 But we all make errors of judgement, even the British Prime Minister.

Don't tell me he's gone and pasted a photo of Hitler over someone ...

Maybe he's been caught wearing a mask?

Can't wait till the smile box comes out so we spend all our time talking about the wonderful music that keeps us busy on this board. Smiley

And production aside, I’d so much rather hear a 14 year old David Marks shred some guitar on Chug-a-lug than hear a 51 year old Mike Love sing about bangin some chick in a swimming pool.-rab2591

I honestly don't care what any of the guys sing about, as long as it's something new.

If Brian sang about any type of religions or lifestyles I don't agree with, I wouldn't care, because I know there will still be a good production and amazing harmonies.

Even if he sang all about beastility?  LOL

I stand behind everything I said.

Yeah, it is hilarious. Unless you're willing to stand by what you said, you're a two-faced swine.

Things like being sorry for offending someone don't feature in that dichotomy, then?

All roads lead to Kokomo. Exhaustive research in time travel has conclusively proven that there is no alternate universe WITHOUT Kokomo. It would've happened regardless.

If you insulted me, my family and my beliefs in a mean spirited way behind my back, only for me to hear about it through the grapevine - I may very well accept the apology, but I'd still think you're two-faced.

I love Al's voice and his work but I'll stick by what I said - really dislike this song.

I'm not backpedaling, I only say I meant nothing "mean spirited". Cynical, yes. Sarcastic, yes. Mean, no.
Doesn't mean I like what I see, but I mean what I like and I don't like mean.

As far as being in the public eye as a performer or artist (I fall into that category) you'd better get a thick skin fast. Being insulted by fans on a forum is one thing, but barely a warm up to what's out there as far as "legitimate critics" that have an affect on the buying public. Or put another way - if you go onto youtube you are asking to be ridiculed, period.

I've noticed as fast as folks are on this forum to tear into some artists, they are just as quick to turn around and defend them from outside sources.

Did I miss the good part?

Tosh. This is the interweb, we all get over excited and over-step the mark from time to time. No harm in backpedaling in such circs in my book.

Better to admit an error than to let it flourish and grow cancerous.

I've no doubt at all that one or more Jardine's regret the seeming endorsement of whatever organisation booked them to perform that ditty.

And I'm sure they're aware that those of us who downloaded Postcards and bought the physical CD-R from Amazon will be at the front of the queue when (whenever…) the album's re-issued with bonus tracks, thus helping fend off the day when they have to play more gigs for cults.

Hopefully the ying and yang all yong and yung it into balance.

There's something fishy in Al Sardine's life these days. Not really veggie, if you ask me.

Judging by the sense of Matt's posting in the other thread, I'd say they're upset that the Eternal Ballad video leaked, because it was supposed to be THE surprise bonus cut.

I seem to remember Glen Campbell being mentioned in regards to this. I've never had a good memory but I'm rather certain this happened.

Maybe we should ask Glen.

Wow my post came out a little tasteless if read the wrong way. Only when I re-read did it stick out to me. Disregard the latter part, if you will; I have full respect for Glen.

Yeah Brother John, writing two quite insulting posts about Al and his sons in quick succession after Matt has posted (something he rarely does!) saying that he's offended by the nature of this thread comes across as crass and not exactly good hearted. Even if they're not deadly serious, which will probably be your defense.




@ Brother John, could you tell me exactly what your response on Al’s ears had to do with this topic? If it’s the aging process: that’ll happen to you and me as well...



Hey guys, apologies if my comments offended anyone. I thought this was a light-hearted thread and that comments about Al's ears would be taken as part of the fun. I didn't realise that Matt Jardine had posted on the board a few comments before mine, and wouldn't have made those comments if I had. So apologies to him for any hurt feelings. I guess my comments were a bit OTT for a generally nicely-behaved forum like this.

I'm just a bitter, angry man with too much time on my hands. Roll on Smile-time when we can rejoice in something positive again.
