Just found the offending thread, and answered my own question. Duh....
I guess Fran was (rightfully) being protective of his creation. Who wouldn't be?
But on the other side of the argument, I'm sure Fran has heard worse things said about Travis/ Travis's music; and what would be the point of the forum if we didn't feel safe to voice a negative opinion from time to time?

If it's in the public domain, as this thread is, please can you explain it to the public?
Thank you :)
Edit: ps. I'd be happy to arbitrate, if you like!!! :)
In a nutshell:
1. I heard the Long Way Down album version on the radio and stated my opinion about it.
2. I suggested Ben Filb had hyped it up so tried to use fancy words to describe it as being like the Oasis song The Importnace Of Being Idle but less cohesive.
3. Fran got involved
4. Fran called my musical knowledge bluff
5. I posted an apology to Mr.Healy as regards to the comment and to some degree the rest of the board.
6. 99% the board (it seems) accepted my apology, if they were involved in the discussion.
Ok, ok i meant to say, in a fucking massive boring nutshell.
:-{ lol! |

Funny! :)
As I said above, I figured it before you answered, but thanks for the explanation. I think this has all been blown out of proportion, and you shouldn't lose any sleep over this. I'm not even entirely sure you needed to apologise to Fran. Nothing personal to Fran, but it's an exchange of opinions here, isn't it? You weren't rude or offensive were you? You didn't break forum etiquette.
I don't blame Fran for disagreeing with you, as you dissed his work. And after all, Travis is the reason we're here. But, at the same time, I don't think you did anything terrible. Fran's allowed to disagree. And we're allowed to voice comparisons. Aren't we? Isn't that the purpose of the board?
And send round the taste police, but I quite like that Oasis song! :)

Ok if you feel you were wrong, you apologised to Fran... fine again. You certainly don't have to apologise to the board.. what for ?
Anyways your not hated by me :)
That's true. After all " there is no wrong, there is no right, the circle only has one siddde." Haha.
i love when people quote Travis lyrics as an argument for or against something on this board! it always makes it extra entertaining! No one can disagree if it is a Travis lyric! |

| You should make a sign for Fran when you go to see them on the UK tour. You should put "I'm sorry Fran, can I have a hug please?" hahaha You've done nothing to upset me matey and I'm sure, in fact I'm certain Fran isn't upset either, he was just protecting the music which is only fair considering they put so much effort into making it. |

As you do feel the need, then I dont think putting the words up on a title thread is an apology . It rankles and at the very least , draws attention to it!
You mean it "rankles" you?
No I would have thought Fran , but thats just a guess , one I thought you might have thought of.
Well, either way, not meaning to sound antagonistic here, but, kinda nothing to do with you is it?
Fran said his peice and i took his point and apologised, im sure if he was more bothered than he was he would have put what he said in a different manner than he did. Im also sure he can speak for himself too and doesnt need others to speak for him.
Just to clear that up.
Im not here to annoy folk, and you seem to be the only one who took it the wrong way.
Aaaaaannnnyyywwwwaaaayyyy, water under t'bridge
Lets be done with this ok, can we be friends again?

| I think you were maybe a tad more antagonistic (to steal your word) than absolutely necessary, but respect for starting this thread and I certainly won't hold a grudge! It's easy for things to get out of proportion, but people should never be afraid to state their opinions, within reason. |
