Most of your peers are narrow-minded trend followers. This is just the way people are. The fact that you can b

I too am a Next Wave convert and I must say I wish I had been turned on to it sooner. Like many I was recently (for the last several years) only listening to old stuff because the new stuff I heard wast shit. Then someone said wait listen to this...and

You are right.

Thanks.
