Hey folks,
I'd like to apologize for ruffling feathers about the Herbert issue. I
think we should probably kill the thread and agree to disagree.
As I'm sure is the case for many of you, politics has become (especially
during the last few years) an issue of nearly equal importance to music
for me. So I find myself getting passionate about situations that
involve a melding of the two.
I never meant to disparage Herbert's vision. I think his music is
beautiful, I admire the depth of his conviction, and I agree with
everything he's trying to say. My issue is only with the manner in
which he says it, and even that (clearly) is a matter of contention.
But it makes me sad to see an issue like this creating divisivness among
people who probably completely agree with him. We have bigger enemies,
and bickering amongst ourselves distracts from those larger issues.
So, can we kill it?
