Just thought I'd throw in my thoughts on this matter. First off, I think Colin Galbraith had the guts to just state what HE thinks, putting his Mad fan hat aside for a minute and coming clean... I like that! I wish every fan had the courage to do that, to stand back once in a while and REALLY survey the scene! I agree practically 100% with all you wrote, my wee (not sure about THAT one! heheheh) Scots matey, and as The Foley said "some home truths" indeed. It's weird isn't it that sometimes we're so engrossed in something and think that our way (and ONLY OUR WAY!) is the best/right way... it's like we're so secure in what we believe that we can't let anyone or anything challenge it! The way I see it, it's the fact that we are INSECURE which makes us act like that, kinda like "I KNOW I'm getting old, but I won't ADMIT it!" Now what's with that? :) Madness have had THEIR slice of the cake and ate it with feverish hunger in their day, and while I LOVED 'Wonderful', I think it did pretty well, even though it was a 'failure' when compared to their previous material. In my opinion, Madness had run their course (do you all REALLY want to see them end up like The Rolling Stones?... come on now, be honest!) and while 'Wonderful' was a pleasant addition to their repertoire, it wasn't a NECESSARY one and life would have gone on without it! Brutal point, I know, but also a plain fact! Unless it was TOTALLY for the money, I still don't see the reason for it! Like Duran Duran... do you all really believe it's for the fans or cos they like working together? Well maybe that's PART of the reason, but the main one HAS to be the money! I will stop here for now cos I'm off to work but I'll write some more if I think of anything... laterz gals and boys ~ TP
