ha! Glad you guys are enjoying it so much. John, srsly, you don't want me running your career..

I did make Pt II, but the site crashed. I'll redo it when it's no longer 'undergoing maintenance'.

Til then, keep sharing it around. You can't embed youtube vids in TB can you? If you can, drag it somewhere else and embed it

It's now on my myspace page, instead of a bio - hopefully people will have their interest piqued by it, like the dude in the vid..

Funny vid, Steve! Although I have to admit I do like tedious, consensus-driven stadium rock as well But hey, there's room for everything!

glad you enjoyed it Jimmy... it wasn't me who said that, it was the guy in the vid. I'm not responsible for his intolerant views on music

I give this a huge thumbs up.

I would think it was even funnier if I hadn't had this exact conversation with my girlfriend before.

Well whether you are or not, it was still very funny. We miss you in ABG but we're all certainly glad you're getting a well-deserved career going doing exactly what you like to do.
