It IS Paris, it IS France.
The good news is that they are claiming the cathedral is still structurally sound, the two towers have been saved, and that they will rebuild.
Woah, the photos of that fire are wild. Sheesh.

I haven't really figured it out yet. I think it comes from the general frustration that so many people have wasted so many other people's time out here, so I do get a lot of personal attacks against me. Some of it is downright vicious.
One thing that I do run across is this puffery: "Oh, I have this band and we are working hard on our own project." You look them up and you see they have a few posts about a song "coming soon." These posts are 2 years old and then there is nothing at all.
IDK, I do my best to undersell myself. I don't want to give off the impression that I'm guaranteeing a bunch of shows and not be able to deliver on that promise. I have "ins," but I don't want to talk about it. Either you like my stuff or you don't. So many people have this long list of so-called connections, and really, what's it worth if you know the producer of some name act and they aren't using your voice?
Then again, maybe people just don't like my music. Hell, I've struggled to pay singers, which probably says all that needs to be said (that's a whole other can of worms I won't get into).
