camthom, I like to think I'm a reasonable guy who can (pretty much) take anything. You have no idea the s-hit that any of us has probably been through. I, nothing personal against you, was very offended with what you had to say there. So offended that it very near destroyed my day - and a lot of people's confidence. How dare you say, from where I'm standing, that we don't have a right to succeed because it's something we love. You are a fool, seriously, for saying that - and you will only be proven wrong. Did Andrew Lloyd Webber or Stephen Sondheim have any of this training? Matter of fact, did anyone who has ever succeeded on Broadway have this training? No, just Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, and they're not even household names - and none of their musicals have been ground-breaking and lasting forever. Most of the people from those workshops arenb't even succeswsful or known. Which then concludes with the fact they are just like us, and hopefully loiving what they are doing.
Just because someone is not a member of an institution or any serious crap doesn't give you the right to be a snob and say that they don't deserve success - and the way you expressed and articulated yourself was one of the most poisonous slanders and attacks I have ever read on the internet. These people haver talent, and a lot of people do, more talent than I have actually (seriously) seen from anyone in ythose petty workshops. You are not worth bothering about. You have no idea what you're talking about, and you have offended a lit of people and I am not going to sit here and allow it to be shoved down my throat when I love what I'm doing, when I am proud of it, when people have said themselves it is capable of a major revolution, and no f-ucking university or institution forced it down my throat. Yout ake your petty little accusations and go to the land where everyone is rich and snobnosed and judgemental. You belong there, in a beautiuful paddeds cell with rich jewellery and camel rears. We are better than you, after what you've said, and I can't believe - still can't believe - you said all thst rubbish which wuull never be true as long as everypne here, and bveyond, is alive. Everyone. Keep wrkng. You wiill get somewhere if you're passionate and convinced enough you will make it - and if other people agree. YOu don;t need these snobs in your life who are born to kick you down. They can rot in their petty little cells
Who can explain it, who can tell you why?
Fools give you reasons, wise men never try
