   It's all an act, a put-on, an illusion, or to put it another way, PHONY!   
   That's why I was so upset when "Red Ronnie" Reagan announced his intentions   
   to become president of the USA...the very idea of a *professional* "actor*   
   ACTING as president was much more than a cause for alarm!

   Phonies! That's why it's not supposed to be like that...Music is too   
   Special, too Sacred, too Awesome to Desecrate it so!!!

   And all for being STUPID!!!

   It's more than just great, it's Literally SURVIVAL!!!   
      
   And I will add   
   that on the top end, as near as we got to it to see, those people are   
   smart. And they are driven by the same things that drive any SUCCESSFUL   
   business person. That's not gonna be gettin' high and partying.   
      
      
   Jim   
      
   If what drives them and is what they get high on and party with is the Root   
   of ALL Evil, they're not smart, they're Stupid and unless they change, i.e.   
   Repent of it, they will Totally miss out on Genuine Success!!!
