The Original 16 Song cd has been 'expanded' and digitally remastered for improved Sound as well as "Surround" Dolby Stereo 2009 !! The album now features some 31 Songs !! Available everywhere on the web ! The original opera 'story' as influenced by albums by the Who, Queen, and others resulted in a double cd that grew upon the "Going Legit" original concept. The Lead character travels back in time, Goes to war in Iraq (Twice), comes home to homelessness, and eventually dies in anonimity - Two seperate 'concept' 'stories' actually collide merging reality with fantasy. The original album went on sale to Large unit shifts in 1994 for an album that had no live band to play it and limited advertising. Today in 2009.....Greenhouse Effect live on as "The Earth's most watched band" mainly upon the merits of 1991 Classic "Brandy" and "A White Black Thang" (1992). The grunge Super Group plans no live gigs or returns to shows anytime soon.

378,491 Views - LOS ANGELES. Greenhouse Effect have come roaring back in 2008 and 2009 to crushing views and downloads on the internet, Top chart success at Myspace and Youtube, "Other countries" explosive plays of their Mega Hit single BRANDY, A 1000 $ Dollar payday "side stage" offer to play California's Coachella Festival, and top rotation at JANGO RADIO ! NEEDLESS TO SAY, its been quite a year for the pinnacle three piece 'trio' band that "Started it all". "We are and were THE musical revolution of the 1980's and 90's" says Clark Hagins in November 2009. "With so many people now knowing about me and my music, learning about Phil Keegan, and Great People Like Jeff Snow at Rock City Productions in Massachusetts,..and so curious about all of our web tactics and Jango Radio,....its great,...we have everything in place EXCEPT for the major airplay at FM RADIO in America,.....AND we'll get THAT next" says Hagins. Hagins gushes about a hopeful upcoming "reality show" about him and his music plus his swimming pool cleaning possibly on Halogen Tv airing in 2010. "My surfer nephew has a show called "Wave Hunters" that is gunning onto airplay with Halogen,..there may just be a G.e. thing in the works soon,..although millions of people have seen me so much,....I'm alot like Dave Grohl from Foo Fighters,...theres a hella lotta people that are sick and tired of me,...but fortunately for me,..i got this nerdy Weezer Rivers Cuomo type of thing where G.e. is so "lovable" ,..we're like Woody Allens,..they love us in France and Japan,....We got geekey guys in the band like Ted,....even Palle too,..we are charmers,...I hope people will tune into my tv show soon,..I hope they're not too sick of me and Brandy n all" Hagins speaks fondly of a recent rehearsal where he and new drummer/ Surfer Hagan Kelley rocked in San Diego's North County's Goblen rehearsal studio in Vista Ca. "Its kinda sad because years ago, Goblin burned to the ground and their guy Darren - who is just such a terrific great guy,..he really struggled to get Goblen studios going again so we bands can play there,....We bands NEED a place to play,..to jam,..it means alot to groups that are struggling too these days,...but me and Hagan pulled off a great show,...We did play Brandy pretty tight,....I don't think we were quite ready to play that Coachella thing last summer but Hagan suggested that we just go there and play the whole ENTIRE gig in our underware, smashing all our gear,..and I was like 'but dude,..we don't HAVE any gear,..we would be smashing someone elses' gear (Laughs)" Darren from Goblen often "loans" Hagins and other bands musical gear to jam with for a small fee,...."Maybe if Darren loaned me the absolute crappiest guitar I could smash it at a concert and he might not mind (Laughs) " adds Hagins Hagan Kelley's surf program documents his trips to Mexico and maybe Fiji where he surfs waves, hunts for "Art chicks" and listens to "Gone" old tapes by Greg Ginn from Black Flag. "Hagan's