abc article I found interesting. I sometimes hate society for these kind of things, I still love people though.

I'd rather the play the drums any day. I've never seen Neil Peart near a flute. And I sure as hell don't want to hear any band where they have a flute player!

Jethro Tull Band... nuff said. It made the flute cool!!

TULL = Flute
DMB = Violin

They are both killer bands.

It's not the instrument ... it's how you play it!

That is exactly what first alerted me to how much the flute sucks. That and having to put up with them in school music lessons! Gimme a synthesizer any day!
