I've been a huge fan of this band for a long time. I've met them, drank with them, met some of their moms even. I've read all of CT's epic social media posts and blogs (they are always very emotional). I loved TGF and loved what they did with Shinn.

This whole business of not saying one word about Chris Shinn and removing The Turn from online outlets has really finally turned me off from following them closely. I will totally check out the music with Ed, and I'll buy the old albums on vinyl when I spot them (just got SS last week!), but it is more out of nostalgia at this point. And I'll probably see if TGF does anything else because that was an incredible time.

Even through the "Heaven" single, SFBM, the things said about Ed (true or not it was way too out in the open), I was never embarrassed to be a fan of Live. It's kind of amazing that this is finally happening now but here we are. This band meant a lot to me for a long time, including The Turn which had some amazing songs on it, and the authenticity of its members was a big part of my respect for them. Pretending this chapter didn't exist, as smart as it is as a marketing move, just doesn't line up with what I came to admire about this band.

I have made some cool friends through this community and had some amazing experiences. I'm sincerely grateful for the interactions I've had both with the band and the fans, especially getting to go the show at the Strand. I hope one day they acknowledge the time with Chris in a proper way and put the The Turn back out there.

Until then...
