I would like to comment on something I saw in that article the Nashville Scene wrote on the Features:

So when news spread that the band were dropped in just under a year, fans were shocked. Sparking weeks of message-board rants and raves, the cause for the drop split their loyal following along the increasingly blurred line between art and commerce.

1. Weeks? We had a very short time before the board was pulled down.
2. Most of the rants came from a band member
3. Split? Yes the riff was huge between the 5% who thought they should have covered the song and the 95% who thought they did the right thing.
4. Rants and raves? What was actually said was pretty low-kew compared to our discussions on many other topics.

I can't grow a beard, and I don't like to party.

Maybe she was referring to the blog?
