Every Friday I transfer posts here from the Virtual Pint archives.
Halfway through January already. Hard to believe. Is it like that for you?
Here are three long posts from the archives, all in some way contributing to extended conversation. My favorite kind. Lots of navel-gazing this round — I was in a ruminative mood. That happens (smile). I actually wish I had time to wander around in my own sandbox right now: instead I feel like I’m running on some endless track, around and around and around.
I hope your days are less loopy, in all ways, than mine are right now.
Enjoy these pints.
- Going public (July 2004) — Throwing down, with feeling.
- Please, can I go there too? (July 2004) — Writing, with feeling.
- Because I want it (August 2004) — Continuing the conversation about going public.
I learned to rationalize almost before I could talk, but even to a champion rationalizer, bootlegging is stealing. It’s stealing from the band, and ultimately, it’s stealing from other fans and potential fans.
Don’t worry. Your ethics got my attention, but it was your expression of your feelings that moved me.
