What people are saying
Before speculation or conjecture try to rear their ugly, & needless, head – my decision was simply rooted in creative differences. The truest, & least sexy, answer
I am grateful for Court & his team of good-hearted crew & creative, & I am most grateful for the boys who taught me & embraced me.
If anyone cares to bad mouth me & or rewrite my contributions to MLW, I have receipts & I have friends in high places
