Hi Everyone!
I assume that everyone knows that Lauren has decided to relinquish her moderator position on the Lyric Interp. board to ease up her overly-packed schedule. I order to help her out, I'm going to be the new moderator for the board.
So first off - WELCOME EVERYONE!
A lot of the older ledgies know me already, but you newer ledgies may not. I came to the Ledge around the same time as a lot of us Ledgies - during the Dance tour, and have been here ever since. When Marty started up the Lyric Interp. board, Lauren and I did the first 2 interps., The Chain and Dreams, so go check them out. I hang out mostly on the Lindsey board, but like to keep tabs on the others, too - but Lindsey is GOD.
So, does every realize that there are already over 130 (yes, 130) interpretations done already??!!! That is amazing!! But think about how many more songs there are that don't have an interpretation done yet! TONS more - not to mention that both Lindsey and Stevie are coming out with new albums (I know - Lindsey's may never....)and there may yet be another FM album in the future, so that adds another 30-odd interps to do(at least)!! YEAH!
There's also been interest in RE-DOING interpretations since there are so many newer Ledgies and there is new information coming in all the time from Q & A's, articles, interviews, etc. WONDERFUL IDEA!!
So finally, I'll get to my discussion topic:
****Would it be better to simple write a completely NEW interpretation for one which has already been done, or better to ADD TO one with new information/opinions, etc?
****Is there any interest in doing that type of interp, and do you think it would be easier or harder to ADD TO an existing interp?
This is important everyone - if there's little interest in this option it will probably be dropped and only completely new interps will be written in the future.
Tell me whatcha think!
ALSO - So far, Josh is the only person writing an interp. in September. Is there anyone our there interested in doing an interp. (new or rewrite) starting September first ???
