I've watched this thread all day and I think there are actually numerous discussions going on with the same topic head. I thought _part_ of a _mature_ discussion list was that we all appreciate one another's opinions and use those opinions to fuel and reason our own. So far, I've just heard a lot of anger, bitterness, resentment and things said that will ultimately lead to a DEMF Smackdown.
Money is the ultimate compromiser of soul. Look at hip hop and rap. It makes my stomach CHURN when I see little kids pretending to be gang bangers b/c MTV tells them that's how they get on television and the big house in the hills. 'Hey little mikey, with that mansion comes some time in prison, a couple shootings and some friends dead' "Cool! Will I get to stand next to Carson and be on Yo MTV Raps?" As soon as the bling bling started rolling, it stopped being about the spirit & the soul it started with to something else entirely. If you don't think the same thing will and _is_ happening to electronic music...then well...perhaps be more observant next time you walk into a mall and see all the kids dressed up or worship the DJ Icon. My point here is this, every one who has posted has made good points- so why not just take it as that. God bless Laura and her power to speak and enthuse and make people think. If you disagree with her until the cow comes home, ok, but the point is her words make you THINK, they come with experience, and simply take notice. That goes the same with every one on here. THAT is what a mature, proper discussion is for. smackdown. d __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo!
