i'm not gonna hold that against them, tho. they were opportunities to make more $$$, yes, but they were also opportunities to play to more fans. besides-3 out of 4 members have kids and they want their families to be taken care of when they're gone. playing extra shows for $$$ isn't an awful thing-they get paid fro each show they play, anyways. what would be awful is if , for example, a girl in a wheelchair asked them to play her birthday party and they said 'we don't get out of bed for less than $10,000 a day.' THAT would be someting i held against them. -- Refugee Forum for displaced Been Insaner's

In reply to: Ian 's message, "He must be worth a major amount of dough. On the recent 'Dutch Connection' documentary he admits that on the recent European tour they were quite greedy, succumbing to demands to do a few more gigs for an extra million dollars each. Nice work if you can get it. It explains why they were burnt out at the end of the tour though." on 03:53:18 11/29/07 Thu
