    MMJ, joking aside. But converting the pure theories into real music is the hardest thing and we don't expect you do it alone on your own.:winker::mates:
     
  3. I can link you to a song I Co-wrote and produced on YouTube right now with over 42,000 views. Can you?
    In fact with your ingenuity, why don't you rearrange it and show us your dazzling skills since you will call the song "the work of a child" which was your estimation of my songwriting two years ago in spite of being signed to a major label and being with the same music publisher now since 1982.
    List your credentials since you issued a sort of musical pissing contest recently.

    To whom specifically is this tirade directed at?
     
  5. It's a mouthful of buckshot, a verbal scattering of unfocussed venom from one backed into a corner. The Great And Powerful Oz behind the curtain.

    These phrases are almost the same:
    1. I can
    2. I'm able to
    3. I think
    4. I will
    but these phrases and even theories won't lead to a final product. For making sth come into existence, other real materials are required.

    The questions are:

    1. What are these real materials?
    2. Is MMJ equipped with these real materials?
     
  7. No final product? Really. Others here who know me will verify my identity in relation to this track as stated in the credits.

    My friend, don't get me wrong. That comment was for MMJ not you. He likes reality but seems doesn't want to get his hands dirty in any way. :rofl:
     
  9. I only named three greats of quite a lot that do the same - as to whether they are this or that does not matter. Which one in your opinion is the close-minded one? That's an interesting comment.
     
  10. I have no idea who you are nor do I need to know but that's really good.

  11. Thank you, your appreciation means a great deal to me. I am part of a world wide collective that includes ex musicians from Genesis, Yes, Pink Floyd plus endorsements and contributions from Sir David Attenborough, David Suzuki, Jane Goodall. We are currently finishing a trilogy of albums related to the fragile ecosystems under threat on our planet. We donate part of the profits to UNICEF.

  12. That is noble and honourable. For that effort alone in the thoughtful donation of proceeds to those in need, you deserve whatever kudos you get. :like:

    You should be proud of MMJs around the world because they don't tend to make anything dirty even their hands. No dirtiness and no danger to ecosystems.:mates::rofl:
     
  15. That is funny!

    Crisis. Brilliant.

    Nice to see someone putting their music where their mouth is.

    The OP is the most verbose blowhard Ive seen here in years, and I don't believe he's yet posted anything that supports his self-aggrandising BS.

    Still, I'll wait and watch. Given his post history his material had better be nothing short of astonishing.

    Hey @Crisis, here's a contradiction that you might enjoy.
    Comparing this version to your earlier Blue Mountain remix...
    - I think this version's better
    - but I like the Blue Mountain remix more
    :dunno: ain't it wonderful what good music can do to delight and muddle our brains
    Congrats for all of it! :like::like::like::like::like:

    You call your critics clowns. Clowns do or say sth funny. :rofl:

    But MMJ we're all friends. There's a big gap between the theory and reality and no one can repudiate that (but you probably can:rofl:). We just want to fill the gaps.:wink:
