Originally, I was going to respond to each of you. There are just SOOO many great points that have been made that it would take me too long. Man, ya'll never fail to impress me!

I'm going to chalk this one up to me. A learning experience. It's not the thin/thick skinned thing. I'm actually pretty ok in life overall. Thankfully, even with 6 kids, not much drama!

I saw today that people were all over Steve Martin for his comments about Carrie Fisher's passing. I don't think he meant ANYTHING bad by his comments in the least. Yet, there were people that twisted what he said into something else. I'm thinking that's life.

As far as comments made here, there wasn't anything against me or my work...well, my one song...lol. It was about the genres I tend to write in. To just put it "out there"...I write things along the lines of Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean, Dan and Shay, Rascal Flatts, Randy Houser, Keith Urban...even Nickelback at times.

There is even some (very limited) rap that I'm impressed with...but don't write. I feel if you haven't seen "Epic Rap Battles Of History", you are missing out on some impressive writing!

I don't know that I've ever seen comments about other genres or bands on here that get negatively commented on in the same way some of what is EXTREMELY popular with the general public is.

There are artists that have sold millions that I don't care for their music. I don't get why I think it's so bad or say it's $%&^. They must be doing something right to get sales like that! I'm not going to be a part of it, or by my comments discourage someone from coming here and using BIAB to do that type of music. More power to them! It helps the product, and it helps us users, IMO. But that's just it...that's my opinion.

That got me thinking, I'm sure people maybe don't see it because it doesn't affect them. Like if someone on here said "Reggae is the lamest music in the world"...it wouldn't impact me much. It's not that I don't like reggae, but it wouldn't impact me because I don't listen to it much or write it. But if you listen to reggae you might be a bit more bothered by the comment.

So I guess some things I need to sort out. It's probably mostly coming from my need to want to contribute. I see opportunities now though. I was unaware of the facebook comments. I will say this, you ABSOLUTELY can write in those styles with BIAB!! I'm probably preaching to the choir on that, as you all know.

For what it's worth, I'm so glad I brought it up. When I say I am impressed by the comments, and REALLY mean that! I'm pretty much always expect good responses, but always find myself amazed at how insightful you all are. Not to mention, that you take the time to comment, is awesome as well!

I'm sure I may have addition comments, but forum writing is NOT my forte! I always feel you can say sooo much in so few words with a song. Here I write a novel and feel I still didn't do justice! LOL!

Thanks! smile
