Hi all, In a message dated 10/15/02 3:39:35 AM, mark_francombe@hotmail.com writes: >I wonder if they're having such a tricky time defining what they do >over at "Distortion Delight"? Perhaps it's just me but the above comment highlights something I've found troublesome for quite some time -- the "Delight" part of the LD name. It always makes me think of either a drive-in ice cream establishment or Glen Campbell (who's from from "DeeeEEEeeelight, Arkansas"). Whenever I speak to friends who are musically knowledgeable (but not necessarily loopists themselves) about something I read on "Looper's Delight" it always generates a moment or two of snickers (and half a minute of sheepish LD apologetics from me) to mention the site name. It's sortta like the song about the "Boy Named Sue" by Johnny Cash. I wonder sometimes if these folks would snicker if it were just called "The Loop" (unfortunately www.theloop.com and www.getintheloop.com are both already taken -- I checked) or something else entirely . . . It's just a thought. But, I've always thought the "Delight" part a little too cute, odd, funky, strange, whatever -- sorry Kim (it's just an opinion). I've been part of this community since almost it's inception. I value it very highly . . . but the name has always caused problems in trying to get outsiders to take anything I might quote from it seriously. Oh well, maybe it's not a good time to poke at anybody's sacred cows. I hope I haven't stepped in somebody's sacred cow pie.
