Apology -- from the heart...

I'm just gonna speak from my heart... It took a word (a.k.a. reality check) from someone I really respect as a person & as an artist, to remind me that while I was trying to prove a point, I wound up hurting his feelings in the process.

I could make excuses and say "oh, people sometimes say things out of anger," but I won't even go there. In fact, I'm just gonna say this...

I'm NOT angry with YOU -- and as I re-read an earlier post, I saw my words through YOUR eyes.

Thank you Rennie Foster, for holding the mirror up to me. Thank you for pulling me aside and making me see that in my haste to discuss my hatred towards an unfair industry, I said some things that really didn't need to be said. I don't want ANYONE to get the impression that our collaboration was anything LESS than that -- a collaboration.

I know we spoke in private about this, but I wouldn't feel right as a PERSON, if I didn't come forward publicly to extend my apologies to you. After all, if I can go through such great lengths to acknowledge the wrongdoing of others, I can ALSO take the SAME measures to acknowledge when I'M wrong...

I sincerely apologize...
AC
