Roger the Man

Cowardice must be defined in an pseudo-alternate paradigm as bravery adorned with a plastic mask.

Now I wasn't going to write up anything today 'cos I am really, REALLY busy getting stuff together for a concert we are doing called 'Whiplash' along with our brethren from Maldives; the amazing Serenity Dies... We performed with them in 2006 at Rock Storm a mega-festival in Maldives. So everyone's superpsyched for the gig - I know we are - and so the sponsor hunting has begun. I got the venue and the electronic media sponsors confirmed in the last few days so things are as they say 'Ebbing and Flowing' rather nicely.

I don't know why this is, but I enjoy writing my soul and mind out not just with my lyrics, poetry and on my novel but this blog is a gateway of expression: which is subjective and a personal glimpse through my dark windowpane. I've said a gazzillion times before that it isn't for everybody and it certainly isn't for the glam pussies of the 80's (if you catch my power drift)... but alas people read many of our posts then comment whether it's justifiable or not, whether it's right or wrong...
I don't leave comments trailing after your posts - 'cos I comprehend that it's a personalized journal for many and we are all entitled to our own opinions like we are entitled to our own experiences.

This was a comment on my last Shotgun Blues post...

However this brilliantly opinionated individual should have (despite his genius) figured out that all comments are personally forwarded by the blog administration to the writer's perosnal mail with all the so called Alias AND the Email of the sender... This is copied and pasted from my personal gmail account:

Kid, all you can talk about is how shit life is and how everyone else sucks. a word of advice, let others do whatever they want, because i dont think they are bitching you for only liking rock music. This world is a beautiful because its diverse filled with diverse people with different likes and dislikes - Wars start when people start thinking like YOU.. trust me, if everyone listened to rock music it wont be half as cool.
its strange, because all this time i though rock music promoted non-prejudice positive thoughts. you seriously have to look to your musical roots.and kid, drugs have been part of rock music since hendrix, morrison, floyde to the modern day rock musician. If you are an anti drug rocker- be like that. i dont think anyone will want to chug a pill or a stamp down your throat.and for gods sakes... lighten up! live your life the best you can, im sure there are millions of people who are worse off than you.
Peace, love and Acid

Somehow I fail to see how such a liberated, hard core, self professed Rocker who endorses non-prejudice positive thoughts (a reference to Poison & Edguy no doubt), being an old friend has used an Alias called 'Roger' and slammed a buddy's post?

The very essence of Rock 'n Roll is being who you are, and not endorsing
feigned grace and love for the craft... Clearly my post has bothered you enough so you'd go through the trouble to leave a nasty little comment with a fake moniker.

And you've got some nerve callin' me KID - considering we are the same age. If wars do start 'cos the truth peels the nail polish off your fingers... Stay in hiding... Or are you so tripped out on Peace, Love and Acid that you don't even have the balls to say what you need to with your real name?

You're right - there must be millions of people worst of than me...

Meaning it's a reflection of your insecurities and secret little apathy.

But it must be in your nature to meet me face to face, act as normal as you can and then go about doing shit like this. Boy... You're a PAL Roger. A REAL cardboard Hero.

I rest my case ROGER
