There's also an interview with me up at http://www.forevernow.com - it's a Level 42 site... I recently had an er, 'interesting' encounter with some guy who posted an abusive non-review on the guestbook on my site - said he didn't like what I did at the L42 gig (fair enough), and then said 'if I'd known there wasn't a support act I'd have arrived at 9pm...' - which is clearly just an insult, not constructive or helpful at all... so I deleted it, and he got all upset and accused me of censorship.. LOL - like, I'm really obliged to pander to the loony ramblings of someone I don't know, have never met, have no connection with beyond him seeing me in concert and not enjoying it... er, riiiight... It's weird how people feel almost compelled to be personally abusive about the musician if they don't like the music... very odd indeed... I've got lots of friends who aren't hugely into what I do (too far outside of their frame of reference), and I'm sure there are plenty of people who enjoy what I do who I wouldn't particularly want to invite to stay in my house... It's a weird one, the assumed link between music I don't like and people I don't like... I'd put a review that accuses you of 'mindless guitar wankery' in the insulting and not worth considering category, myself... Steve www.steve-lawson.co.uk
