This is from the web site of the guy who produced the new Journey CD. He
must have had fun coming up with this:
-------------------------------
Dear Friends;
It is with this letter that we, the Fans Of Real Music (FORM), officially
denounce and protest the selection of Steely Dan's "Two Against Nature" as
the Grammy Award's Record Of The Year.
We, the loving fans of Eminem, Madonna, Brittany Spears, Coolio,'n Sync,
Christina Aguilera, The Backstreet Boys, Dr. Dre, Metallica, Limp Biscuit,
Snoop Doggy Dog and The Deftones urge you to boycott ALL music that utilizes
ANY of the following musical elements: Melody, harmony, phrasing, dynamics,
arrangement, good intonation, tonality, modulation, improvisation,
real instrumentation, more than two sections and lyrics we understand.
We also ask you not to listen to any music that DOES NOT contain acceptable
subject matter. Acceptable subject matter would include ONLY the following:
Death, gang rape, mayhem, gender changing, bigotry, masturbation, public
defecation, penile implants, John Rocker, and school bombings.
We are profoundly convinced that Mr. Dan is either a communist or an agent
of Napster as his covert actions against the Great Recording Industry are
obviously an attempt to take food out of the mouths of our country's most
loved artists.
We urge you to not purchase or see any music that is "jazz based" or has
"jazz influence" as it undermines the purpose of music in America.
We ask you to write your local representative as Steely Dan's attempts to
destroy the Great Recording Industry cannot go unnoticed.
JimO'
