================================================ Subject: Re: [ Creed Discuss ] VA Beach Concert From: "Nanci" To: "The New Improved Less Lame List" Date: Sat 13 Jul 2002 21:59:34 -0400 ================================================ I know what your saying about the shallow part as you say your entitled too, but do you mean the lyrics, the music sound, what? I only ask cuz when I listen to the cd's I can't feel a big diff. in the quality of the music? And me being me that's what would turn me off most is when I listen and can tell a cheap, artificial sound is being passed off. Nanci BTW (not trying to start any "list" catfights) I've read plenty, only interesting conversation. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sandy Carter" To: "The New Improved Less Lame List" Sent: Saturday, July 13, 2002 9:47 PM Subject: Re: [ Creed Discuss ] VA Beach Concert > I don't have a problem with you liking the lyrics, Nanci.
