i can understand andrew's reaction, but i think it's also important to
realize that it was a very short article, and that meanings can often be
twisted in the dual translation that happens when words go from interviewee
to reporter to reader.

yes, the band does have a loyal following here. but the real core base of
fans is spread throughout the country. and cincinnati isn't exactly known
for its ardent support of local music and arts. it makes sense for a band
to want to move to a city that has significantly more resources for
professional musicians. also, it seems to be a pretty big assumption that
they would move "solely because they felt like they weren't getting enough
'love'" from fans. i didn't get that impression from the article at all.
just a few thoughts,
