I dunno. Do you want to come out for dinner with me? I know I live in England, but I could always fly over to Texas for the weekend.

I've often wondered if most people's dislike for Dream Theater can in any way be related to The Uncanny Valley hypothesis. Their music manages to really sound impressive and technical, but it just lacks this emotion that I expect in my music. The same can be said for the robots of the aforementioned theory, robots that look very human, will make people uneasy, because despite the apparent humanity on the surface, they lack the emotions that radiate off all humans that we pick up on subconsciously. So yes, I believe John Petrucci is a robot.

^^A robot that can play the guitar better than most guitarists.

Where's the feeeeling? Where's the pain? I don't think robots have ever had sons killed or relationships broken.

I would love to see him play the guitar. It would be amazing.

Did you just call the sterile crap that Enya makes 'Soulful'?
If that's what you meant, we're not going to understand eachother

I don't think many people understand this guy... But if he still wants dinner with me, he knows where to find me.

I don't understand anyone, musically, who likes Enya.

You know, when I clicked on your music collection link, I half expected to see Enya's entire discography.
Of course, your collection is very good. I'd think twice about Kansas's "Leftoverture" though.
