   > Right.  The so called " musician's " are putting themselves out of work.   
      
   When they Disrespect, Disregard, Neglect, and Abandon Integrity, THAT's   
   what'll put them out of work...and destroy Art of Music too.

   Yep, and Tragically that's also what Lazy CopyCats also do - NOTHING ON   
   THEIR OWN!!!   
   And they wonder why they feel like they 'have to' 'compete' with   
   computers...or DJs with MP3 players for that matter.   
   It's another SHAME ON THEM situation!   
      
   > I hate out of time, out of " the groove " playing.   
      
   I'd rather use a metronome. My Fostex MR-8 MultiTracker digital recorder has   
   a click track and I've used it many times, and Hated it every time, because   
   its sound doesn't belong in ANY kind of Music...it's a Disgusting, Annoying,   
   Irritating sound far better suited to Noise than to Music! I don't know why   
   the IDIOTS who put such Crap into various systems couldn't instead provide   
   several *realistic* sounding drum, rimshot, block, cowbell, cymbal, and   
   hi-hat sounds instead of those Dumb, Unnatural, Disgusting clicks!   
      
   > Here's the thing.  THERE AREN'T ANY COMPETENT PLAYERS AVAILABLE.   
      
   That's what happens when Music isn't taken Seriously!   
   Competence Requires an Investment in Time and Commitment, and the MATURITY   
   to see it through!

   So Painfully well I know how that goes...they'd rather be 'rock stars' than   
   Serious...what a Tragedy...and they actually expect to play gigs!   
      
   > We all know people like that, apparently.   
      
   That's because they're everywhere, like so much More FECES!!!   
      
   That's why I'm so Blessed to have my SoulMate! I don't know what I'd do   
   without him, don't even want to think about it...because around here, and   
   probably just about everywhere else too, NO ONE ELSE is serious about   
   Music - they're  ALL a bunch of 'rock stars', prima donnas, divas,   
   show-offs, and ego maniacs who think their dung doesn't stink and that   
   therefore they don't EVER need to rehearse, or probably even practice for   
   that matter...because they're 'naturally' 'great'...and are always ready to   
   take the stage, steal the spotlight, and the show, play like a total Train   
   Wreck, then take the money and run!   
   A Machine has more *Integrity* then they do...no wonder they feel   
   threatened! THEY DESERVE IT...AND THEN SOME!!!   
      
   That's why our name, The Difference, was such a natural choice, and also one   
   to live up to ;)

   I do believe these other musicians are upset because they're beginning to   
   feel the effects of they Laziness, for not being SERIOUS musicians! It's   
   catching up with them and they fear they may actually be Forced to give up   
   being Lazy IF they want to survive!!!   
      
   CAN'T HAPPEN SOON ENOUGH FOR ME!!!
