Aww, come on ! The discussion about aj going mainstream and some people
on the list finding it irritating is definitely not about being snobby
but about us fearing it might lower the quality of the average aj-tune !
Who gives a damn what people look like when they play good music ? I
wouldn't mind if all aj musicians were midgets (no offense to any
midgets out there !), so here I agree with you 100%.
