consisting of you, Levadie, and me sound like?) -- "Discipline is never an end in itself, only a means to an end." Rich Rosen pyuxd!rlr
