No fear of being judgemental... it's just apparent that I am not as much of a busy-body as you... nor am I as self-righteous...
When you can prove to me that you are 100% moral in every aspect of your life, THEN you can judge... and, as an aside - in order to play this YOUR way, I get to decide what is moral and what isn't...

Kinda glad your dad and his mates didn't 'mind their own business', back in the 40s, by the way. If they had, we'd all be speaking Japanese over here, now.You really are more pathetic than I thought - there is a BIg difference between the invasions of sovereign nations, raping and killing the populace and some idiot carving up a dead animal on a stage...

But don't give up your day job.Good advice for anyone - especially guys who think old, stupid lines like "Don't give up your day job" are actually funny. ; )

Well, hello there, CJ. I see you've been paged. : ) (Apparently Chad and I are not whipped up enough about this for Byron's taste.)
To: DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet
..apparently Chad and I are not whipped up enough about this for Byron's taste....That's not it.
Rather, it's fascinating, in a clinical way, to see a tertiary case of cultural cringe.
To: Chad Fairbanks
..when you can prove to me that you are 100% moral in every aspect of your life, THEN you can judge...Not at all.
I'm just your everyday sinner. But that doesn't stop me from speaking out, about something wrong. It's your kind of moral equivalence that's put our culture in the state it's in.

..another sorry attempt to link this to my dad (you've done this before - I haven't forgotten, Byron)......and as I would have said then, if you trade on such a hallowed name, you should conduct yourself in the manner one would expect from its connotations. How many Iwo Jima Vets would be yukking it up, about a band who defiles animal carcasses, on stage? You're very lucky to have gotten away with such screen name misrepresentation- thus far.

I mean, of all the stupid things to get your panties in a bunch over... YOU give them what they want - validity. I give them what they don't want - mocking...

You are quite brave to belittle screen names, especially with yours on a sheep thread...

You seem to misunderstand how the phrase is used among musicians, at least hearabouts. It's a reminder that if success should come your way, stick with the music that's brought you success, and don't think you should spinoff into being a movie or TV star just because you have a few videos worth of time in front of the cameras behind you.
In other words, *Dance with the one what brung ya* or *Don't forget your roots,* once you're mildly or wildly successful.

To: archy
Ah, well, my root are in Folk, old delta blues, classic rock, old country, and to some extent metal... influenced by a lot of great music... which sometimes results in an eccentric eclectic feel... which is why I'm not gonna quit my day job LOL...

...and as I would have said then, if you trade on such a hallowed name, you should conduct yourself in the manner one would expect from its connotations.In all my time on FreeRepublic, I can think of only three people who tried to make an issue of my screen name.
I think very little of those who have.
Not that it's any of your business (there's a phrase I'll bet you hear a lot), but my father was extremely proud of me. I was the apple of his eye. He didn't raise me to kiss anyone's ass, particularly one belonging to some stranger on the internet who dares to assume he knows what my dad would approve of more than I do.
Our conversation is over. You're nothing but a groin-kicker, Byron. I didn't like it when I debated you before, and I don't like it now. Talk to someone who respects you, if you can find anybody like that.
To: Chad Fairbanks
...actually, it's people like YOU who get outraged at every idiotic little thing that make idiots, like this band, do the things they do...No.
It's people like YOU, who don't get outraged, who force them to up the ante.
To: Chad Fairbanks
..YOU give them what they want - validity. I give them what they don't want - mocking...That's an easy cop-out for you, Chad. But your big mistake is, assuming they care.
To: DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet
..in all my time on FreeRepublic, I can think of only three people who tried to make an issue of my screen name...That is is completely self-serving, madam. You made an issue of it, by selecting it. I suppose I could have nominated 'Nephew of an El Alamein Vet' as my screen name, but I would be uncomfortable with trading in reflected glory, in that way.
The point I have tried to make, which you and Chad have either tried to laugh off or dismiss as though I'm some kind of bluestocking, is **where** is the line in the sand, to be drawn? Because - sooner than we think- disfiguring animal heads on stage will be, like, soooo 2003. That's a serious question: at what point would even you two legends of tolerance say, 'enough'? I know you won't reply, so let me leave you with that thought.
To: Byron_the_Aussie
When an actual crime occurs, I'll get outraged... I just don't understand why you chose this particular thing to get your panties in a wad over... there are so many more things to get outraged about...
It must really suck to be you, going through life perpetually outraged at every little thing....

...there are so many more things to get outraged about...What is it that gets you outraged, Chad?
A quick check of your posts shows reams of banal AOL-type chat, so I'll be fascinated to hear which issues get your political dander up. Cheers, By.
To: Byron_the_Aussie
What gets me outraged? Pretty much anything that violates the Constitution of the United States, anything that violates my right to live free and not be bothered by nosy governments and people - That plain enough for ya?
