I'll bump this thread up because there is a discussion going on in another thread that wants to continue but doesn't really belong there. If people feel like they still need to discuss, now a year later, why Patti left the band, perhaps they'll bring that over to this thread. I know this is a question that draws much speculation and usually results in thread locking or deletion, rightly so, I guess. The question I ask myself (and other relevent parties

) is why now, after all this time, does it still matter WHY she left? It does seem to make a difference how fans feel about her..........thinking she left Meat because she wanted to break out on her own and not be tied down by another two years of touring makes some fans feel one way about her...............or thinking she was driven out or even fired to be replaced by someone younger makes other fans feel the need to defend her and potentially disparage Aspen. For these reasons, I wish the truth would come to light. But unless explaining what really happened will make either party feel better or have a sense of closure, it isn't going to happen. Reading Patti's blog recently may make one feel differently, but I think much has happened to this woman in the course of a year that is entirely unrelated to ML, but contributed to the frustration in those posts. All I'll say is she appreciates the support from all her fans, doesn't take anything for granted, and reads everything anyone sends her.........including questions

.

Since all of the above may disappear, I'll try to save the post with a link, once again, to her most recent project, performances in Italy. Deb has done an amazing job posting pics and videos on her site for Patti.

Here's a direct link to the newest video montage of Patti performing with Ellis Hooks:

It's just fun.
