I’ve found this online quote allegedly from Jack Marin’s Official Live Journal (I don’t visit his LJ, so I wouldn’t know…)…just explaining his choice in leaving the band Cute Is What We Aim For.

“A little over 6 months ago I decided I was going to stay home from touring. I was over working for bands because I missed being in one. Less than a month later, out of the blue, I received a phone call asking me to play bass in Cute Is What We Aim For. I accepted the offer. I was given a great opportunity to travel the world and play in front of hundreds of new faces each night. At first when I joined the band everything was great and everyone seemed happy. But shortly after, I started having some personal issues with another member. I’ve tried to just ignore the problems, but the truth is, I’m just not happy at all.

This is a decision that I’ve been debating for weeks. Even as I was getting ready to tell the guys, I was still wondering if I was making the right decision. But I’ve finally decided that it’s in my best interest to leave this band as soon as possible. It’s a matter of principle and to me, being in the band just isn’t worth what I have to deal with.

In the past 6 months I’ve had some great experiences, met some amazing people and made many good friends. So, to anyone that has come out to a show, or anyone that has supported me, thank you.

My personal thoughts….I hope these boys can find a bass player and keep him tied down somehow. They all seem the be floating away like helium balloons left unattended at the park. I’m gonna miss Jack….he was so nice to me!! They all were nice, of course…but he was just so happy all the time. I dunno.

I haven’t made any speculations as to who he was having conflict with in the band….and it troubles me that people are assuming it was a certain lead singer. Get over it. Sometimes people can’t get along. Plain and simple. Don’t accuse someone and label them a bad person for no reason.
