(FOOL) I gotta tell you I've had it at work all week and it's just WOW. What have I been missing since I last put it away. I'm still not too keen on a whole cd dedicated to a theater type production (2112 was just long enough) but I'll get over that. As usual their musical ability and the tightness of their sound etc etc just blew me away. I must have been distracted by my wife's nagging when I'd previously listened to it. Still waiting for TOT to arrive down under. Hopefully tonight, as promised by the local store. George. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 28 Nov 2003 02:26:31 -0500 From: "Ilia" To: Subject: RE: wankery Message-ID: The Admiral wrote: >Shut the hell up, he is entitled to his opinion, and we don't need that kind >of talk here. If he's entitled to an opinion, am I not entitled to a question regarding it? Are opinions absolutely sacred from scrutiny, per Item #1 on the recently-posted prog-criteria list? Particularly thinking people (and I assume those who claim to be fans of 'progressive' are such), is it really so wrong to poke fun at how much someone so dislikes something so subjective? I mean, did no one (ladies on the list respectfully excluded) find a touch of humor in my allusion to the mythical PMS? Opinions are one thing, whining about things he and everybody else already said several times are another. Freedom of opinion is one thing, rubbing in your personal psychological reaction to the thing that is the object of said opinion is another. It makes no one friendlier to each other when some people's utter hatred for things that some other people love (or at least don't vehemently dislike) is expressed so blatantly. I say all this, and I don't even have much to say in defense of TOT or wankery....

I don't know why fans feel they have to dictate to a band what they should write about. If you don't want to hear it, skip the song. Artists express themselves in whatever way they feel they need to, so if MP wants to write a song expressing his feelings over a family matter, that is his right. Hell, modern rock bands like Korn have made an industry out of it, and I don't hear anybody complaining, but if DT does it, it sucks? Let's get real here. You are entitled to your opinion, but I don't think it is fair to tell somebody what their lyrical content should be. Just don't listen to the song.

I don't care what you think of me or my opinion. Again, that is also your problem. Beyond my own opinion on the album, my other point was basically jealousy of those that actually think it's really a great album. In closing, if you are that concerned with genetialia...perhaps you should try a different kind of mailing list. Hope you had a lovely holiday. >From: "Ilia" >Reply-To: ytsejam@torchsong.com >To: Multiple recipients of list >Subject: RE: wankery >Date: Thu, 27 Nov 2003 23:12:30 -0800 (PST) > >The Admiral wrote: > >Shut the hell up, he is entitled to his opinion, and we don't need that >kind > >of talk here. > >If he's entitled to an opinion, am I not entitled to a question regarding >it?
