I’m not sure how often you folks check the comments for each blog post, but I do fairly regularly. I guess that kind of makes sense since this is sorta my blog.
Anyway, I wanted to pass along this little gem because I’d hate to think it had been overlooked.
Here it is, from “Ted,” in response to a post entitled A-Hole:
Who let this loser be a music writer? Its bad enough that we have toendure his idiotic musings in the paper every week. Now he’seditorializing about A-Rod? Glad you think he’s a total douche. Why notfill up this space with other original red sox fan opinions like “JeterSucks, A-rod swallows”? I could go on endlessly about how a certainloud mouthed red sox picher is by far the douchiest player baseball hasseen in decades…but I’ll save that debate for when I’m sharing a beerwith my buddies, and leave this space open for those who want todiscuss local music.
Well, “Ted,” I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t always write about music, local or otherwise. In fact, it seems to me that Solid State has a fairly long-standing tradition of branching out beyond the stated “ramblings of a musical kind” to cover a wide variety of subjects. Casey liked “House,” I like baseball. Deal with it.
I’m happy to spend more time discussing local music. But only if I can fit it in between writing my idiotic musings — you know, the ones about local music. Surprisingly, being a loser takes up an awful lot of free time.
In the meantime, take a deep breath and read this. I think it’ll help.
Got something to say?

No, not that thirtyseven. I never get tired of explaining that, though.
Point taken. Thanks for you candor, Tanner. See that, folks? There is a way to get your point across without devolving into petty name-calling and personal attacks. Much appreciated.
Well; i have no interest in sports or sports posts – but i don’t really think it’s the sports that’s the problem with your blogging, essentially. It’s just a matter of writing for your audience. A way of writing that includes them and makes the audience feel invited and part of your world… While Casey did bitch and moan about some things that i couldn’t give a big girl turd about, he bitched and moaned in a way that was at least entertaining and gave some open insight into his personality. Which, i despise, btw 😉 “A-Rod Blows” only says so much about a personality. infact i’m with Cathy – i don’t enjoy the posts so much, but when the comments are more than (10) than i check em out.that being said; keep em coming!
Thirtyseven??? In a row?
Bottom line — it’s yours. You do what you want. Other people are free to complain, but hey….if you feel like Baseball, Baseball it is.
