================================================ Subject: Re: [ Creed Discuss ] Access Hollywood From: "* Kate *" To: Date: Sun 27 Oct 2002 02:57:43 -0500 ================================================ Let me ask you this-did you take the comments about his sister seriously, or did you feel it was an inappropriate attempt at humor? I know you don't have any love for Stapp and you're entitled to your opinion, blah blah blah, but I was surprised to see you jump on that. Personally I thought it was just sibling humor. -Kate >From: "Joe Earles" >Reply-To: The New Improved Less Lame List >To: "The New Improved Less Lame List" >Subject: Re: [ Creed Discuss ] Access Hollywood >Date: Sun, 27 Oct 2002 01:52:04 -0500 > >Okay, let me lay a few things to rest right here and now: > >My overall opinion of Creed: >I think that Creed is one of the best things to ever grace the face of rock >music.
