================================================ Subject: Re: Jim was Right just out of date From: "Creed - 7M3 - Live" To: Date: Tue 14 Aug 2001 14:16:59 -0400 ================================================ Changing the issue to statements that you have made, in the past. A lister posted, regarding the great things that the WAWOF was doing, for families. You posted back, regarding the tattoo parlor and the VIP dance floor incident. Also, you posted, in regard to Creed's talents. There were no substantiating comments, regarding comparisons of copying PJ's music style. Jim King_Dovregubben wrote: > Um... no he wasn't.
