Aloha !

After reading the new letter from Jon that came with the Backstage magazine (no I'm not a member but read it online so again I saved a lot of money) I couldn't help but finding Jon a stupid dork again.

I really think he is the only one who thinks the artwork is amazing. To me it just sounds like he's trying to convince the fans that the artwork ís amazing. He knows lots of fans thinks it's ugly but tries to convince them the artwork is amazing. Also, the Oompas have told us that the artwork is great, which means they've gotten a lot of complaints about it as well.

Now, anyone who thinks in a logical way should know that when about 99% of the fans think that the artwork is silly, ugly and just sucks, that the artwork is not amazing.

Now can anybody tell me why Jon tells us in a letter towards the fans that he's so happy with the artwork of a boxset of which everybody thinks it's ugly? Why does he do something like that? Is it to convince himself that the entire artwork project and his Elvis obsession wasn't a miserable failure? Or is it because he thinks that he can really change the taste of fans?

If that's true he's right, because there indeed are fans who like the things he likes, but he should face it that there are people out there that don't kiss his ass; the people that don't post the things his mom wants. Please discuss.

Salaam Aleikum,
