What is wrong with the Warped Tour?
Ok, i'm pissed now!
I got an email from one of the Warped Tour Promoters today and here is what it said (read all the way down for my reply):

Hi
I don’t know if you’ve heard of Play Radio Play, but he’s this amazing 17-year old, who has built a cult following thru MySpace and word of mouth. He’s getting so huge that he’s been asked to join Warped Tour and is recording his first album with award-winning producer Garret Lee, who has previously worked with the likes of U2, Snow Patrol, The Hives and Bloc Party.
I was wondering if you’d be interested in setting up a phoner, on-camera or email interview. Let me know your thoughts.
Thanks

Thanks for the email. I don't wanna sound like a jerk or something like that but I just don't see it. I like to stay open and non-judgemental towards new music but this guy just sounds like a poor offshoot of Brite Eyes. Just because he's got 70,000 friends on MySpace shouldn't give him a ticket to The Warped Tour. I mean what are they thinking. Maybe they should change the name of it to the Popular Tour. Don't you agree or am i crazy. I've been in bands all my life and are in two now and I've always been for the music and not the votes. I mean, if this is where music is heading then i'm gettin' the fuck outta the truck! On that note I want nothing to do with The Warped Tour this year. Just my opinion.

Now if you take the time to find them on MySpace you can see what I mean. They do not belong on the Warped Tour.
