a) yesb) no
c) I'm not sure
I always vote "c" for anything pertaining to this list.

That sounds about as wasteful of my time as anything else, why not?

They'll surprise you, that's for sure.
But seriously, I hope you don't take offense to me poking some fun.
I think there have been some pretty awful tangential issues explored
recently
but I think there's more of "them" than there are of "us" and
I've been on this and other lists long enough to know that "delete" is the
answer is most cases.
But, on the other hand, there really isn't much going on with the band
right now that hasn't been hashed and re-hashed for months on end, so I
appreciate some of the levity.
I would like some new otr news as well but there doesn't seem to be any, you
might want to check back in a couple months or around the time of the Emery
show
when things will swing back into focus on the band.
One more thing, Ric isn't coming back to otr and I'm pretty glad about it.
Sure, I love the old sound better than anything back when otr was the "best
band in the universe". I love Ric's musical personality as much as anyone
and I'm
getting over my bitterness finally, but if you want more Ric--check out
Monk.
It's a better place for him.
Anywho, what was the point of this whole thing?
