"An Open Letter to the Public" - by CORE      Traditional "biographies" are for those who can explain themselves, their created art, and their motives inside the safety of predetermined boundaries with modern descriptors. And for those who choose these traditional methods of bio-graphing, by all means, proceed doing so. Core, however, cannot. And perhaps more accurately, Core will not. Respectfully, shouldn't works of art and music be able to speak for themselves?      You see, like a high-class job interview or mortgage application, heavy embellishment of facts are not only encouraged, but expected in order to achieve the desired outcome. That outcome, of course, being approval. But if an approval or resounding acknowledgement is founded on lies, of what use is the success that may follow?      By acknowledging and removing the useless pressure of attaining an approval based on lies, we can supply you with a few pertinent facts free of exaggeration about our band, Core.
