- I see you are loading the TOOL onto the playlist! Good job. I have qute a bit on mine as well. I guess you'll be around for awhile. Many join and disappear in few days. Have you explored the site very much? There is a lot going on. Check out some of the groups and discussions. You will find them interesting.

- Hey Zell. It is goodd to see you are getting active on the site. Have you ever saw TOOL live? It is an amazing show. Maynard is right on cue with my feelings towards religion. He may be one of the most intellectual musicians of the day.
