having been part of a band for 4 years, and watching some of the things that come with it, i can understand how he feels. we were as tight as 5 people could have been, but there were nights where we were not 100% and it was drug related.
the person has to want to change, and if they do not, there is nothing you or anyone can do. i can thank the music business for my love of golf. i was always on team sports my entire life, baseball for 18 years, soccer forever (6 yrs old until last year!!) and i was REALLY sick of other on teams letting us down by not showing, etc... same with the band, not showing up whatever, and i took up golf. im the only one i have to depend on when playing golf. me and mother earth. and she usually doesnt stand me up! i knew about billy and that, never thought about it as a reason to like or dislike cause i guess i already liked him and their music. i was more pissed that EVERYTHING changed from that point on :( but billy came back with Zwan and i like that almost as much. tw On 12/12/05, Jerry Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I see nothing wrong with that.
