================================================ Subject: Re: I Hate When People Bash Creed! From: "Len v.d. Westhuizen" To: Date: Mon 10 Jun 2002 17:08:04 +0200 ================================================ Hi Jen Welcome to the list. I'm a bit late in replying to you but what you said made me think of something. A few months ago I took my ex-girfriend and my now 22 month old daughter to the beach, I was in a really good mood, it was a lovely day etc. and were playing some Creed in my car, specially placing the tape in position so that "With Arms Wide Open" would play while my ex was in the car, 'cause you know I thought it would be one of the songs that would appeal to people who don't know them, but my ex was in a very bad mood and was bitching about something else and then suddenly let rip: "...and WHATS that load of SH@% music you're playing..." Gosh, I took her nonsense up to that point, but when she said that I totally blew my top! I guess that just shows how fast people sometimes are to critisize music they know nothing about. Its just one of those things I guess. She has since changed her mind about Creed though ...

I have been to so many message boards and they treat me like crap so I am just hoping that you guy are different. I have been a fan since"Higher" and love everything about Creed. I think they are absolutely amazing people and musicians. But it bugs me when people bash a band who is trying to do some good in this world. In my mind I think if those people would just take some time to listen to what these guys are trying to say to people they would also be amazed. But no!!!! That can't happen can it! We have to have our usual narrow minded people with their heads to far stuck up there (put cuss word here) to even take the time to listen to these amazing people. There is so much bad crap out there and we have artists like eminem to thank for that. All he does is talk about killing his wife and how much hatred is in his heart towards people. Like Creed says, "Violent sons make bitter mothers. " And I wonder why eminem's Mom hates him so much! Creed has kept me going, and given me the ability to stand up for what I believe in. Without them I don't know where I would be. They have brought me to a place of new heights and given me a different out look on life as well. They have made me better and I believe that they have the ability to change others if people would listen to what they have to say. ( I feel like the song "One" right now.) I believe musicians have the power to change the world. And Creed is doing it. One person at a time.
