see, Richard often would allude to these same things on his blog, and occasionally would say them, but then he'd immediately pull back or hide behind some rather metaphysical cliches. It was like he felt saying anything honest was disloyal. Think what you want about Ken and whatever axe he may have to grind, but I'm grateful there's at least one person who was inside the circle who doesn't completely toe the company line and only tell the narrative the band wants told.
