This is most of the transcript of the chat with SOA. Just a bit in the
beginning and the end is missing.



Misciara is the spokesperson for SOA

MB is Michael B

ST is Sonny T

Tommy barberella has the handle tommyb. Makes sense, doesn't it?

Misciara mentiones the name of the person whose question she is answering
first, then the name of the person who is answering it.

Misciara:2FREAKY-MB says: What you should understand is that I have no
interest in "New Music" recorded by
Prince. Most of the songs are rehashed from old. And KJ's ideas means as
much to me as Princes when it comes to drums.



lalalahehehe7: I already asked but I wanted 2 know if they get more
enjoyment out of playing now that their lyrics R more
of a positive nature??



Misciara: lala-ST says: I think that lyrics and positive reinforcement is
alot better than what we've seen about all these
women in Central Park being molested.



godislove: What inspires U, 2 create music? How has this changed over the
years?



Misciara: godislove-ST says-God. He never changes.



GoldExperience: here's my questions: 1)Mike B and Sonny T, how do you feel
about Prince's decision to no longer
swear? You guys used to swear with him and 2)Will you tour Rhode Island?
Prince never came here



Misciara: Gold-We don't know if he stopped swearin or not and yeh, we'll be
there!



gettoff:ok....my question is:....since you guys seem to always have at
least a couple of projects going at the same
time....do u ever feel like youre spreading yourselves thin musically when
it comes to your primary project.....and by the
way...is SOA your primary vision now?



Misciara: gettoff-ST says-No. and yes SOA is our primary vision now. MB
says-ST and I started SOA as a catharsis.
Our goal really began from looking within.



Misciara: Vashti-MB says the common bond between us is that we believe
Jesus Is Lord.



Misciara: 2FREAKY-MB says change your handle and call us back!!!



2FREAKY4CHURCH: I cant, My name marks me..wink



Neves Love Slave: Any plans to work on a soundtrack album?



Misciara: Neve-MB says-Yeh we had a song ready for the SHAFT soundtrack,
but had no way of reaching LaFace
Records.



Misciara: drclay-MB says-In spite of my 7 year tenure with Prince, cursing
still offends me. ST-and always has cuz MB
never cursed!



matt: misciara: The liner notes of Exodus made reference to a planned
followup... was any work done on it?



Misciara: Matt_MB says no, not with us.



2FREAKY4CHURCH: matt..They hate Prince..ask about their band..



Misciara: 2FREAKY-ST says I grew up with Prince, I taught him how to sing
and play and I still love him. He knows I
love him. Everytime I see him we talk, but I'm into a new thing now.



2FREAKY4CHURCH: Prince's best songs are his dirty ones..



Misciara: 2FREAKY-MB says I agree, that's what's wrong now. He's pretending
to be someone he's not.



Misciara: Misciara says- Michael is not editing himself, that's just who he
is!



Misciara: drclay-ST says We're only human, right. The universe has rules,
why shouldn't man?



sovictor: (Great job, Misciara) Any worries that the "Almighty" in your
band's name might be mistakenly thought of as a
reference to Prince?



JamieeStarr: Hey Sonny, Prince once said he grabbed a bass when an idea for
a song hit him. How do you record, do
you grab the bass to get an idea down or try a melody on piano?



Misciara: Jamie-ST says I just write coming from my heart then to my head
because I see the symmetry of the tune. Then
some things need to be changed because of timing, sonics, or harmonics.



tommyb: almighty = prince? nope



Misciara: sovictor-MB says Laughing- I don't see how it possibly can be.



rool: Any comments on Napster?



tommyb: i don't hate prince at all



Misciara: rool-ST says-I see it as stealing. If it comes out in a jacket
and it's recorded to be sold, then it's stealing. If it
comes out in the store and you get it before, that's stealing.



Misciara: drclay-MB says- My job was to play the crap outta it!
