Maybe that´s the reason why I do understand it :D but more serious also to Stephen - (with most respect 4 your great passion and work on 2playa) I think it´s important to discuss all the art and ideas connected to the music too - if you talk about music and it´s very important not to isolate the music from the way the musicians want it to be presented, the context they present themselves in - Otherwise you come to that one philosophy: "It´s only the music, that counts" (which is simular 2 "it´s only music") Yes, that is the philosophy for some artists but for some others, it´s NOT only about that - For some artists - the messages and emotional edits they put into their work by using special artwork and words is very important too - otherwise it would all be about white nameless labels - without any words - which would interesting too - but it ain´t like that I do even miss more (respectfull) discussions here sometimes about the meanings of words and the artwork connected to the music - But I can never agree with people taking that out - isolating ideas, messages, when they are there - and to dig a lil deeper - older 313-debates - it sometimes seemed to me, that some people don´t want to hear "messages" - especially, when it´s about "the struggle of my people" (Mike Grant) - kind of messages - it´s a shame 4 every one, but a crime 4 any white man to force to ignore messages like that - cauze that´s a part of the big problems on this planet m planetz2002 -- LoveThemPlanetZ peoplez plantz peaze pluz m GMX - Die Kommunikationsplattform im Internet. http://www.gmx.net --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
