I thought the same thing Lil.. I was upset to hear an inference towards race.. I get tired of things ending up like that.. gender, race, sexual preference.. how about - you just aren't right for our band and leave it at that? Dunno...

I also agree about J.D. I think he will be gone soon.. I have a feeling that the guys are seeing through his kiss ass stuff - he isn't genuine to me at all. I haven't heard about any contractual obligations - I would think if bands didn't want them (not sure why they wouldn't) that who is left will be able to strike out on their own in some way.
