Why should it be any different than the makeup of an audience at a Stevie Nicks concert? Take away those three groups and the Big Boned Gals, and she is playing at 500 seat clubs full of burned out hippies.

What do you think members of the band who read the board think? And we know that more that one of them does read it.

I know this was directed at Jazzy, and not me, but I cannot help myself.

I bet they'd be impressed by the knowledge of their history, careful analysis of their music, and the obsessive over the top devotion their art has inspired.
I bet they'd be stunned people cared that much.
That is if they read the artist threads exclusively. Since they are fairly worldly people, the bickering and political sniping, and god knows the SEX would hardly shock them. I am sure their antics make it all look like child's play. For God's sake, I never bent someone over a car and slapped the **** of them in here. Though God knows I have thought about it. More than ever the last few months.

As for the chit chat and parts of the Stevie thread, well, what do you want from a bunch of depraved homos and their fat girl cronies? We've got to go somewhere to talk about our taste in booze and our favorite expensive hotels.

I am one of the most socially liberal people I know. I don't care what people sexual orientation is. I don't mind the occasional mention.

ok, I find that pretty homophobic. And isn't that against the ledge rules?!
What IS your problem, honestly!

(if you don't get why this is homophobic: nothing against homos as long as they don't mention it.. hello closet!)

I'm sorry if you missed the point of my post. I wasn't asking anyone to stay in the closet. When I was asked to become a mod along with the others, it was suggested that the Ledge needed to be cleaned up partly because of language of a sexual nature. Just because a straight person mentions the word homosexual, bisexual, fag hag, etc. does not make them homophobic.

I think many people have left here or been relectant to come here or back here because they viewed this place as too sexually graphic in nature. I know of at least three who commented to me about it.

In the end, I suppose the Chit Chat board can be whatever it wants to be. But, I see people disrespecting the rules all of the time by openly typing curse words, etc. That, to me, in unnecessary and it too much of an in your face mentality. I try not to do that and it is not an onerous deed to say the least.

I think the real problem is, though, that there is little FM related items to discuss these days and the conversation in the FM areas turns to unrelated topics. Many people who try to avoid those non FM topics are then suddenly confronted with them when trying to get info. on FM, etc. That is not really fair I guess. I am just as "guilty" of this as anyone else.

And me! I'm neither gay, bi-sexual, a fag hag, a big boned gal or a burned out hippie.

So, according to Chris' standards, I should really find another forum to post.

Socially liberal, my ass.

Christ on a cracker. This place just sucks lately.

Keep it real all you fools, breeders, homos, bitchers, losers, whiners, winners, ledgies...

Tonight we must hear (or endure) 3 songs from our Top 3.

1) Contestant picks a song
2) Judges pick the song
3) Clive Davis picks a song

Should be interesting. Clive Davis is cool and a top record excutive, so hopefully he has been watching and assigns some good tunes for the contestants. The Judges are idiots, so we'll see what they pick for each one.

See you later for results comments. I may be tipsy as friends are coming over to watch...
