What I really stopped back to say is; Thanks for the French Maid Goldie! Yum!

L8!

I got just one insight to pass along: You say you made a mistake at your computer. I bet when you hit that return you weren’t thinking it might be a mistake. In fact, you wrote that it took a while for you to accept that you had made a mistake. That’s pretty normal.

So you say you like to “share the happiness” you feel playing music. So don’t throw it away. My thought is that you open yourself a little bit to the idea that maybe it’s you who are making another kind of mistake here. Maybe the band is right that this is a step your group as whole needs to take. Maybe your resistance isn’t really the right thing, just like hitting that return on your computer wasn’t really the right move. Just because you “smell something fishy” doesn’t mean you can’t learn something from a new experience.

If half the world loves the song, maybe it’s not just because they “don’t know any better.” Maybe you’re hitting that return key out of habit or prejudice that has nothing to do with anything but your own self-imposed limits.

In any case, don’t give up on your music and your mates just to stay true to some vague noion that the only music worth playing is the particular kind that makes you feel good.

That’s as touchy-feely as I care to go.

Strike Two: I am so not single.

Strike Three: I think you should expand your horizons, so I can’t procure a man for you from among my Jewish friends.

Now that I’m out, can we still be bloggin’ buddies?

Kathleen - This whole Superman/Kryptonite thing has derailed me more than I expected. I’m having serious doubts about my hipness, which I’d previously considered to be unassailable. All things shall pass, I guess. I still have my old blues records.

However, let’s explore for a moment: Are you single?!! And if not, do you know any single Jewish men?

If you are Jewish, AG would be MORE than happy to make you feel better.
