Quote:Well, there's not gonna be a clear winner in this one... Let's go to the score cards... It's a draw!Has anybody ever thought of suggesting to Michael that he permanently move Taxi and everything else to Nashville? I think it's a better idea than just a mini rally...All in favor... Say "y'all"... From what I understand most of L. A.'s moving to Nashville anyway, so that's not a bad idea.

I don't think you're evil at all. You bring lots of great opinions to this forum. I didn't misread what you wrote. That's Ok if you don't know what I'm talking about.Hook, I'll have to start working on my drawl. All y'all r jes so wonnaful.Personally, I'd love for the Rally to be in Nashville(or New Orleans), as well as the Taxi office in Nashville. But that is one helluva big move. Somehow I think ML would've already done it, if it was in TAXI's best interest. Quote:@Gilbert,Dude, Calm down... For some reason, you misread what I wrote and instead of saying "My mistake", you try to frame me as some kind of hate-mongering-PC-bashing-know-it-all-putting-down-your-hard-working-friends? Mhmmm. I don't quite know what to say about that...You sure got me... If you were in Montreal, I'd invite you to my place to see that I'm not that evil, but you're in BC...oh well Vermeer

Somehow I think ML would've already done it, if it was in TAXI's best interest. Maybe he didn't think of it...He could be reading this right now, thinking, "Dang! Why didn't I think of that!".We should suggest it... Hehheh...Chits, I think they're getting out before it falls in the water! And that's ANOTHER good reason for Michael to move it all to Songsville...

I'm sure Michael has considered Nashville, but the movie and TV industry is still in LA and that is a good source of listings and placements as well. We have Jimi in the Nashville branch, and the reality is..... its dang hard to break through in Nashville. ArkJack

Steve, you are a wonderful songwriter--and you know I mean that--but you are only a self-proclaimed cop and we call those vigilantes or rogues, my good man, even when they mean well. A good cop is sure a crime has been committed before he bashes a citizen over the head and slaps the cuffs on. A man clears his throat and you accuse him of preparing to spit on the sidewalk.Well, sir, if you are going to--presto-- become a self-proclaimed cop, I am just going to become a self-proclaimed judge. This one is thrown out of court. The man cleared his throat, he didn't spit. Next case please!

Jesse, you're right. Vermeer, I apologize. And now you all know my not-so-secret, secret.

Okay, now that the air is clear... Who should we get to call Michael and tell him he should move his family and business to Nashville?Me? Uhhh... I can't. My phone just broke... It'll be broke for awhile. I think I'll have a Molson... Yes Molson... A doggone righteous brew from the Great White North...

The sails have grown silent.Man, the amount of work necessary to pull off even a mini-rally would make me run for the hills too.The plan was probably to generate enough stir so that someone else would jump in and take control who actually knows how to strum those million strings. It takes tremendous know-how and persuasiveness to bring it all together.Looking at it from my own puny perspective I just don't see what the advantage would be for Taxi. They already seem to have pretty good lines of communication established with Nashville.
