Thank you, Mr. Booth those are generous words, I wouldn't blame you if "James" never came to this country again (USA) Our musical tastes are stunted, stilted, antiquated and profit-based. It's why you can say with pride that you're not a hit in America, for if you were, something of the INSPIRING POETRY of "James" would be lost. Our musical heroes are mostly profiteers and shams. YOU, sir, and the band, are genuine. Namaste.

Thing is those shows are ENTERTAINMENT. James is ART!

Some amazing words, the people on American idol and x factor aren't real musicians, they just want fame and money.
