It ain't easy being a blogger. Having singlehandedly maintaining this blog (and 5 more) for almost a coupla years now, I learnt a lot already.

For those who are still confused, I am not a member of Superfriends. Siti Rosman I am, but I'm not the keyboardist. I can't even play the tambourine! I do have a fascination with that particular instrument though (tambourine, I mean).

I merely document their adventures and misadventures. Good adventures they have. Been lucky to meet decent, kind-hearted, music-loving folks they have, both in-club and on-line.

But as far as I know the band do get their share of brickbats. Some they take graciously - I mean, there's nothing wrong with telling the band that you think they should play that new Justin Timberlake song already. Or dropping a note saying, "Aiyoh! Your lyrics so salah la beb..."

But hardly sober writing "why your band like rat" on a piece of paper just cause the guitarist could not hear on what you're saying cause he's busy finishing off a Santana riff on stage - that's just uncalled for.

Speaking of lousy comments, as the one and only blogger for this site, I've received a few anal ones myself. The band members are nice intelligent folks themselves, so usually they just let the bum be bumps.

On the other hand, I, do get annoyed when they get comments that are uncalled for. I know it is the right of every visitor to note down their two sens worth, - good, bad - but gosh, don't some people just know how to be anal about it!

For Pete's sake, what does cellulite has to do with their performance on stage? As long as they deliver good music, entertaining to the max of their effort, doesn't that count for something?

You think it's easy playing in a live band? You go and do just that please, I'll get me butt to wherever you're playing, and you can tell me there and then. But don't go calling your band Anonymous al-Freakos, cause it might be a bit hard to land a contract ya?

Or do you really have the right to tell people off just because they don't do Heine, Corona or Johnny Walker? Can't you just respect the Coca-Cola, the Sprite and the orange juice? They don't think they're so much better than you just because they do soft drinks, so what the hell makes you think you're so good?

And boy oh boy, am I so tempted sometimes to just delete those comments off, which I can with just a few clicks. But I still have respect for freedom of opinion, so I guess for now I won't. After all, your stupid comment is under your copyright.

So lemme just sing this out loud... All together now!
