That's what I was thinking. We learn to live with crappy titles.

The problem with the Bounce poll was that all the titles were crappy. I mean "one","won" or "bounce"? Which on would you choose? Why didn't they have decent titles in there...

And "Strum As You Are" is, and will always be, a crappy title.

"sigh" - Of course is it a direct reference to Nirvana's "Come as you are"
and of course it is true. Sure, he may decide to change it, but as of now, that is what he plans on calling it so like it or lump it! -
I will get my newsletter in a few days and will eat my shirt if it doesn't say that in there.

I have the newsletter, and yes, that is what Jon said the title would be. Why would someone lie about that? Some of us don't get sick pleasure out of creating a hoax and watching as hundreds of people fall for it... *cough cough* :P

I didn't think anyone would actually lie. I just thought it was a rumor. Oh well, Strum As You Are it may be then. Maybe they will change their mind.

I wouldn't say that calling an album 'Strum As You Are' is saying anything bad about Nirvana. Ok, maybe just having a laugh!

No I don't remember that. But are you saying that when I say to a barkeeper : "strum as you are" I'll get free beer ?
