You are a very interesting human being, Anthony - I'm so glad stumbled on your web site. I had no idea there were recordings of Sylvia Plath around to listen to - you put me in 7th heaven with that. And that "converted" dude, the homophobic guitarist? Dang, I like the melody, I like the sound of his voice, but his message, Jesus Mother! It's like those people get off on their new religiion and have to tell everyone about it - problem is, they never get over that stage and will do negative things to people to try and force them. Crazy!

You are all right, Anthony. Sounds like you hit a rough patch recently, but don't worry, sweet, things are gonna get better. Xtina
