I have been receiving emails of posts and I have seen alot of different points of view. I received Jeanne’s last post today after work and I agree that this is getting nowhere. Not all people are going to agree. I do however, have something that I would like to say. I am not going to get personal but want to say that I always got along with Claudia but with all of the problems that I feel were her mistakes and alot of mistakes from Harmony…then, the magazine, well, IMO, I believe that if Claudia comes clean on some of the issues and I know she has admitted some of the problems but, just apologize then so many that got burned would at least not feel so compromised. I certainly don’t want to see someone crash and burn. Emotionally, there are consequences to having done wrong things and sometimes it can destroy a person and I don’t think anyone wants to see her destroyed. I don’t. Also, Bluzkat had a harmonica jam for kids and I went to take a look at the video. I think what she did was successful. I know that the biggest beef anyone has had with her is the whispering. I think if Bluzkat would just bite the bullet and not be so snarky…then, she would be accepted more. I don’t want to see her crash and burn either. I feel that everyone should have a second chance. Even though she and I have not gotten along…I don’t doubt that she is doing a good job to the best of her ability. I would do things differently on both accounts but we are all not alike, as stated above. I just don’t want to see anyone get emotionally knocked down into the dirt face down…and even though I am profound in my opinions…I also have a heart. I have been angry from time to time and with good reason…and I don’t mince words. This blog, to me, has opened that can of worms and I believe it was good to hear what everyone thought and also to find out information. Jeanne is a good egg. I will check out her blog. I also think she is fair. I belong to a blog where the owner of that blog is also fair. That is where I lay my hat. So, for all out there that have been angry and hurt for things that have been personally done to them or a friend…I personally think it is time to bury the hatchet. It is a rough world to live in right now…and money does not come easy. I do expect honesty when dealing with anyone out there in the world…and when someone is in a business the biggest lesson they can learn is to be NICE to those that can make or break you. Well, nuff said, just want Claudia and Bluzkat to know that I wish them the best in the future and hope that others will come thru with the same positive message. I am no pushover…but, I do worry about women and their futures. We have to stick together thru thick and thin. Later folks…

Taylor can’t Trademark the actual phrase “Modern Whomp” just like he can’t Trademark “Soul Patrol”.

I will also say that I am happy to have left this open so that you can voice your concerns. However, the event has now passed and I’m not sure how many times we can discuss the same points over and over again.

I continue to cover Taylor’s stories so please feel free to comment in those areas (and send me tips if you like).

This is why you had to change it Claudia! You used a name that Taylor Hicks had tradmarked with the US Patent and T’mark Office. I bet Taylor’s laywer wanted to sue you and realized that you had nothing. Bet it was really quick that you were notified that you were not to use that name ILLEGALLY! How Obsurd. Cheater!

That sad little person is bored to tears with nothing better to do with her selve but out cyber people!

No one with legitimate concerns would be up on a blog discussing their “concerns”. Instead they would be contacting the correct people and voicing their complaints.

Are you psychic? If you are there is a woman in Chicago that is missing by the name of Stacy Peterson, could you please tell us where she is? It sure would be appreciated.

For the last time I am NOT bluzkat! I thought she was from Ala. and had no idea she lived in Ca. Guess what? I live 1000’s of miles from there too! That’s how much I know about this person.

Hell I don’t even know why I am doing this! I would suggest that you stick to the “facts” that you say you know and STOP trying to discredit people that you have NO idea you are talking about (me).

You are a very sad person. At this point I am thinking that maybe you deserve everything that has happened to you with Claudia and Bluzkat. You run your mouth about things you know nothing about and I or anyone on the board is suppose to trust everything you say? Get over yourself!
