re: TGBFTL is not the same

I agree whole heartedly with your assessment. I am a TGBFTL alum from the 80s when Linda was very new to the job. I'll admit, she was a HUGE BITCH most of the time, but we all still respected her to a degree. She knew what the frick she was doing, even at such a young age.
The band suffered during the mid 80s through early 90s after its longtime music arranger died, and a power struggle between the partiers (JUMAS, etc.) and the band's admin. They had to clean out the rowdy folks (I'll admit, I was one of those...
anyone remember Gainesville 86 & 88?)
After Linda started having a bit more creative control is when the band really started becoming one of the best in the nation, culminating in winning the Sudler Trophy and that ESPN/Raiders of the Lost Ark thing.
I never really liked Linda when I was in band, but I sure as hell respected her and everything she did for Tiger Band. Not only should she have been made Director of Bands, she should have been next in line as Dean of the School of Music & Dramatic Arts. She certainly had the CV to support such a position. Instead, after giving 25 years to LSU, she was shite on.

I guess that's what happens when you're a bitch. I know nothing about the situation other than multiple people saying she was a bitch.
Ya gotta know whose a$$ to kiss instead of being a bitch all of the time.

My granddaughter was a Golden Girl from '07 - '10. She shares your opinion on Linda - much respect and talent.
I never paid much attention to the band unless she was there.
