I am so fond of Dev's work that I consider myself a true fan of Devin Townsend but it is important (for any follower of any band) to consider the difference between Devin Townsend the artist and Devin the human being...
I love Dev's music... but I cant' say I love Dev... I don't know him! actually, I think he's kinda scary... but his music is just... loveable... in a kinda scary way...
What I want to say is... everybody has weaknesses (i dont really know how to write that word so excuse the possible mispelling... this one too...) and Devin liking or disliking another person, a gig or an entire country (i'm not saying he does) is absolutely natural... I myself dislike the US for calling themselves America given that we are America too! (I'm from Southamerica by the way) but that doesnt make me an ungrateful person or anything like it...
So... just do as he says and what I try to do with the people from the US... ignore their weaknesses (damn word again!) and focus on their many strenghts...
And now for something completely different...
European and japanese crowds are nothing compared to the southamerican crowd... just ask Dave Mustaine about Argentina or Chile...
Dev... it's your loss...
