================================================ Subject: Creed's influence and new bands From: "deb" To: Date: Thu 30 May 2002 05:08:28 -0500 ================================================ I think it is so cool that Creed's work touches people so deeply and on so many levels. The band members write about what's on their heart and collectively put together some great work. Good luck with your band to both of you! From my point of view as an artist (even though my genre isn't music), I want to share with you that sometimes it works better if you just create and not think about satisfying anyone but yourself. I know that sounds selfish. But believe me, that way it comes from your heart and somehow becomes more alive.
