================================================ Subject: Re: [ Creed Discuss ] VA Beach Concert From: "Sandy Carter" To: "The New Improved Less Lame List" Date: Sat 13 Jul 2002 20:47:01 -0500 ================================================ I don't have a problem with you liking the lyrics, Nanci. I'm glad that you enjoy. Personally, I think for the most part, the CD Weathered is more shallow than their previous work, that's all. I'm not sure if it's due to the change in lifestyle that comes with celebrity, or if they are trying to sell CD's. Just my thoughts.