show "Wave Hunters" is gonna be part of Josh Shipp's Jump Shipp I think" says Hagins.... Meanwhile in the U.S. , G.E. continues to rack up astounding numbers in cyberspace as the "World's biggest internet rock band" feeding off their song Brandy mainly and footage of historic G.e. concerts back in the South Bay of Redondo beach California like the Show at the Hermosa Saloon on August 16, 1991 ,..where G.e. appeared to be 'copying' the look, style, sound, and demanor of Seattle band Nirvana - Ofcourse at the time, there was no Huge Nirvana known as their "Smells like teen spirit" video and "Nevermind" album had yet to be released and heard of.." Our band was so innovative" says Hagins "For years , i tried and tried to convince all the major labels to sign us and i begged them that 'grunge' rock was gonna be the next big thing - this is very common knowledge in the South Bay,....everybody THOUGHT that I was crazy and insane,..they said that 'alternative music' was never gonna make it ,..and that it was subject only to the 'bargain bins' at record stores,..well, I fought like hell,..not just for me,..but for ALL EMO BANDS,....WE WANTED TO DESTROY heavy metal and bands like Skid Row and Def Leppard,..it was a tough tall order,....when i suddenly saw Nirvana going off huge,..i was a little stunned,...I mean i was a little happy to see that my ideas could work in the big time of the main stream,...but then I began to get bitter and angry and i wondered how it was,...how was it possible that G.e. of all bands ,..still couldn't get signed,...even with our song BRANDY in 1992,..it really bummed me,..out,..it made me give up and quit ,..by late 92' ,..I was over,..G.E. WAS OVER !! Our bassist Ted had quit and went and joined a punk rock band called the One handed Readers in Redondo,.....me and Palle Carlson tried to keep G.e. alive ,..but then he went back to Denmark,..man,..it was sad,..things were falling apart fast,....then, I saw all those bands like Weezer and Green day in '94,..THATS when i knew it was really over for me,..and i was only 29 ,..back then,..but in those days,..THAT was considered old !! In the South Bay,.... Hagins began the live part of his musical career jamming with bands like Palos Verdes demo project "The Cloud Chamber" before moving on to jam with fellow Redondo guitar rocker Steve "Stevo" Stepanian - where Hagins played drums before jamming with a multitude myriad of different South Bay punk bands, among them B.P.S. (beats per second) and "Outlash Control" before settling in as permenant fill in drummer for the Jim Mellon Quartet and the CVB (Christine Valley Band) with Joe Groovey dude and John Hall from Youngstown Ohio and many drunken nights at the Hermosa Saloon where huge loud blues gigs were often "Led" by Hagins - from the drum kit. "Its funny,..in the South Bay, I had just like this HUGE reputation as a drummer - but NOW most of the world knows me as a guitarist (Laughs)" says Hagins in November 2009. "Brandy" has turned Hagins into an overnight success and more than a household internet word ,..where millions of plays and downloads ,..many often 'originating' in the South Bay before spreading all across the country and the world "My dad was like this heroic school teacher at Palos Verdes High School,..he was Gary Hagins Teacher and his students really loved him and his dark sense of humor,...they rallied around HIM and now today, from all across the United States,..they rally around ME - I AM THE SON OF GARY HAGINS,..SCHOOL TEACHER ,..THATS LIKE BEING THE SON OF JESUS OR WAYNE GRETZKY IN CANADA,....'THATS' HOW MUCH HIS FORMER STUDENTS LOVE MY DAD !!,...I LOVE MY DAD - He's such a great genius thinker,...he writes great books,..he would have been a great blogger in cyberspace,....my dad has cancer right now,..he is very sick,..and 80 years old,....but he is still very sharp of mind,..he recently had a heart attack and stroke,...i will