Regarding the Green Mill Controversy

For the nonslammers on my list…this will make little sense. Bear with us.

I think a lot of the folks who are excited by the idea are missing a point: that those allegedly open competitions in the semi-finals and finals are open only to those hand chosen by Marc and his chosen associates at a previous opportunity.

Strikes me as a distinct violation.

I would never have qualified in a competition like this. I am not a fan of group work, and my work doesn’t lend itself well to collaborative adaptation. I would have felt locked out of this type of thing. If other slams in the area are not doing well, as I’ve heard, then it pretty much would have locked me out of NPS contention altogether.

I guess my biggest question is this: why does Marc get this kind of a pass from so many of you? If it were being done somewhere else, people would be all over it.

Kill yr. idols.

PS: I don’t suppose Marc has any idea already who he will be choosing, does he?
