All,
Let's use the anology of the growth of a child. An entity is created. You
nurture it, adore it, support it. It grows, expands, develops and
ultimately finds it's place in the universe. Whether "you" agree with it's
place is inconsequential. It CAN educate others to the beauty of it's and
"Others" existence. That's what matters. That it can spark creativity &
growth. Back on planet Earth,........as proven so many times in the past
Underground and Mainstream is differentiated only by someone's marketing
scheme. Let the music be. Pick what you consider quality and turn the
volume up.

peace,
R. Scott/West Coast Harem
