Have to break up my message into two parts due to the 250-line limitation, sheesh! Anyway, here's the write-up:

"With 20 million records sold in just five years, Florida natives Creed have proven that people still want to be won over by good, old fashioned hard rock. And Creed is irony-free - their success totally literal, fully intended and obvious - in the fact that they're a bunch of wholesome Southerners who simply won the hearts of America. Why else are they number one? Well, as lead singer Scott Stapp puts it: "Mark's music is my voice to people who can't read, for people who don't understand the words." And everyone knows that America is full of those."

 

Well, don't look at me for that snide remark..I'm just the messenger!
