Bandsters: U will NOT believe I'm posting this!
Everyone here knows how I feel about the band. Well I do try to be fair. Not everyone agrees with me, just as not everyone agrees with you. We all have different opinions and ALL opinions should be heard.
So in fairness I posted an article about the ASMBS on my blog that shows a more possitive opinion of the band. I don't agree with the poll, but as I have said on numerious occasions........ALL points of view should be heard!

Actually I can believe you posted that. It's a poll of opinions. It is what it is.
Thanks for sharing those stats with the world.