do every thing in my power and all i can to make sure 'all' of my dad's great books get published - I KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE TO BE GOOD - BUT GOOD IN THAT GRAY AREA WAY - where people don't really understand you,..My dad is GREAT LIKE THAT - HE IS A GENIUS !! I'M GONNA SEE TO IT THAT ALL OF HIS WORKS BECOME FAMOUS AND PUBLISHED !!! Its in our Family DNA to create Great Art.... HAGINS credits many nights of rehearsals and gigs at places like the Hermosa Saloon in giving him the confidence to play rock n roll music..."I was NOT always a nice sweet friendly guy to people,..but i could be very cool and kind too at times if given a chance..,..All that they try to say about me is not true,..its a big misunderstanding usually ,..I was just fighting to get to the top - THE TOP OF ROCK N ROLL AND GRUNGE ALTERNATIVE MUSIC,..Very determined....ITS A BUMMER THAT I COULDN'T have made it and hit the big time back in 1991 or 92" says Hagins "but this is how God wants it,..I'll just have to rock out now - for the world - at age 44,..and I will help bands like the Spongetones and Batlord along the way !! ======================== Hagins says that he "has to blog" and thoroughly enjoys writing - even more than music "Its like sex being a blogger" says Hagins "especially when yer one of the world's most known,..its nice to know that people read my shit" - "My dad was and is a Great writer,...and writing is difficult,..you have to organize and remember a lotta stuff ,..like as if you yourself are a computer,...it takes a ton of patients and passion,...its difficult and tough,..but 'IF' you enjoy it,..THAT makes it all fun and worthwhile,....I just wish I could get paid for this shit (Laughs)...." =================== Hagins says he didn't always get along or have the greatest relationship with his dad "I don't worry about that old shit now to the point of it killing me,...people on youtube come on there and they say nice things and they try to help me,..its been a struggle,..my dad did what he had to do and he was tired from teaching all day,..he still managed to devote time to his Church and his followers,..and i am ONE OF THEM !!...He fed me food,....and he put a roof over my head" =========================== Jango Radio has been quite useful as Hagins manages to get plenty of World-wide Airplay for songs like "Brandy" and the "Black or White" Song along with what Hagins calls "Crucial airplay' for the Phil Keegan guitar era of G.e. "My music is just pop flap,..its three chords with verse chorus verse kinda shit,....but it IS the Phil Keegan on Guitar era of Greenhouse Effect that makes Our band so unique and special,...we were real true warriors ,..standing up for bands like "Book of Talesian" era Deep purple, the Who, and the Yardbirds with keith Relf,..we were real 60's junkies,..THAT is what became grunge with "Precarious" and "Racers" and 'Waiting for your love to fail"...plus Rick Carmodys important 'flannel image',...If i could turn back time,..I wish atleast TWO of our important gigs had been filmed and I had them to document today and that would be this one gig that we played in 1987 at Madame Wongs where me and Ted were all decked out in flannel,..we did it in honor of Neil young and Mike Watt mainly (Laughs),...no,..in 1987,..we weren't doing it for Kurt,..(hisses),...Me and Ted always thought that Nirvana sucked ,..and to a degree I still do,..those guys are fucking Lame - atleast compared to G.e. - but then again,..ALL bands suck ...next to G.e. - except shit like Rush and iron Maiden - THAT SHIT is hella good !! I can't touch THOSE !! ANY BAND after Sept. 24, 1991,..I don't listen to,..maybe Weezer,..and thats all,..the rest of it sucks,...I respect Nirvana for all their luck and timing n all ...and skill - one cannot deny them,...but i don't respect Green Day at all - NOT ONE BIT,...I WOULD SPIT IN THAT GUY'S fucking little face .....

