Hey Tommie,

I think you nailed it. Quiz and Mix are realists...unlike that bitter bunny who doesn't have clue. If Ian could make money off new records he sure as hell be popping them out year after year.

Read your posts there, Tommie, and you have been completely vindicated. I remember you were attacked right off the bat when you voiced your criticisms, which were valid all along, and I always defended your right to express yourself without being shouted down, as often happened. The mentality there was "we better mind our P's & Q's just in case Ian is having a peek at our forum," almost as if we are children and Ian is is our father. I don't agree with that at all. Ian should know what his fans are thinking.

I think it is perfectly fine and natural to admire and marvel at an artist's work, but to have mixed feelings about the artist himself. Once, I was at Billy Crystal's Broadway show a few years ago, when a cellphone went off in the audience. Crystal stopped the show, actually stepping out of character to go on a tirade against the audience member for not turning his cell phone off. So uncool and unprofessional that was, and I completely lost respect for him after that, although I still acknowledge he is a great entertainer. But for all he knew, that person paid $150.00 to see his show and had no choice but to keep the cellphone on for a sick family member, or in case of an emergency with their babysitter, for example.
