BOC/OFF: Repercussion of a bad musical trip

[Joseph Brooks]

But we're the ones who buy their music and attend their concerts which, in
my opinion, gives us the right to bash them, critique them and yes, make fun
of them. Without us they'd all be working at Sears or Denny's or
something...

                Yeah, I just forgot to mention it.  I've never made fun of
anybody. ;-)

                Anyways... I just hate to see musicians who worked a long
time for
                their success get run down due to some (serious)
misjudgements made in
                their later years.  And this business of kicking the shit
out of bands
                who have no defenders is getting kind of old.
