Ed gets all the crap for the lack of commercial success(at least in the US) for LIVE's later albums. However, Ed wrote 9 of 12 songs for The Distance to Here(including the albums biggest hit, The Dolphin's Cry), yet he doesn't get the majority of credit for its success. In many countries it was actually a bigger album than Throwing Copper, and to many it contains LIVE's best work.

So why the double standard?

If someone wants to reply to one of his threads, who the hell is anyone to tell them not to?
Do what you want and let others do what they want.
A member just stated in another thread that they enjoy his posts in the Ed area, a ban would mean no posts anywhere. That hardly seems fair to the people who want to read him.

It sure is tough copying and pasting Ed tour dates in the Ed section!

No, no, no you're finished with this argument.
You're welcome, and not to worry Poke, I'll keep you on the straight and narrow. ::wink
