Over the last few days I have seen people and companies that I support go down the drain...Well if anyone has seen the new MRR (Maximum Rock and Roll) you get my drift..Everyone is acting like spoiled schooling children yelling and screaming at one another..

Lookout records being the prime child. Furious George is a great band... but, this really was not about whether or not they were a great band or they sounded good at all. It was all about who liked who and who was friends with whom. Larry Livermore as far as I am concerned has sealed his own fate..

Furious George was scheduled to put out a full length LP.. scheduled by none other than Mr. Lookout himself, Larry. Lookout strung along Furious George until well finally Lookout changed their minds...why? Well, it's probably something as immature as George Tabb (furious lead honcho) writes for MRR and well Larry has some silly dislike for (MRR).

This all sounds like some sick soap opera, right? I've realized that to some people its not about the music anymore. It's about childish dislikes and who has more pull than who. Larry Livermore has turned Punk Rock into some sort of Sony Enterprises Corporate Venture.

If you hold to the belief, that Mr. Tabb is just being a baby, because his band didn't get signed...Blah Blah Blah. I feel sorry for you because you are probably the same person who liked Green Day and when Green Day was not Kewl any more You traded in all your CD's.

I'm, sorry but in life when you have worked so hard for something, for over 15 years, and you get screwed by the best of them you deserve your own Violin.

So I suggest that you run out and buy the "Furious George" Goes Ape E.p. ...because no matter what Larry Livermore thinks and all his followers, Its Damn Good and Catchy too...

Just in case anyone cares, this is my post from the AOL Alternative Board:

Why has everyone reduced themselves to screaming children? It feels as if we are all in High School all over again. There was a day when we were all in for the music but, somewhere down the line we all have lost sight of these things....and well, it has turned into personal problems with one another...who so and so distributes through and where such and such is sold. The REAL problem boils down to the people who are running these two companies and their personal problems with one another...Until they grow up and set an example for all those kids who look up to them ...I'm sorry to say that the war that we started off to fight has been lost.

In my opinion (this being my very own opinion) MRR I'm sure never once said "Mr. Tabb I'm sorry but I don't want you to work with Lookout anymore concerning your bands LP because, I don't like Larry."

The only thing is I wish I could say the same for Lookout.
