Yup. Sorry... when my wife told me she was chatting with Jon, & I did the usual 'yeah, sure... you've got the ''big-kid'' stuff wrong...' look, darling...' - and I embarassed myself.
She showed me the emails. He said he was rubbed out for saying his brother was a better bass player.
Now.... as Brian says... two thirds of the group would PROBABLY say Giffo's the ultimate Oils bass player... even if that's not so, the purpose of the forum, I think, is so we can banter about EXACTLY this kind of stuff...
It's fun talking with like-minded fans about the 'detail'. Everyone's got their own opinion... and it probably changes from time to time... Or so I thought.
So... Jon's sin was he actually said it out loud! (on the "official" 'powderworkers' forum)
As mine was, apparently, for saying 'selinas tickets?¿? huh??' (yes, I admit that I'm axe-grinding) But I got a ticket to the selinas gig because of the awesome (& fair) comeradeship of THIS group (which, i THINK, got allocated THREE tix, as opposed to 80 (
? - please correct me if I'm wrong ) ).
So, since then, I've spoken to a few oils peeps & apparently, the list goes on about being 'blocked' for just chatting (& NO - for the moment - I'm ignoring the MENTAL racist, mysoginistic, hateful stuff that seems to have turned up in that place).
Anyway... I was getting to the point that, considering the way the facespace group was going, maybe they should have named themselves the 'Redneck Wonderland' and just left us to do our stuff?
So, yeah, I check that stuff out & ROLF all over the place!!! : D
I'm looking forward to the new music!
