I want Meat to succeed, and I want the album to be an amazing success - I mean, of course I do, hands down, I love Meat's music - and I want Meat to be happy with it. And I want everyone to like it. Of course I do. Not everyone WILL, but I WANT them to. And if they don't, hey, no big deal. But as a fan of this man and his music, I WANT it to succeed beyond his wildest dreams. I want it to be brilliant. And so should you.
Isn't that how it should be..?  |
I've got the champagne.....
(hiccup)! No, all kidding aside. I feel like a sideline cheerleader at times for Meat. We are the rah-rah, go Meat go chant committee .....yet we are down 36-0 in the fourth quarter, 2 minutes to go, ball not in our hands and we are out of timeouts. We'll still cheer no matter what. So yeah, I'd like to apply for the POSITIVITY POLICE opening. I thought about a thread possibility called: Constructive Criticism and its rebuttle thread called: Supportive Words and Kudos. This way if Meat wanted to hear some kind words he can click there.....if he is needing other feedback, well then he can click there. It would weed out some of the bs. There are pluses to having seperate threads, but at the same time open forum about one topic can be beneficial to the closed minded. It was a fleeting thought. But I've enjoyed this thread (thank goodness R. moved the food circus from earlier).

In the way this album has been promoted - special tracks released, chapters of the story, sneak previews - well, it has some of that event-like vibe I was talking about earlier.
I don't know about you guys, but I like that idea  |
When I summerized the private listening parties a bit ago...I loved the idea, and still do. I'm hoping the US gets a taste of Meat up close and personal like that. Plus I love the guard Meat has put up around this album. Protecting it and letting it have "an event". This feels like an event to me. So I thank Meat for keeping friends close and enemies closer.

Well said Julie.
