Amen, brother you hit the nail on the head! Hit the nail on YOUR head. Sean actually makes the most sense in here. But yet you people certainly prove him right the more you show your true colors. Here's something to "Amen" about: "Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding. He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot. Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee. Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased. If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it. Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish." "How long will you simple ones love your simple ways? "How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge?"

Amen to that, too.
Hit the nail on THAT head.

It's all a matter of interpretation there Ryan. You imply that knowledge and wisdom revolves around Sean. Don't agree - simple as that. Anyone that rants and raves and has all this anger against his parents because they told him not to play the piano while they had company has major major problems. He is in denial and needs help. HOw you can sit there and say that Sean is wise is extremely funny. Dream on.......

So in other words, someone's declaration of normalcy is all based on social status or wealth? And only those who have been tossed aside or unsuccessful, need not apply? How superficially ignorant you people are! No wonder Texas creates pathetic politicians like George Bush! He represents their shallow ideas!

Well, I guess I am a product of my environment, now, aren't I? Considering the fact that society created the person that I have come to be. You expect to teach an old dog a new trick?

Plus, I wouldn't call these diatribes journalism. Sean and his alter egos......there are good meds out there for schizophrenia. That's because T.S. Elliot didn't have the internet back then, you idiot. But I am sure his readers of printed or published material had something to complain about, at times. they probably thought he disturbed people's minds, relatively, also. he was probably marginalized like all the rest of them, or censored, or martyred. Nothing new. Throughout the ages people have maintained a habit of belittling or demoralizing others who challenge their ways of thinking or that have revolutionary ideas. they even made Socrotes in Ancient greece drink hemlock poison. they hated Cicero EVEN THEN for what he said about the Roman Empire. You people are probably just like the many other ignorant ones in history that hated what others said because it was true. They even rejected Jesus and his disciples, because of the trumped-up belief in how different or crazy they were thought to be. People are STILL blind even now. They never learn. Neither have you, apparently. And just like Rome, just like the Soviet Union, you wait and see, this nation will be next, and maybe even the whole world after that. Then we "crazies" that you call us will be laughing at you while you are destroyed by your own stupidity and complacence! Just like God himself said in the book of Revelation: "Because you are lukewarm, I shall spit you out of my mouth!" And to me, you are just as disgusting! Why waste my time on here warning you ever again! You are bringing your own destruction upon you, as you foolishly think you have all the answers -- YOU HAVE NOTHING!!! You are like dust in the wind! From dust ye came and dust ye shall return! Hear the Word of the Lord! Or die as a result of scoffing and deriding what you are blind about! This is my final warning! I now dust my feet off outside the door! I do not give what is sacred to dogs anymore! I do not throw pearls to swine! So be it! Let your fate be on your own heads!

Agree wrote: Anyone like this Sean guy should be locked up. Yeah. That's what they also said about Jesus, as well as others: Ezekiel? Yeah, him too. They called him crazy, I suppose. They called lots of people crazy because why? They didn't want their hidden ways or attitudes being exposed. Jezebel didn't want it to happen either. Same as the Pharisees didn't, either. Herod didn’t. That’s why he had John the Baptist locked up, right? Neither did Nero. He didn’t want to face reality, and so he stood fiddling while Rome burned. And neither did Neville Chamberlain. He wanted to believe that Hitler was appeasable. Same old story throughout the ages. "Lock him up". "Don't listen to him -- he's crazy". Anything they could say to desperately shield themselves in THEIR DENIAL. Never to be found out.

It is interesting to notice that Sean is quickly accused of "ranting and raving"; simply for asserting a point that some of you people apparently can't handle, or take in such a personal way. Why is it such a concern of yours to defend his parents' behavior? You don't even know his parents! But already you would like to easily write him off as a "raving lunatic" or whatever else in your minds, because why? He said something that challenged your way of thinking, and so the only thing you know how to do in your desperation in saving face, is to discredit him or his innovative ways of dealing with his family. it seems to me that you people have a lot of ego problems YOURSELVES, because you wish to compete with what he says in a knee-jerk fashion, without really thinking about the fact he might actually have a point. No. you would rather accuse him of wearing a tin foil hat, figuratively, and putting him in his corner, to hide your inner feelings of resent, and to cover up your hurt with a prideful front. You apparently prove him right about not only his parents, but you yourselves defending what you don't know concerning his parents. I don't think that is a fair judgment on his personality. Neither do I believe it is appropriate.

No wonder Texas creates pathetic politicians like George Bush! He represents their shallow ideas! Hey Sean, the point is, if your parents have company - don't play the piano. If you are in their home and they have company - the company is there to visit your parents, not listen to you play. That's called MANNERS and/or ETIQUETTE. You can be polite - that's all. I'll bet Elton John didn't play the piano when his mother had someone over to CHAT. Then, when your parents request you to play for their friends, you can do so happily! Some people just don't appreciate music. And, Sean, that's ALL I'M SAYING. I'm not assuming that all musicians are not appreciated, blah blah blah. Don't read so much into what I'm saying - just have manners, man. You'd be surprised what good manners and a smile will do for you. If you do want to play music professionally, be polite, smile (don't have to be an idiot or anything) and you'd be surprised what doors open for you.

Todd, it's kind of hard to find Sean's real point, he goes way off on tangents way beyond the general discussion and calls people so many names - it's kind of pointless.

So you call anyone asserting something in any kind of statement they make which you don't agree with a "TANGENT"? That seems rather unreasonable. It also seems rather subjective. What's more, I think you this as an obvious defense mechanism, a pattern you exhibit in here for being on the wrong side of an issue, to shield an underlying lack of self-confidence, because perhaps what he has said hit home too much for you, personally, or has struck a nerve. Why don't you humble yourself and confess that is what is probably going through YOUR mind. I mean, it seems obviously hypocritical that you call other "presumptuous" in regards to Sean, when you act rather presumptuous yourself, to defend Sean's parents in a misinformed manner. You don't even KNOW his family. How can you assert so automatically that he is the entire only problem, or that you wish to put haloes on them? Damm....talk about PRESUMPTUOUS. You don't even know the whole situation or story. As they would say in the streets: "all up in one's kool-aid, and don't even know the flava". Why don’t you give him the benefit of the doubt? What makes you the ultimate expert on what happened to him?

So you are implying to Sean that if his parents KNOW that others -- even company they might have over -- have IN FACT complimented his playing at times before in the past, and yet his parents only feel pressured to give pseudo-agreeable lip service to this and not truly acknowledge this, by their obvious behavior in hiding his talent from others, this is "good manners"? To confuse Sean into feeling encouraged to show his talent to others, as long as it is not in the presence of his parents? Does that not seem counter-productive? What kind of help are you?

The point is - Sean's parents don't like his music - get it? Therefore, Sean should not play in their house. He can play anywhere he wants but there. His parents do sound a bit weird - but, it's their house and if they don't want their kido play while they have company - that's life. My parents wouldn't let the TV be on, or a radio or anything when we had company. We were to visit, etc. If later on, TV, etc was agreed upon by all, fine. That's called having manners whether you like it or not. If Sean doesn't like it, don't live with his parents, get a job or whatever. Because his parents don't like his music shouldn't dictate the rest of his life. Sean obviously needs to get away from his parents - why doesn't he?
