This has not been a good day in the lounge for me

I've got 33 posts in this thread by different people saying the same damn thing. "Your music sucks," basically. It's been on the front page since 3:45 am eastern.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=8793851&mesg_id=8793851

No one picked up on the joke in my original post in this one. It spent most of the day on the front page.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x8793847

I've had two replies to these two threads and I've kicked them back on the front page from page two. They currently reside on page two again.

4. And one other thing. I read your stories from the road threads

but I don't comment all that much. I'm sorry. I should. I do the same thing to R_L regarding his poem threads.

I should be more sensitive and comment. My apologies.

7. That's okay

Actually, the CCR thread pisses me off the most. I can always try to kickstart my dying threads, but I can't make a bad thread go away.....unless I hide it. There's an idea. Thanks for reading my stuff.

13. You posted a thread to complain about the responses to your threads?

Which, incidentally, were not nearly as bad as you make them out to be. Hell, if I got 33 responses to any of my posts, I'd be deleriously happy, even if they all said, "You're an asshole."

Lighten up. Don't take it personally. Because it's not personal, you know. As far as the Creedence thread goes, most of those people were agreeing that Creedence was a great band - there were only a couple of people who commented that Creedence without Fogarty was not the same. Which is a valid point.

15. Yes I am

And it is very easy to create a thread where 33 people will call you an asshole. I can show you how if you really don't know. You will be deleriously happy for the rest of your time on DU. I'm trying to make the point that people take inconsequential things too seriously sometimes and don't pay any attention to a post that might actually have something to say.

Surely that has to be against DU rules?

29. Some of us were making fun of his love of the Cowboys.

But, I took it out because I didn't realize how offended he was.

It's the 44-6 reference.

17. you've got it all wrong.

it's just that (as you may have heard before) Opinions Are Like Assholes.
Everybody's got one and they all stink.

nahh... i don't really feel that way, it just came to mind and i couldn't resist... which is the way most people seem to post. ;)

for what it's worth> I love CCRevival and I've never heard of CCRevisited. I imagine it stinks.

18. I don't see 33 cuts about your music...

There are a few, which occur on just about any music thread, but most of them say they like CCR.

It's interesting to me that most DUers will say, "I don't care for (a certain kind of food)" rather than "(certain kind of food) sucks"....though I have heard "Beer tastes like piss" on numerous occasions.

But why do we put down people's musical tastes? I'll never understand it.

21. What I know about Tobin S.--nothin'

What I know about Droopy--he's a great guy who can write his ass off, has a heart as big as the outdoors, has had his share of problems & is working on them, lost a ton of weight & is well loved here.
My point being I saw your post under Tobin S & said who the fuck is this guy & read your profile. And then said Oh, OK it's the new improved Droopy. We just have to get to know who you are. So...Welcome to DU!

But that's just me....:smoke:

Why did you spend so much time here when you are supposd to be learning your "F" chord?
That guitar won't play itself, you know....

23. Oh, I know the F chord, C chord, D, G, E, A, power chords, bar chords

I know two blues scales and I have a book with a bunch more scales. I can play basic blues patterns, Fade to Black, Back in Black, Stairway to Heaven, and I can figure out the basic rhythm part of just about any song that is comprised of power chords- actually keeping time is a different matter, though.

I'm looking forward to getting to know a guitar teacher. I'm just going to tell her/him to treat me like a beginner because I've probably picked up a lot of bad habits.

28. I did that, but I have a low attention span, and stopped the lessons after a few weeks.

I have often wished I had continued, but the chance is long over - I still try to pick things up online from various sources.

I am glad you obviously enjoy playing so much - it has been a great pleasure to me for many years.

and the name change which I just realized yesterday, throws some people off who don't realize you're someone they've known all along.

hang in there.

26. People will always disagree about music.

For some reason, a lot of them can't be civil about it.
