      <![CDATA[Yeah! What Bo said.<br />
Trying to help bands is thankless enough and in most of our cases a free venture because we value the scene enough to help it, and we know bands are not making enough as it is.<br />
So, we work day jobs - go and help out at night - occasionally get a thank you and in many cases are given crap because it is somehow not the "right" band to be helping.<br />
Honestly, a little bit of perspective needs to be applied here.<br />
The amount of shit Ethan has been given for MN is pretty obnoxious - considering his work was pretty much voluntary and out of sincerity.

      <![CDATA[Look, as a national reporter I can tell you. You use the word "Nashville" in a story headline about rock, pop, jazz, whistling, or banging pots, and editors will change it or push it towards "and not what you think" so the article's not skipped by those who will read about every kind of music except country.

      <![CDATA["Suicide Blonde"<br />
Suicide blonde, suicide blonde<br />
Suicide blonde, suicide blonde<br />
Suicide blonde was the colour of her hair<br />
Like a cheap distraction<br />
For a new affair<br />
She knew it would finish<br />
Before it began<br />
Something tells me you lost the plan<br />
You want to make her<br />
Suicide Blonde<br />
Love devastation<br />
Suicide Blonde<br />
You want to make her<br />
Suicide Blonde<br />
Love devastation<br />
Suicide Blonde<br />
She stripped to the beat<br />
But her clothes stay on<br />
White light everywhere<br />
But you can't see a thing<br />
Such a squeeze<br />
A mad, sad moment<br />
Glory to you, glory to you, take me there<br />
Got some revelation put into your hands<br />
Save you from your misery<br />
Like rain across the land<br />
Don't you see<br />
The colour of deception<br />
Turning your world around again<br />
You want to make her<br />
Suicide Blonde<br />
Love devastation<br />
Suicide Blonde<br />
You want to make her<br />
Suicide Blonde<br />
Love devastation<br />
