[size=3]"The talented artist or musician, the intellectual, the person of deep philosophical or spiritual thought of whatever age, must somehow be freed of the grind of daily life to pursue activities of a higher order. I am not going to even begin to suggest how this could be done, only why. It may be completely politically incorrect to suggest it, but these people must somehow simply be allowed to follow their hearts. If we do not find a way to make this so, then the loss to the world of the fruits of unusual mind is the price we all pay.[/size]"

The guillotine would actually suit the stated requirements in the first sentence better.

And just for the record, a guy who states several times that he's internet illiterate does so on his own website?

I think that one glance at said website is sufficient to prove that point.

Remember this guy's original Gumtree ad? The one excluding "the Markbass generation"?

Well, he's back, and this time with no mention of Markbass.

http://www.gumtree.com/p/community/bass-player-wanted-for-gigging-rythm-blues-rock-band/108596775

How totally unremarkable.

Except that, on the same day, he also posted this:

Hmmmmmm.

Can't be too promising if even he won't do it

[noelk27]

Isn't this how credit default swaps work?

[tauzero]

So he's sacking the current bassist by giving him another band to go to?

[size="2"]Sooo... he needs a clone of himself to play in his own band then..?[/size]

[/quote]

I think he might now be the guitarist. So maybe he's sacked himself, or perhaps he's uneasy about the band dynamics and he's looking for another band before he sacks himself.

Alternatively, he's worked out he's working with idiots
