================================================ Subject: Re: 'My Sacrifice' Inspiration .. contradiction From: "Creed - 7M3 - Live" To: Date: Sat 13 Oct 2001 20:09:48 -0400 ================================================ Great reply Jess, I guess the top 40 stations have always turned me off. But acceptance to them is not a bad thing itself. I listen to non-mainstream radio stations. And have not heard the song played yet. I wasn't about to listen to the top 40 stations to hear it. That is if they play it. Thanks for your comments.
