commentary on reviews

This post is dedicated to all of the faux fans and pseudo critics who have CAST THE FIRST STONE, and who have proven themselves to be utterly lacking in COMPASSION. The fact that they even refer to themselves as fans exposes as them as the fickle LIARS they really are. These tiresome, negative,and rambling postings have REALLY LEFT ME SORE,and HURTING FOR YOU people who seem so tragically stuck in the PAST,or in some kind of TIME WARP. SOMETIMES I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO FEEL when I read these rants. The TRUTH is that Todd is not some kind of mystical demigod who exists solely for the purpose of entertaining you. He is A WIZARD A TRUE STAR;not some court jester whose purpose is to distract you from the pitiful little lives you must be LIVING. Todd is a REAL MAN for God's sake;he's ONLY HUMAN. ITS NOT THAT EASY standing on stage ALONE and BLEEDING. Could you do it? What kind of contribution have you made to the world? Must we,the FAITHFUL, remind you that Todd is someone who STANDS FOR SOMETHING and is a total INDIVIDUALIST? THERE ARE NO WORDS to describe the impact this mans music has made on my life. Sadly, I know that all of my USELESS BEGGING will not stop you assholes in your ragingly hostile DETERMINATION to tear this man apart; in spite of all the SWEETER MEMORIES he has given us over the years. I can't help WONDERING if all of you have just been PRETENDING TO CARE. Where is your KINDNESS and your COMPASSION? So the man has a flaw or two; so what??? You all have become so utterly BLACK AND WHITE in your regard to this man. It is truly revolting to me and to the rest of us who possess an ETERNAL LOVE for this artist who has gifted us over and over again with every new album and every live perfomance. But IF THATS THE WAY YOU FEEL, then there is not much more to say. I can picture a FUTURE where the final RESOLUTION is going to be THE VERY LAST TIME we get to see him perform live again, and i'll be forced to ask you,WHO'S SORRY NOW? FAIR WARNING, we all know that THE LAST RIDE is inevitable; Todd will eventually retreat to his HIDEWAY and in time, will FADE AWAY. LIFE GOES ON, but A DREAM GOES ON FOREVER,extending far into the AFTERLIFE. I hope that this tour is not THE FINALE. I HOPE I'M AROUND for the much hoped for Utopia reunion next year. I WILL WAIT for however long it takes. And IN THE END, one final thought for all of you ingrates who have been so inconsiderate, so cruel, and so utterly judgemental in your online temper tantrums: GET OVER YOURSELF
