Listen GUTEMBERG! I'm not really sure how to answer your question here. I'm actually not sure what the question is.
However, I do know that martial arts is awesome. I invented one called Kealey Kwon Do which is far superior to any other type of martial art. With Kealey Kwon Do I can kick really good and also punch hard. Some examples of moves that are exclusive to Kealey Kwon Do that would destroy anybody in a fight are: -The Four Fingered Flip -Distracto Punch -Tongue 'n' Groove -The Patella Pincher If you even saw these moves, you would immediately forget all your own fighting techniques and bow before me. If you were so unlucky to be on the receiving end of one of these, you would be reading this advice from either heaven or hell, depending on how you lived your life. That's right. You would be dead. |

Lins Silva, all of this sounds great... honour tables, campaigns against the hunger, folklorics dances, and wonderful kick techniques. These are a few of my favourite things.
However there is one problem - you have no ability to write coherent English sentences. The Setbacks are a bilingual band. We speak English almost exclusively and sometimes the language of love during our more tender songs. If you can't communicate to us clearly in English (I'm afraid love is reserved for females only) then I don't think we can sit at the honour table at your Kung Fu festival. Sorry if this upsets you. |

Touring has always been very important to us. So important that we have spent the last 2 years planning a tour. This tour will potentially criss cross the world or at least southern Ontario depending if our sponsors come through.
Either way I would like it noted that Brazil is an amazing place. I have never been but I can imagine the great times that I would have there. Any country that has collectively looked at the size of women's bathing suit bottoms and said "That covers too much of the ass. I suggest that we make it smaller so that we can see more of the ass." must be a great country. |

I can't believe this! You know since I've joined this band, I've had a bunch of chance encounters with various celebrities because I play in The Setbacks. J. Englishman, Paul from The Edison Twins, Relic from The Beachcombers, Jian Ghomeshi from Moxy Fruvous, Rita MacNeil, Snow....to name but a few. You by far are the biggest celebrity to date! I can't believe this! Truly outrageous!
I have a few questions for you:
