I personally have learned a lot from reading this thread. I began my encounter with other Mac/Stevie fans many years ago when a fan magazine “The Velvet Underground” started. Other fan oriented activities, clubs and magazines followed. They’ve come and gone and a few were fun while they lasted. The reason many of these fan activities failed was because of s*!t like I’ve read in this thread. A bunch of grown people acting like children. Every time the fans get together it doesn’t take long before the crybabies and s*!t stirrers try to ruin the beauty by being a beast. Jealous, greedy, controlling aholes that have nothing better to do then spread they’re vial poison. It doesn’t take long to figure out who will be trouble. On the surface they look normal but when you look closely they’re spirit is dark and corrupted. I call them familiar spirits. I can see them dying inside. They’re heart full of cobwebs. They open a window to the world and let they’re skeletons dance. It’s sad because they’re true spirit is bound and crying in the dark. Desperately waiting for the character on the surface to look inward and set it free but it knows. It knows it can never be truly free until the character on the surface has the honesty and maturity needed to give it life. Don’t get me wrong. The true spirit has an opinion and gets very angry when a wrong has been done but because of its pure love it knows when to stand back. It waits just below the surface allowing the character to absorb the knowledge and wisdom it feeds on. Please everyone. Let this thread cease. The familiar spirits will always be amongst us but the true spirits must see we have made a mistake. We created an arena for the skeletons to dance. Stand back and absorb the knowledge and wisdom. Suffocate the familiar spirits by refusing to recognize them. They hate lack of recognition. It drives them crazy and gives us strength. Play on familiar spirits. Thank you for the knowledge and wisdom. I’ve said what I said and take my leave of you.
