Now You Play Me
As a part of being in a band in this time and place, I am involved in a number of websites that I probably wouldn’t normally be involved with. One of these websites is Myspace. Myspace came in after friendster and took over the world by being cooler than Friendster and any of the other social networking sites. I don’t particularly like the site, but I consider it a necessary evil as a way to keep people coming out to our shows.
It is also a real potential source for abuse. Every now and then, I get some really nasty messages from super-empowered, anonymized ass clowns who feel like the Internet is there for them to become some kind of mutated Super Asshole when in normal life they probably walk around just thinking those ass-clown thoughts to themselves.
I got one of those messages yesterday.
This genius decided to send me this email.
“you guys look like fags and your music sucks”
So, how would you have responded to such a nasty email, if you were in my shoes? Now you play me. Go ahead and leave it in the comments, if you feel like it.
This is how I responded.
“Thanks for listening! - Craig - The Company Line”
I feel like such a grownup.

This is why we have strict guidelines on what Kiddicus is allowed to say to people on myspace.
