Jules B From: Daniel Vallor To: loud-fans@smoe.org Sent: Saturday, 6 June 2015, 8:35 Subject: Re: [loud-fans] Re: Scott And Alex Re: "The drummer said you were not very clean..."B Scott could not imagine ever saying such a thing to a woman, or even thinking it, so singing it seemed false to him. He could certainly appreciate the original, and I think took no exception to Alex singing it, but it wasn't him. Somewhere I have a tape of him working on singing "O Dana" and he just can't get "I'd rather shoot a woman than a man" out of his mouth. I had an exchange with another musician some time back who found Scott's "You Can't Have Me" exception appalling, that it wasn't Rock to dispatch that lyric. But really, Scott wasn't really a "Rock" guy. - - D ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 6 Jun 2015 22:37:43 -0700 From: "Joseph M.
