POD--read it and vomit

I wasn't going to post this--but it is just too fucked up to be missed by anybody at this group. When did POD put their lives on the line? I wish I had been there fighting on the other side working toward their most timely demise!!

2/20/03, 4 p.m. ET) -- P.O.D. and guitarist Marcos have gone their separate ways. Vocalist Sonny indicated to fans via an email that it was an amicable split.

The email reads: "As some of you may have already heard, Marcos has chosen to pursue his own vision apart from P.O.D. Never have we imagined P.O.D. without him, but we now know this vision is bigger than the four of us. I feel that there are still so many good things in store for those of us who have put our lives on the line for what we believe in."

Sonny continued, "As for P.O.D., we will continue with the amazing privilege that has been put before us. Only because of God's grace and goodness can we look toward tomorrow. Currently we are writing the lead single for The Matrix Reloaded. We will soon begin writing our third full-length record for Atlantic Records. Coming along side of us is a longtime friend and talented musician and songwriter, Jason Truby. He brings an excitement and a fire to the table that will take P.O.D. to the next level. Through great challenges come great rewards and we're more confident now than ever of where we are going. Please continue to keep P.O.D. and Marcos in your prayers. All our love is yours."