198,734 Views - In the everyday World of listening to music in your car stereo or walking into your neighborhood 7-11 or Mighty Mart, You are likely, in passing, to hear more than enough of Coldplay or Foo Fighters. Beyonce or Hip Hop Rap music. Eminem or My Chemical Romance. But in the World of cyberspace, You are likely to hear - and fall in Love with just One band. You have entered the domain of the Greenhouse Effect and Clark Hagins. No, we're not talking about Global Warming or the depleting Ozone and a hole growing. We're talking about the biggest band on the internet. From countries near and far, they watch their G.e. indeed !! G.e. rules the web baby !! "We're very interesting" says Clark Hagins "We look normal,....theres no tattoos. People are in Shock...Plus the songs are good" Hagins continues "We're a musical revolution... We have the best music that there is anywhere on Earth, ...We have strong Songwriting,..and we have "Brandy" says Hagins. Brandy is ofcourse the song that has launched G.e. to international notoriety as it casually builds the web's biggest song video plays around, day in and day out making Hagins a known internet web fixture along with funny looking red haired bassist Rick Carmody and other kooky characters in the band such as one time drummer, Denmark's Palle Karlson. And Top Radio Airplay at Jango and Pandora FM cement G.e. as a cyberspace Door nail one cannot deny. - "We're hillarious to look at,..we bring back memories,..to people around the South Bay and beyond... , we are THE connection to the past,..as a child, I was always obsessed with the 60's and the Beatles,....I always wanted to go back in time,..where I could go to a Yardbirds show" says Hagins. A band that was formed in 1985 by G.e. axeman guitarist Phil Keegan (Dr. Phil) has become a source of debate among fans around the world as well as today with band members of G.e. themselves... "Me and Flipper have argued over who was doing "Grunge rock" first,..was it my demos from 1985 or was it G.e. from 1987 ??" (Laughs) says Hagins "Clearly, the world sees today now,..that it was G.e. - and not any band from Seattle - that was doing the flannel rock 'Grunge' stuff first,..plus sending their tapes too SST,...thats critical" says Hagins "Me and Ted wore Flannels because of the Minutemen and SST Records bands like that,..plus Ted's house was always extremely cold and messy,...Redondo Beach could be very cold at night in the wintertime,..we wore Flannels to mass at St. Lawrence Martyr church,..it was hip in 1988,..it was punk rock,..but when yer kinda a nerd or a loser,...thats just what you wore,..everybody in the South Bay wore them,...Rick Carmody practically perfected the flannel,..we didn't wanna look heavy metal,..our songs were sullen and sad,..we wanted (and succeeded) to form a whole new sound, look, and style,..we were originators,..and I informed ALL the major Labels as far back as 87','THEY' KNOW IT !!-...but nobody believed in it or took me or it seriously,.." says Hagins "When yer a stoner, alcoholic loser in the South Bay, you had a particular demeaner,..."Racers" and "Precarious" were our early statements,....we were inventors" "We're so watched and so popular,..it just tickles our egos" says Guitarist Phil Keegan "I never dreamed that THIS many people would know about my guitar" Clark Hagins began as drummer for the Jim Mellon Quartet in Torrance / Redondo Beach Calif. nearly 30 years ago, playing shows around Hermosa and Redondo beach at places like the Hermosa Saloon, Pier 52, and the Pitcher House as well as where-ever the bands could find a gig. "It was important" says Hagins "It helped me grow as a musician because the crowd was so close at the tiny Saloon,...it sometimes made audience participation almost mandatory,...people would come out of the crowd and join the band and play,.." "There were some great gigs there where I played with many bands,..that were historic,..so many were never filmed unfortunately,...those were great times,...those tight, close in crowds at the Saloon,...they readied me to get the confidence to rock the world on the web,..the applause I remember assures me that I could rock,..I was always in demand to either drum or play guitar with like 8 different bands,...its great memories,...it readied me to rock the world" Hagins laments today's depressingly bad rock