GD had absolutely nothing to do with the Seattle movement, which was nearly dead at that point, anyway.

Yes, it was dead. Kinda my point...after Nirvana, take another 'weird power pop/punk trio and push it' - you don't have to see the parallells; I do.
Candlebox wasn't pushed as part of the 'grunge/Seattle scene' either, but experienced huge commericial success in the 'post-grunge era', if that makes sense to you.

And if Rob wanted to produce your band (which would never happen, anyway), you'd be fool to pass up that kind of opportunity.

you disregarding me because of my age and location would be a mistake on your end, Mr. McCloud.
I've been fully immersed in music all my life. No, I don't have all the experience and stories about rock stars that you have...but that doesn't mean that you should completely disregard me.
Yeah we're obviously not commercial enough or 'cute' enough for Rob Cavallo. Don't have the right sound. Probably 'too raw' - maybe don't even play good enough. Surely don't write good enough songs.
What do you think, Mr. McCloud?? Is it even worthwhile, ir should some dumb young **** from the middle of MO hang up my spurs and get a job at the chicken farm??
