I have this belief that all of us are jealous a bit of what he has
accomplished without support from the 313. I have to say that given
that HE has accomplished being a pop icon without being a pop icon,
and people follow (including those on this list) what he does with
intensity.
It is troubling that a post mentioning his name gets many many
responses, yet 313 related music seems to go largely unnoticed. I
currently don't care that he's twittering. He's not following me
yet.
Forget this person, by our press online we subliminally support HIM.
He's not paid to play my records, he knows who I am (I own his old
DAT machine).
It really doesn't matter at all.
This is all I have to say on the matter.
