Part of what Jon said,

of.
More part of what Jon said,

I agree with Jon.
I have all of his stuff - some used; some new and I enjoy it and I enjoy him
and I
still fail to understand how he has managed to inherit the role of 'poster
boy' for all 'that's wrong' with
'country' music, or 'music' in general for that matter.
I cheered for Mr. McGwire and I am hoping Mr. Brooks achieves his goal as
well. I believe
that this man's ultimate influence on the music industry has yet to be
felt - there will come a time when artist
turns to 'owning and influencing' and I truly believe when he does this, he
will truly become one of the most powerful
and positive music forces we have ever seen. This man will not stand still.
Anyway, we shall see ......
