I just want t make a comment about some of the statements flying around. Augie, I am truly sorry that you have decided that I am the great Satan. I was the one that stood up for you when the crew and my partners, led by Dickey, wanted you gone. I fought until I was told that the entire crew was going to quit because of your negative and confrontational attitude and all three of my partners, led by Dickey, left me all alone in your defense. Now this. Please, this is not the place for this. Please take the "advice" you gave me and "show some growth". I want to make a statement: The Allman Brothers Band reached a point several years ago where we had two options to choose from. 1) Split up!! 2) Try and make a go of it without Dickey (and, we truly weren't sure if this was possible). These were the ONLY options on the table. As much as we hated option two, option one was worse. This is reality. What has happened since is reality. What everyone thinks or wishes was reality is not. There is no perfection in this life. We are always faced with hard choices and our lives are formed by which direction we choose. No matter what Red Dog says, I did not lead the way to what happened. I may have been the most outspoken but that is my nature. I talk too much. Gregg and Jaimoe tend to keep their opinions to themselves much more than I. Bottom line is what I stated above. We have had a wonderful time playing the music that we have played since we had to make that choice. Many people have had a few hours of joy because we made that choice. As much as I wish that we were never forced to make that choice that just isn't reality. WE HAD NO CHOICE!! That is a fact. Please try and understand what I just said and let's get on with life based on reality and stop fantisying about the "what if's".
