  • I always liked the band Jellyfish.

    I just took a gander over to Wikipedia to learn why they broke up. It was there where I read one of the best break up write ups ever:

    “During the tour for Spilt Milk, Sturmer and Manning grew increasingly distant as friends. On their return home, the two songwriters independently wrote material for a third album, provisionally titled Nausea Trois. By then, they were drifting apart musically. Manning remembered that, prior, they would bond over albums such as Paul McCartney’s Ram or the Zombies’ Odessey and Oracle; however, “it was clear that none of that was happening anymore.” He said that he was “rediscovering my love of […] high-energy, fun melodic pop with attitude. And Andy was Leonard Cohen. That was it.” When Sturmer presented him a country ballad song, he accordingly “left in tears because I had zero interest in recording it.” Sturmer felt that Manning had outgrown the partnership, and for his part, was fearful that Manning’s new songs would likely inspire journalists to persistently compare the band to Alice Cooper.”

    Really paints a picture!

    They were a good band while it lasted.

    Also…In 2004 or 2005, Coachella organizers invited Manning to reunite Jellyfish for a one-off performance at the festival. Manning advised the organizers to consult Sturmer first. Sturmer, through his lawyer, responded he would not accept the offer regardless of any amount of money involved.

    Woah!!






  • I think Reddit will die a slow and painful death. I was a mid to average Redditor (I occasionally posted content and consistently engaged with posts), and I have no interest in being over there anymore for many reasons. I migrated over here and am currently living in a tent, waiting for my permanent “Boost” house to be built. I like what I see here so far and am looking to develop a different experience. I don’t need to see people getting eaten by sharks anymore. I plan on reading more books and being online significantly less. I’m seeking quality, not quantity. I’m done with sensory overload.
