The thing that made me have that little "outburst" was when someone said
that all I do is drool over Glenn's pictures, and that I should learn more
about him musically. Glenn's recordings of Bach are the whole
reason I got into him in the first place. I never truely appreciated Bach's
music until I heard Glenn play it! It even inspired me to play the Bach preludes
which are now my favorite pieces to play on piano. I feel like I'm paying some
sort of tribute to Glenn while I play them. I listen to Glenn's recordings
throughout my 2 hour drive to work and back home every day. It's the
sweetest and most remarkable bliss for me. I cherish all his
interpretations. I'm putting him in my list of thanks on a cd I'm making of
piano works this year. I have also even been the cause of many people
becoming Glenn fans. I have made him extremely well known in my music classes at
college where no students knew anything about him (except that he played Bach)!
It was so sad...
So when someone claims that all I care about is Glenn's looks, of
course that's the last straw, because I think I've talked about plenty of other
things besides his physical appearance. And if someone is only going to
always see what he/she thinks is the negative of what I have to say, then I
don't see the point in speaking anything at all.
But since people have apoligized, I will also. (I do have a
soft-hearted side when people aren't insulting me =0/ ) I will apologize for the
sake of the outburst, but I never say anything that I don't truely believe in.
People are themselves whether they are angry are happy. There is no excuse that
what was said while one was furious was just a mistake. I'm just sorry it
had to end up like this. I do have a short temper when people make assumptions
about my obsessions (yes Glenn is an obsession of mine, but an obsession in the
best sense of the word) that are wrong, because what a person looks like means
absolutely nothing to me compared to their mind.
I thought about unsubscribing for that one second, but now I realize that I
love Glenn too much to let any argument steer me away from anything that might
help me learn more about him, or get involved with others who love him in the
same way.
From now on, I will just try to ignore what I find extremely offensive, but
I will not stop defending myself or what I believe in.
=0) Zeldah PS.) This Glenn autograph is going for 4000 dollars! Woah...Would anyone
buy this?
