The machine said to supress any unneccessary verbiage, but if I had done so, there wouldn't have been anything left. So I ignorred the request. I think Jeff Winslow was totally out of line to put down all people on net.music and the unsigned asshole who responded was even more out of line. As a proud SCUMBAG DEADHEAD who does not fit into yuppie stereotypes I was not surprised that someone who was into hardcore punk could make such sweeping generalizations about DEADHEADS. The reason I am not surprized is that I have found a tendancy in the music of the punk style to be lacking in the sensitivity and humanity of the types of music I enjoy. "SCUMBAGS of the world unite.
