Once again, you might very well be the world's biggest
supporter of Otr, But one huge fan (or 10) does not a
supportive city make.

I think there is the whole matter of expectations
also. I used to play in a band. If we played
somewhere in Provo, Utah and got 20 people we would
probably think we had some good support. On the other
hand, if we played in Louisville and got 50 people we
would probably have been a little disappointed. This
is our home. So an apple in Omaha doesn't necessarily
equal an apple in Louisville.
I think you also have to consider that a city's
support isn't only measured by how many people attend
a show. There's record sales, radio support, press
coverage, and on and on...

Apparently, he doesn't think he said anything that he
should be ashamed of.

Umm... that the band is not thrilled with the lack of
support the perceive coming from Cincy.
I really don't think Linford was trying to stir up
anyhing. They obviosly like Ohio. They still live
there and still write songs about the state. So I'm
thinking if he says those things, he really believes
them. And like I said before, he's the one in the
position to make those calls.
