Hi Kevin!,

I've only been a member of this forum a short time myself, but long enough to realize the are a number of analogies that describe this forum accurately. I saw in an interview recently that you described this new collaboration as "getting a new girlfriend". Well, participating in this forum is like meeting that new girlfreind's dysfunctional family. I mean that affectionately, of course. I also equate it to a trainwreck-it's a tragedy, but you just can't seem to look away. Or it's like the Godfather saying "I tried to get out, but they keep pulling me back in". Seriously though, there's nothing subtle about this forum. It's not indicative of "a collection of sheep toting the party line". This board is a group of real individuals, each with it's own opinion and each all are willing to express their opinion. This is what attracts me to this board as well as the subject matter-new kick ass rock and roll. It's clear emotions run freely here. We are emotionally driven and that emotion is coming from the new music TGF has provided us. TGF has got us excited, you've provided us something new, something bold, something fresh, something we've been missing for awhie. I'm sure you've realized that as you peruse this board, you've got mad love and support from 97% of this forum. Our excitement, though, prevents us from ignoring the 3% that are trying to undermine our enthusiasm. We feel we need to protect TGF as if we've taken ownership of it-of course that is rediculous, but hey! rationale be damned. As musicians, surely you know you've inspired us, invoked our emotions whether positive or negative. To me this represents the true meaning of art and how I judge success. I'm a 45 year old white collar professional who has no business participating on an internet forum such as this. But I share a kindred spirit with the rest of the members here in saying that TGF makes me feel like I'm 16 years old again-and I thank you. I will see you guys in Indy in November and I hope to shake your hand and thank you in person. Long live TGF!
