Life Letter of the Day

Phil Fischer responds to yesterday’s “Open Letter to Phil Fischer”:
Dear Mr. Anonymous Starbucks Executive,
Let me apologize about offending you.
The fact that I am a Christian was never meant to offend anyone, and I am sorry if it offended you or anyone else at Starbucks or anyone else in Seattle.
I’m from the Yukon and Alaska originally and they make em dumb up there. I dropped out of 8th grade so there is a good excuse for the pathetic attempt I made.
I made the stupid assumtion that my CD would make a fine addition to the other music you carry on your shelves. But “Its who you know I guess” that still runs the music industry, even at Starbucks. I only say that because some of my “good” friends are sitting on your shelves now.
Maybe I should have faked it like they did, but I cant deny my God. Please try however not to categorize me with anyone religious. I don’t believe in religion, wars, Bush, or anything you try to categorize us with. I do however believe in a man born 2000 years ago that died on the cross for me and pulled me out of the mess I was in. You say that I should loose the hummer. I have went through 3 engines trying to push bio diesel through it and since it gives off less fumes than a Subaru cut me a break OK? What more must I do to drive my truck?
With regards to my distant chances of getting a deal with HEAR, I can’t say I blame you for your comment.
Even thoughtmy first album was completed before I found Christ, the mere fact that I am a Christian probably scares the hell out of you guys up there so message received loud and clear. No problem. I still think your coffee kicks ass.

Phil
Grammar, dammit, grammar! He has to learn about the present perfect and the simple past before he can write letters to editors!
i'm sorry, but this starbucks vs. creepy guy begging to be on starbucks' shelves saga needs to end now. do not post anything else related to the matter.
please, i beg of you. you're killing me with boredom.
To the contrary: This is maudlin Christian Self Pity at its finest. Keep it up.
I dunno, it's like picking on the retarded kid at school.
No, picking on the retarded kid at school just means that you should be lit on fire.
Phil strikes me as a douche. So he put out an album and now he thinks the world owes him a living. Big fucking deal.
Newsflash Phil... you and everyone who has ever said "let get a band together", owns a laptop, microphone and a CD burner... all the way up to the folks who pay $10,000/hr for studio and production work feel the same way... that everyone should buy their work because it is PURE GENIUS.
And you know what else Phil... everyone one of them prays to a supreme being that the fruits of the art feeds the stomach. That and hopefully the number of albums distributed as free "give-ways" don't out number the actual numbers of albums sold for cash money.
You're a douche because you can't handle rejection and because you belittle anyone who doesn't agree with you on your genius. Listen to your God and give the ego a rest. And no Phil, people don't hate you because of how who feel about Jesus (ok, some do), they hate you because you are a no-talent prima donna. Cultivate those 500,000 fans that you already have (if you actually have them) and quit annoying me. And if you have to leave the country to do so... I won't stop you from leaving.
summed up nicely by Seattle98104 and Phenics. Enough!
