"Recently VoiceAnth made an appearance and after all these years admitted After years of thinking he couldn't possibly have meant the things he said, VoiceAnth finally admitted that he wrote and argued things he didn't even mean. I didn't even respond to VoiceAnth's revelation, because it wasn't anything I didn't already know. But man was it nice to have it confirmed." - findingnamo
This, unfortunately, is a misquote, a good one, but a misquote.. If I did not know that Namo was the guardian of all things "misquoted and paraphrased” - always in his favor, granted, I wouldn’t even bring it up…Ok, yeah, I would.
My quote was:
“Some of it was me, sure, and some of it was just made up. Pure bunk. I never understood the unwritten by-laws that you HAD to be truthful or be yourself here. Why? Says Who? “ - AnthVoice2010
Namo left out “some of it was me”.
How much was me, you may ask? Maybe one day 75%. Maybe one day 7%. Maybe some in the same sentence. Maybe one day 100%
Did I really think Christina Aguilera had a great voice (True)? Did I think she should tour in ‘Funny Girl”? (False)
Did I think Bruce Springsteen was the greatest composer of his generation? (True).
Did I really think Jessica Simpson would make the ideal Audrey in “Little Shop of Horrors? (False - although now, I’m wavering)
Did I really think the TONY’S should open with a Super-Bowl-Like Pre-Show with Aerosmith, Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears? (False)
Do I think Stephen Sondheim is perhaps the most overrated composer of his time (We’ll leave that for another day)?

My response was then as it is now:
Who cares? It is a message board!
Did I believe it prevented me from getting a job on Broadway which I never wanted? No!
Did my friends who actually perform on Broadway and who review for the stage care? They laughed the loudest!
Did we cure cancer here? Commit the Tate/LaBianca murders here? Tell the Donner Party they were on the wrong trail?
It's a Broadway Message Board and at last look - still is...
The most disturbing thing is that seven (7) years later, wars are still be waged, people are being banned, people still pretend to be me...and Namo is still very much here.
Hey, you’re still here. Look whos-a heeeeerrreee....You’re still HEEEEEEEEEEEEREEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Congrats.
