I don’t care one way or the other, but does this mean that I am free to create as many other accounts as pleases me? I’m not going to do it, because I don’t care, and that would be a lot of work. However, policing and killing all those other accounts would create one hell of a lot of work for the unpaid moderators on this small corner of the internet. If holding multiple accounts is not against the forum rules, it should be. If only for the sake of the people who care enough to police it. Because creating multiple accounts is a sign of scorn and arrogance. there is no reason to do it other than to sow disruption. Edit: In fact, “11) Multiple accounts: One account per person. Posting under multiple identities is cause for immediate expulsion. (Added 12/30/2010)” Source: The Rules. Look at the header, click “rules”. Although the qualifier at the bottom states that “punishment will be meted out on a case by case basis”, this particular rule carries with it a specific penalty. |

Much of his work would fit the (admittedly vague) intent of the original post. I picked “Pancho and Lefty” because it is his best known song, but I could very well have chosen “Flyin’ Shoes”, “Tecumseh Valley”, “Waitin’ Around to Die”... lots of them. |

Good question. I'm going to make an exception in this case. I don't want to state why publicly, but you can PM me if you're truly interested. Meanwhile, file it under that qualifier you mention. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

That he couldn't stop smoking long enough to play a song on his guitar probably didn't help. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

“Live at The Old Quarter” is great. Recorded in ‘73, before his descent into self destruction robbed him of his talent. |

Naw, I don’t really care that much about meta stuff. If it’s okay with you, it’s okay with me. |

Some performers go on stage while high on heroin and its never even suspected. Then there was that youtube ad where a girl was thought to be totally stoned at the time and her performance wound up getting her a trip to France and a movie role. |
