The Young Idea

May 27, 2003 12:47

So, TYI is no more... Part of me is really sad, but I saw it coming for a while. Maybe it was for the best. I'm sure I'll have a new band within the next few months, but I'll really miss those songs. However the most common critisim of the band that I heard was that we were "fake" or "contrived". I knew it was bullshit, I can honestly say that I ( Read more... )

don't be sorry. it sounds like you did the right thing. keep me posted about your future stuff dude.

If the rock ain't sincere, then the rock ain't got no value. I admire you for fitting into that rare category of people that knows to quit when they're ahead. The Young Idea is now in the same company as Seinfeld and Calvin and Hobbes, and that's some pretty good company to be in. Glad I got to see you guys play and even play a show or two with you.

I'm sure whatever you do next will be awesome as well, just don't take too long to get into it; talent like yours is a terrible thing to waste. Keep ya chin up dude.

Hey man, so sorry to hear it. I never got to see you guys in action. Mom said that you have some tees? I would definitely like to grab one of those, Rob too probably. Hang in there.

on one side im bummed to see the young idea go. but on the other side im excited to see what you guys do next. i think im leaning more towards the excited part. i always think about what the band after go mordecai (for me) will be like. not that i dont like being in go mordecai but we do have a death day so i guess its easy to do that. oh well. i hope you continue the rock, i know you will. and i know the next band will be leaps and bounds better than TYI.

bob-
do not fret, the bands that you have been in have progressivly been better and better and i hope that your next venture keeps with the pattern. the young idea will be very missed and there will always be a place in my heart and my cd player for you guys. i just wish that i could have heard your new stuff.
love