scene of the FM radio that he sees as Tired and out of ideas where what few alternative radios are left are constantly still playing their same old plate of worn out Foo Fighters and Green Day and Marilyn Manson records from the 1990's. "Radio needs to move on and find bands that are into the Yardbirds and early Zeppelin,..the emo and Coldplay thing has grown super mega boring now,...today's MTV and Radio sucks,...they still play old Nirvana records over and over like as if they are still around,..either that or they blast endless repetitious Hip hop and rap that sucks,....these bands suck,...they are tired and old,...we badly need something new now" says Hagins " I just think that all these KROQ type radio stations suck - they all sound the same ,...very boring,....and people are sick of it now,...the ratings are way down,...they should be playing bands like G.e. - or atleast carve out a special hour for today's metal bands who don't get any airplay like Bullet, Airbourne, and Dragonforce and the Darkness,...the grunge thing has gotten old,...its time to give 80's metal it's chance and it's time again on American radio because on the internet - and THATS where all it really matters now ,..those metal bands rule now,..and they are popular,..they demand and need airplay in America,..we need real metal radio stations again,..and I don't mean bands like Slipnot,..I am talking about 'real' cheeseball metal here,..it has to have long hair and be cheesey,..thats why i started Supernetcelebrities.Com ,..I wanna help metal come back naturally" HAGINS says that radio stations KROQ, 91 X, and 94.9 do not play fair as they 'only' force feed alternative rock and EMO out there daily,..and not diversifying and playing other styles "Its a Liberal democrat thang" says Hagins "these stations know that they can turn guys into dumb wimps if they hear nothing but emo all day and they can turn chicks into dumb ass fickle slut consumers who are stupid,...its all about money and liberalism,..thats why i don't even listen to the radios that much,..they are all unfair and left-wing,..I spend most of my time listening to talk radio,..I listen to Mark levin and the Michael Savage show,...I just think that people who listen to Rap, Hip hop, and R & B are dumb asses,..they are shallow MTV people,...they suck,...they would never defend us" Greenhouse Effect feel that music should and must be more technical, Psychedelic, and demanding "We made great music that was sorta like 'prog rock',..bands like Rush ,.." says Hagins

North Caroliina's Fabulous Spongetones Hit with the absolute most melody in Rock n Roll in 2009. Much more than just a Beatles Tribute, Sponge revels in their uncanny ability to write unbelievable catchy Original Songs with quality songwriting and arrangements which are uniquely all their own. Sponge Songs are high catchy hooky-ness and Ofcourse the 1960's is their foundation which they feed off for their millions of listeners on the internet. Particularly good is their "Number Nine" album where Spongetones took all the power and harnised all their melody making skills into one dynamic Rock opera which is clearly one of indie Alternative Rock's greatest achievements of ALL TIME !! "BRING IT ALL OVER ME" is an example of how the mighty Spongetones toy with the competition when it comes to top songcraft. A little bit Dave Clark Five and Beau Brummels to Beatles to maybe Yardbirds and The Rutles, Spongetones stand out as one of cyberspace's Greatest bands in 2009!!

724,945 Views - Los Angeles California band Greenhouse Effect feed off their success at Jango Radio Net Radio with their 2009 Mega-Hit Song "Brandy". With no Label Record deal, this band has come from absolutely nowhere and virtually revolutionized the internet not just with their great music - that sounds like no other band - but with their whole approach - the way that they handle the web has become a beacon to other bands, Labels, Attorneys, Managers, and Publicists EVERYWHERE !! "Brandy" works extremely well in the internet environment" says the band's Lead Singer and Guitarist Clark Hagins "We've had huge gigantic success in Europe,...I have to stay up long nights blogging,..it puts me in almost an alpha state because I don't really Know how to type for real,...I use only two fingers" says Hagins. Virtually over-night, Brandy and Jango radio working