Dear Bob:

I am shocked that you find no differentiation between "making Love"  
and "having sexual intercourse."

More over, I am shocked that you would state that premise as a  
universal truth every member of the DJML believes. I for one,  
respectfully disagree.

I believe there is a huge difference between "making love" and "having  
sex", and will explain it  because you don't seem to get it. One makes  
love to a person (or audience) one loves and respects. One has sex  
with a person usually for self gratification with no thought of  
"love". That is usually called lust, or f***ing.

To put it bluntly, there is a huge difference in "making love to the  
audience" which is what usually draws a following and more gigs, and  
f***ing the audience which usually results in no more gigs.

If, as you postulate, none of the band leaders on the DJML know the  
difference, no wonder there is no audience for this music. They are  
all, except for me, f***ing the audience.

Thank you for helping me make my point.

Cheers,
