Rockpage is what it is, folks. Some guys we all happen to like made a website for us to BS on, and let's face it, very few of you are noobs. You all know that people post political stuff, and that people react to it. BIG DEAL!!! I react to posts based on my belief that the New Media is dangerous and bad for America, and others vehemently disagree, but I can guarantee one thing: My foils on Rockpage are good people, and I would and have defended them when the chips were down. Ucjoe is a salt-of-the-earth guy, and has EXCELLENT musical tastes, if he says to go see a band, you really should. ToonaRockGuy and RobTheDrummer disagree with my politics, but I'd play in a band with either of them in a New York minute, they're good guys to have around in a pinch, and excellent players. Lonewolf is whip-smart, and has experience most local guys wish they had. Frank, I don't know you well on a personal level, but we occasionally agree, especially on music. Rockpage is what it is, and it's WORLDS better than the junior-high kids who post on that Harrisburg forum, or any other local music forum I've ever seen.
Seriously, if you think Rockpage has it's problems, go find another local music website that allows musicians to post freely. Good luck finding one, and good luck finding a better one.--->JMS
Bravo.
