I've said this before...maybe on my drum that others find different...what does it matter what others believe or say about Haley if you like her? The human condition seems to need to be reinforced about our likes by others. We show people what we like and look for their approval, we get some gratification/satisfaction that we are "ok" or somewhat "normal". We know what we have heard and we love it...in the end, if others come around to praise our affection...well, that's ok, but it doesn't validate our original choice to love her music. Time has a way of clarifying what is excellent, and sometimes the world never comes on board with what is truly great. Sometimes only a handful of people really appreciate what is significant and the masses miss it completely...wow, that's a big soap box Buzz...just made it in my garage (Do you like it?
)
And, speaking of well said!
