I must now share with you Dave’s response to Pierre’s email letter.

Pierre-I totally understand the importance of religion among people of all races/creeds/etc., even if I don’t possess faith in any organized religion. I just found Common’s statements absurd, and, as Charles pointed out, nonsensical. The idea that God is involved in the minutiae of a recording session just strikes me as ludicrous. And to dedicate an album to God for which He/She/It supposedly is responsible just adds to the ridiculousness. DS
