So it's cool to bite, because it has been done before? Perhaps I'm over simplifying that matter, but that's just silly. Was I pissed when that all went down, sure, do I still hold a grudge, yep. But that's just me, I'm human after all. My biggest issue with Mr. Wink is that his biggest hits were what's wrong with dance music as a whole!
Example: How's your Evening So far! - great record when it was French Kiss Superphreak - it was better when Dan did it. I think what your missing in the rage that all the heads exhibited at that time period, was the simple fact that Josh caned those exact records he chose to bastardized and then made a mint off of them. I don't care if he plays the festival or not (i'll be there anyway), just don't get it twisted on why ppl were pissed about those particular contributions to dance music. jw On Tue, Mar 25, 2008 at 3:48 PM, Frank Glazer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > i think the whole hullabaloo over ripping off dan bell's track was > bulllllllllllshit. doesn't anybody remember the 50s when five > different artists would do the same song in their own style? i think > where josh went wrong with that was not crediting dan for inspiration. > lame, but still, i think the people who got so upset by it were > overreacting. > > > > > On Tue, Mar 25, 2008 at 3:43 PM, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Through a former friend, I met and hung out with Josh for an afternoon a > > few years back. > > He's a nice fella.
