This asterisk: "Yes*. Firstly at the original OTT show in NYC" If people on the board were nice to each other on a regular basis, it would be easy not to make the assumption that a comment like mine saying I got something, is not nice. If I believed that I was to be misconstrued as not being nice, I would not have made the post. I do not like the fact that Dave is being sponsored in his depraved rudeness, which I have no reason to doubt that Jim as an observer, would take general exception to as much as I am offended and discriminated by it. Dave makes sure he has the most to share, and then keeps the resources from the person who could make the most of its content. I don't know anymore what it is like to be a fan for the sake of being a fan, but I sure do remember what it is to be a person. I probably would have nothing but non-sequitors to say to Jim if I had not already had the history with him, even though I was trained throughout my life not to be impressed by famous people. My family is famous. My father is famous. I've had other exposures to people famous. When having an idol, it is hard when facing the difference between admiration and awe. My jaw would drop. In fact, when I met Jim as a nobody on July 9, 1992, my jaw dropped because he was so gorgeous I could not believe my eyes. Had I known then that he had all this other stuff connected with him I might simply have fainted. In 1977 his intelligence and manner made me so nervous to talk to him on the phone that I couldn't even imagine why he would talk to me and I stammered, I paused between sentences, didn't know what to say that could possibly keep his interest. It was hard, and because it was hard, it was hard for him to talk to me. For three weeks he put up with the nonsense that came out of my mouth until he realized that there was nothing to melt my anxieties. The whole line of the night being dark in Angel's Arise may be poetic, but I was so awed by my feelings about him that I couldn't just come out and say what I wanted to say, I had to wax poetic, and thank god he told me he knew what I meant. Jim without being this hugely amazing composer is a hugely amazing man who awes me at every turn. And if you were ever so lucky, any of you, to meet someone like that no matter where, you would understand. You would also understand how much I love him. | |
