I did check it out Eric. Not sure how seriously you want me to take your comments. This is an easy topic to comment on since it is rather innocuous but I would like to be honest with you as a friend, in as much as we should before the public. That is quite often you make light of your comments, thoughts and actions, and write them off as something you had done in jest. At times it seems like a way of releasing your self from responsibility with the views you have espoused. I do not mean to embarrass you and if I have I owe you an apology. Yet at times we do have certain views that we find later, do not really fit our growing attitudes, beliefs and opinions. There is nothing wrong with acknowledging it. I have had to make many revisions in my behaviors over the years to suit the garments I currently wear. And in many cases I am unable to mend the fabric I’ve torn and just had to let some people, ideas and situations blow out of my life.

In the simple case of IZ compared to Tongi; I would look at it more from a technical musical viewpoint. IZ had a lower pitch voice from the rather floating voice of Tongi. So I would ask do we change our expression from life to life. And I do not know the answer to that? Listen to Iz sing the phrase “Somewhere over the Rainbow” and then the baritone register of the word “Way” . Then listen to Tong sing the first phrase ”Turn down the light “ it gets an immediate reaction from Lionel Richie because the sound is incredibly lyrical in a higher register… it demands an immediate reaction and even his walking off stage is an emotional response that is accepted. IZ having quite a different affect on an audience. That is nevertheless appealing but in a quite different way.
