LAUGH! My best friends are in the music biz, and *I* am...well, maybe not me, but someone perhaps who might be...um...okay quit while I'm ahead while preserving plausible deniability...involved in being a token conservative "gonzo" contributor for certain folks in Hollywood (and not for much money...heh...do we also share the very slim "starving CONSERVATIVE artist" minority demographic?). I feel your pain. I've lived in NYC (around NYU & Columbia kids), out here, in MA -- which is just sickeningly liberal -- school at Berkeley, which was at least "fun", about as fun as liberals get, and then back to MA and NYC.

Stuff you folks in Texas will never be able to understand. If only I could make you walk a mile in our shoes... ;-)

Worst part is, I bet, you have to shut your mouth and Uncle Tom it sometimes, dontcha? I know *I* have to keep my mouth shut about certain things doing what I do...or "silently agree" with a stupid opinion expressed by people who are responsible for giving me money and/or favors. You know whereof I speak. :p

Ever been deep behind enemy lines, to the People's Republik of Austin? Different world... Them that ain't from Calipornia are from N'Yawk...
