Here's what you said:
"Journey's music is about Love, Faith, Commitment, Heartache, overcoming obstacles and bettering yourself. How can you convey those 'emotions' musically, when you can't do it in real life? It's my contention that you can't and as a music listener, I find it hard to feel what Neal is doing, is genuine, because he doesn't really know what Love and Commitment really is.
When someone has one or even two divorces, it's not so clear that the person is incapable of maintaining a faith/commitment based relationship. When someone has 5 divorces/failed mariages, it's extremely clear that he/she has a significant problem with respect to faith/commitment/love. Sorry. thats the way I see it.
Would you go to a dentist who has rotting teeth? Or see an addiction counselor that needs to snort a line of cocaine to get through the day? Would you hire a personal trainer that looks like a fat slob? So why would you listen to music to hear emotion from a player who has none? That's the issue for me. When I finally realized that Neal Schon didn't have love and faith, it became clear to me that when he conveyed such things with his music, he was a fraud."
Did I really "grossly" misrepresent you?
and threw a rather nasty insult behind the guise of said misrepresentation.
What? Put aside your copy of Arrival and go to church? Well...this hardly ranks up there with "fuck off and die" and "complete and utter asshole" does it? And if your faith is strong who gives a shit what some guy who you've never met and who lives on the other side of the world has to say about it?
I will ask you kindly, to refrain from posting in response to anything I say here or elsewhere. Thats all I'm going to say. Walk away, go back to whatever it is you do in your real life....and ignore the urge to respond to anything that I say or elsewhere. You were warned...
I'll comment on your posts whenever I feel like it. If you post opinions on a public forum then you have to expect that people will probably take issue with you now and again. The only reason why I might decide not to respond to anything you have to say is that you clearly have a screw loose and it's just too draining trying to get any kind of rational conversation going with you.
Let it go!!!