in conjuntion have turned the band into some of the web's most notable (and noticed) Rock superstars. "My passion is to make videos for great bands,..not just my own,..I work with some 50 bands and I promote them,..I get their itunes selling,..I get world fans to SEE THEM,...I make things happen - not just for G.e. - but for other artists as well,....I want EVERYONE to get an opportunity to be seen ,..not just me,...I never got my big break or chance,..all i ever got was magazines talking shit about me and writing crap out to destroy me,...I understand the politics and energy of rock n roll,..People with bold feelings and thoughts are important,....I support everyone left or right persuasion,..to me,..I have to keep it balanced and support Liberal rock music artists as well as conservative,....I don't spend my time trying to ruin people just because I happen to disagree with them,...if their music is great then thats what matters,..THATS ALL THAT MATTERS !!" BRANDY has been a stellar success for the band and Jango Radio and Blip Tv and Vod Pod are Hagins' means of attack ,..along with GoogleVideoCom,..and ofcourse tons and TONS OF BLOGGING !! "You have to blog videos heavily and write alotta' shit ,..otherwise people may lose interest,....I see my blogs transformed into other languages sometimes,..thats a thrill for me because I love it when G.e. gets played in other countries,...though the United States has been HUGE for G.e. " says Hagins... The explosive songwriter hook in Brandy as well as many other Greenhouse Effect Songs enables the band to do things that other bands simply can't. "The art of great songwriting has died,..its been killed by crap like Green Day, hip hop, and Rap music,..it sucks,....my music brings back the thrill of the Beatles, David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Rush, the Tubes, and the Kinks Ray Davies,..we are a classic rock band at heart and that is the key" says Hagins "We are pure songwriters,..studio rats,...hobbiests,...thats why we survive and thrive on the web,...not just with Brandy and the Black White Song ,..but with practically ALL of our material" says Hagins.... - G.e. indeed present a serious challenge to a music recording industry that has always refused them "We are like that band Anvil,..(Laughs) ,..We never made it,...but now, we are huge on the web,....We hold alot of crap music and Rap music hostage,.." says Hagins "We are revolutionarys"

3,765,293 Views- Greenhouse Effect's Brandy is without a doubt One of the BIGGEST SONGS EVER On the internet. Since 2005, This track has amassed very large viewership at GoogleVideoCom ofcourse kicked off by the bands 2005 Youtube account that is now defunct ; www.youtube.com/GreenhouseEffect182 - "We blew up immediately right outta' the Gate" Clark Hagins says in 2007; "I always 'knew' if I ever got my forum, My place to stand on my soapbox, that customers would come and listen ! its a tragedy about G.e. - We broke up in 1992 probobly just as we were gonna get HUGE,...Our bassist and my longtime musical partner friend Rick Carmody just up and quit one day,...Punk rock around the South Bay (Redondo Beach California) was getting trendy and he was dedicating most of his time to THAT - THAT and attending L.A. KINGS HOCKEY games,...it was a bummer, cause we probobly woulda' been huge like a Green Day or Everclear atleast - if we had kept on goin',....." For many years after G.e., Haggins did not pursue any activity involving music. "When I saw our first original Myspace and Youtubes blowing up HUGE,...I thought about calling Ted,...Suddenly, One day our former drummer Marty Silva just called outta the blue, then came a call from drummer Greg Tarpley and finally our first guitarist Phil Keegan (Dr. Phil) called - that was the most exciting phone conversation of them all,..because there is still great uneasiness and tension between me and him,....they were all very excited about whats happened with G.e. - but we all agree,..We're old guys - we're way too old now,..We're all in our mid-40's ,..and G.e. is over unfortunately,...I have a dream of playing a festival,..but i would need pro management,...it just ain't gonna happen for guys that are like 44,..even 'if' you do happen to have two of the biggest songs in the world ,..we got 'Brandy" and 'Black or white' ,..everyday ,..people are emailing me