Well, the two space thing comes from typing class back in the day.
Yeah, you can tell our age from things like this.  I use two spaces myself.  Every time I experiment with only one, it looks weird to me. 
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Jordan is actually DT's tax advisor. He just happens to do their taxes on stage, that's why he has that iPad there.

Really? The bands at the top are all the ones he is currently playing in. DT and LTE are literally top of the bands he is no longer playing with.

Why is LTE so high, but DT between tiny side projects?

For what it's worth MP had nothing to do with the new layout other than providing setlists. That was done by the mods over there.

Poor MP, he can never do right...if he had put the DT logo at the top, some of us here would be saying "heīs still trying to capitalize on DTīs success", or "clearly he hasnīt moved on...come on dude, itīs been 5 years already".

They've changed it since rumbo's (and my) post. Originally DT was below LTE, below AMOB, below A7X and down next to Bigelf.

The new ordering is totally fine, yeah. It was the old one that made you think "whoa, apparently DT belongs in the cover band section of this list".

He did a good job of deflecting that last question.  I don't blame him though.

I thought it was pretty lame when the interviewer started asking questions about the DT split. I was very much enjoying the obscure trivia in the interview and was disappointed when it switched gears at the end.

What??

That was a great interview, and I applaud MP for taking part. He had to know the line of questioning beforehand. I thought regarding the split, they were questions that we have all speculated on, and to hear (and see) it from his POV was great.

I realize MP is not perfect, but I truly miss him.
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

He did a good job of deflecting that last question.  I don't blame him though.

I'd actually say good on him for giving no comment on the most provocative parts of the question and for giving a diplomatic response on the rest. It seems like maybe he has learned a thing or two about PR—he managed to talk a bit about the split without re-igniting anyone's ire.
