You'd think there would be another tech/web podcast waiting to steal the for forefront when you slip, but it just hasn't happened. And you gave them a year of inactivity to try. No Lynyrd Skynyrds out there waiting to capitalize on the prototypical genre created by the Allman Brothers. We all can't be The Beatles, and arrive by plane into JFK to find a mob scene waiting to turn us into legends. Some no less wonderful musicians have had to struggle there entire careers only to be recognized with a lifetime achievement award, but never the Shea Stadium gig. Keep on. As John would say, 'I don't believe in Beatles — I just believe in me.' Please, enjoy the ride. Steve,

I love the "sexy cars" but I also love the "mufflers" and it's been tough hearing the "content" dribble into nothing because if you can't fill 1/3 of the show with "mufflers" then you're going to get the ironic statements of "WTF are we going to talk about here". I say ironic because MA and JCa loves to mention there's nothing to talk about but refuses to bring up "middlewear". Either way, it's hilarious and whatever format you choose I'll listen as long as it keeps being insightful. If it matters: I loved the NewGang show on politics, I wish you guys did that every week. It's good to hear people from my arena talk about politics instead of un-credible pendants. And if you want to keep it up I'll subscribe to that show, what little pennies I have. Thanks again. Thanks Steve, I for one didn’t want the Gang to be broken but after that last show I just wanted a few people–that I’ve enjoyed in the past–to shut the fuck up.

Today’s NewsGang suggests that a careful mixture of various elements may produce a product that will justify continuing this work, though it is not clear to me that the members of the core Gang can work effectively together in the original structure.