doing doubletakes goin' that shit is by YOU GUYS ??????" - I have never heard from Ted (Rick Carmody bass) ,....He knows damn well that he is gonna get an earfull of shit from me,..he learned to dis-respect me and to NOT take me seriously from my family and other people back in the South Bay who have always treated me as a joke,...only when he left in 92' ,..niether him or me realised the devestation,....he went and joined some band called The One handed Readers - well,...NOBODYS EVER HEARD OF THEM , EVERYBODYS HEARD OF G.E. NOW,..its just an unfortunate thing,..we were like Rush - and we didn't even know it,.... - GREENHOUSE EFFECT'S BRANDY burst out to over 900,000 plays at youtube in 2005 and 2006 as did many other G.e. songs "we were one of the only bands doing videos in 2005" says Clark Hagins "there weren't any other bands then to look at -except US,...WE JUST EXPLODED WITH BRANDY AND WHITE BLACK,..and other songs too like "The Magic Man" had like 245,000 Views at Youtube,..then one day I went to login and it said ; "This account is closed" I tried again and it said "this account has been deleted due to copyright issues" - and i thought that WAS THE END OF IT,....BUT THEN WE STARTED REALLY GOIN' OFF HUGE AT GOOGLE !! EVEN BIGGER THAN YOUTUBE - WAY BIGGER !!!! Today, Hagins who refers to himself as a poet and the world's original 'blogger' works with other bands as well, trying hard to get them as exposed as he did with the mighty G.e. ; "Its gonna be tough" he says "i'm 44 years old,..the energy ain't the same that it was when you were 40 -( laughs)" = Haggins says that "Writing poetry" and blogs at his www.theGreenhouseEffectRocks.com is his pride and joy and that he can 'communicate' his ideas of rage, unforgiveness, hatred, and various emotions through political poetry and Songs; "Alot of people out there think that so called 'right-wing' people don't bleed or cry - that all we do is wake up each day and salute the flag and go look for a little wimp to beat up but thats NOT TRUE " says Higgins " I AM A LITTLE WIMP !!,...thats what makes my music the best in the world ,..I have been through alot of trials and struggles,...People have always hated and disrespected me,..it started with my family ,..but I try to maintain my beliefs in God but I see it through like God's 'folly' that ya know "Life is a hillarious tragedy,..ya gotta love the 'art' behind life,.." ALL OF THIS IS WHAT MAKES ME STATE OF THE ART; THE BEST IN THE WORLD - I 'AM' PURE DEFEAT - THE BIGGEST LOSER EVER,....my music just has to be good " (Laughs)... Hagins says that One of his favorite artists is Batlord and their album "Music to be buried to",..."I like Batlord and Under the Sun ,..whose album was produced by Rush producer Terry Brown " Those are important melodic rockers,..Chris Shryack is important magical weird prog rock,...Him and keyboardest Matt Evidon formed some of the best arty rock that I have ever heard,....Some people would say that some of the bands that I like ,..sorta like Genesis and Tony Banks - are cheesey ,..but I like Cheese !! My favorite band ever is Rush !!The 'story' of Greenhouse Effect has to be one of the weirdest things ever; A rock band that was 'supposed to have made it huge - but didn't" "Its like something that wasn't meant to be " says Hagins "Alot of people inside the entertainment recording industry automatically hate conservatives ,..so certainly they are gonna hate Clark Hagins the exact same way that they hate Rush limbaugh or Sarah Palin,..thus,..they are not gonna give my music a chance by default !! They probobly never even listened to my demo tapes or looked at our glossys way back then in 87',1988 and 89 through 91,...they never gave us a chance and whats funny is even back then when i was young I just 'knew' this !! 'THATS' Why we never made it ( Actually they probobly stole all my ideas n shit just like I suspect though),..creeps like Bam Magazine are not as 'open-minded' as they claim to be,...and today (as then) all you see promoted is Liberal oriented shit like Perez Hilton,.....well, Perez Hilton has NO TALENT; HE CAN'T SING, HE CAN'T WRITE SONGS, THE GUY IS A FUCKING JOKE. PERIOD. END OF STORY !!""Brandy" what with it's devestating chorus song part of ; "Are you making up your mind - you know they do that all the time" is a 'in-the-shower' singalong music fan's dream !!
