Two which I add, any similarity betweern the above two is purely coincidental.
Comfortable" does not equal "drab". You are saying A, he is saying B and trying to
attribute B to you. You said it fine. Any idiot from 99% to 1 % should be able to
understand it, unless that idiot leads a drab, miserable, hum drum existence and is
defensive about it. No need for interpreters or for you to apologize about the
"meaning" of your written words. They speak for themselves, quite eloquently, as
does, I'm sure, your music.
