[Blindtlk] you're a liability!

Sun May 31 22:34:10 UTC 2009

Well, for my part, this is what i have to say.  I first encountered him 
because of the song, "Only God Knows Why", at least, I think that's what 
it's called...you most likely know the one I'm talking about.  It touched me 
because in the song, he complains about the falseness of being famous and 
the fact that nobody seems to understand all the stuff he'd been through.  I 
was in Omaha at the time I encountered the song.  The verse that first 
really struck me was the one, "People don't know all the things I say and 
do.  They don't understand all the sh-- that I've been through...".  Anyhow, 
my point is this.  While I cannot call myself a fan of his by any stretch of 
the imagination, (I actually don't like most of his stuff.) I am quite 
willing to admit that even this 44-year-old does occasionally encounter 
something moving in today's so-called music.

I have a feeling that if he really knew all the stuff that happened to you 
at the hands of his own security people, he would not like it.

Sincerely,
The Constantly BAREFOOTED Ray

Regardless if you're under 30 or over 30, it makes him someone with a lot
more money than most of us will ever see. LOL. And he is generous with it
too.

That's funny that people who haven't followed him for as long of a period as
I have, and as extensively as I have, want to speculate on the age of his
following, because it's certainly way off. There are people of all ages,
incomes, careers, and all walks of life  at his shows. This comes from a
person who has followed him extensively. I get google alerts on him as they
happen, so about fifty or so a day, and I check his site regularly. I also
go on you tube and other sources and find interviews he's done, etc. I check
literally everything having to do with him to get my information. This
summer, for example, and last summer, he has toured with Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Skynyrd's audience is certainly not the under 30 crowd. So they wouldn't put
two acts like that together if their audiences weren't nearly alike.

I think it's better to let someone who has put time and effort into
following him over the years answer this question than someone who is just
merely speculating.  LOL.
