I see your point, Tom. I wholeheartedly agree that it might be a good thing to name drop for the sake of the kids. I guess my problem is that I don't have much faith in the kids. But there's always hope... key word for me is “hopefully”. I see your point, Tom. I wholeheartedly agree that it might be a good thing to name drop for the sake of the kids.

I know you read all of my gibberish, you are always welcome to chime in. I have been thinking about this on and off since I jumped the gun and made the post. I know that my statement is strong and I realize Hunter may have said more in the interview that was not printed. I also acknowledge that my disgust with AFI\'s direction colors my judgement (just as I introduced Tom to Motown, he turned me onto old AFI which can be pretty bad ass if you know which albums to buy). I agree that if someone can find Jamerson through Hunter than all the better. However, I think most everyone who reads Bass Player magazine knows who James Jamerson is or will be exposed to him in much greater detail by more expansive articles or informed interviews. < plug > Anyway... if any of you are in the New York City area you should go see Tom\'s band Encrypt Manuscript before they become the next big thing. Also, Tom will be backing up Shanti Wintergeen this summer on Warped Tour. Unlike me, Tom is not a big grouchy < ahref=\"http://m-w.com/dictionary/curmudgeon\">curmudgeon</a>. < / plug > Thanks for commenting, Tom.

Maybe it's a good thing that Hunter is just name dropping notable artists so kids can go and check them out. Then they can be like "wow, this is great music" and then be turned on to something truly noteworthy. I grew up an AFI fan and became a James Jamerson fan thanks to Justin. Hopefully more kids can do the same. As a member of the punk rock community I just don’t know what to say.
