Why I sent the email...

There are several things that led up to this email. The biggest was the random notes I received telling me how bad the website was, and asking when I was going to fix it, when was I going to add content, or (and this is my favorite) why did I let it go so bad....

 The other reasons were I saw a band that was turning into it's all about ME and oh yeah those guys are just here, but really it's all about ME.  Scheduling conflicts with the brother band being blown entirely out of proportion, demanding that LMB be the absolute first priority. Dropping songs from the setlists without discussion, and when asked about it, being told ITS MY BAND, ITS MY GEAR, ITS MY DECISION.  Curtailing any growth of the band by refusing to book clubs outside of the singers comfort zone.  If it was somewhere that her posse wouldn't travel it wasn't an option.  I noticed at more than one show, that she put forth almost no effort with her performance until her friends starting showing up, which only cemented in my opinion that it was the [Singer] show and not really about the band.

 The final straw for me, was being told of a gig where she showed up with LMB T-shirts, and tried to make the band members wear them.  I don't know what was on the shirt, besides HER FACE.. but remember what I said about..  it's all about ME?!  Someone was on a power trip and I wanted nothing to do with it anymore.  I felt that it was time my work was removed from that joke of a website because I felt, and still feel that its presence on the website was only a black mark against my professional reputation.
