I saw them just after Gavin Friday left the band, I saw the Prunes too, and I saw Gavin Friday 2 times live...it was great and for sure their music definitly change my life and was a big inspiration for my own music in my bands Les Tetines Noires/LTNO !

The sun was out, and I was blinded by it´s light. Heavy clouds came rolling in, and my mind darkened - would I ever see the ray of sunshine again? Heavy rain fell, and I thought - this is the end, of a story long gone. But - after the the rain had passed by - I spotted a stem, rapidly growing before my very eyes. What was this unknown? Was it a weed - was it a rose - was it a cucumber??? A huge bud suddenly appeared, and within moments, all it´s petals unfolded - revealing the most wonderful flower, with colours of every nuance, the most spectacular thing you could ever see. So here it is, in full bloom - for everyone to witness. The seed lay hidden, well beneath the soil. The sun was out, and I was blinded by it´s light.

Fitting. I had grown in an apathy state of disillusion on ever seeing Gavin perform again...it had been, 16 years for me. We kept missing one another in 96....had tix for Montreol, and missed it. Missed him in Fla...by 3 blocks, 2 days, and 7 hours.... missed him in Phil/NY, by a week, and I know we passed one another on the i-state95... he heading south...me heading north, before my ' New Mexico, desert retreat...exploration of the beast within. we passed one another on that as well..he in Co, me one state below... was not meant to be...???? SO, it was well worth the wait.. Hal told me it would be the 'greatest show on earth' the week before at MAarianne's concert.. I had taken his word, however, he did not prepare me for the 'mind blwoing' expereince.. I was in good company in the front row, dead center...nice energy flowing all around, next to, and behind me... Gavin's friends/family...were so warm, comfortable to be around... wish I had gone back stage...to say 'thanks'and Happy Birthday. security was tight, however, I know I could have just dropped in... and sadly did not 'crash' the party...not my style..if not invited. HOwever in this case, I may have tried, just was too blown away, and respectful to the party. I did need to speak to HAL, so I did have an excuse. No regrets. I wish I had covered the man in RED ROSES....AFTER BLOOD ON THE BRUISE.. I ran out of time getting in/to the show... just made it on time..I was told that other fans did have flowers to give, but could not get down to the stage to deleiver them. I do regret with the seats I was in, that I did not have them with me....the stage deserved to be covered!!! So, to all there... THIS SHOW, was a great gift he gave to the fans, and if were there for 'others' as some were...I know they are now investigating, and checking out this 'cat' known as Friday...I spoke to a few of them after the show. You got the attention of new fans!! Gavin if you read these, and I WONDER... please know this show meant a great deal to me for many reason..many of my closest frieds, and even family were tied to you in some way..and are now, 'over the rainbow'...it was an 'emotional powerful trip'...and I had to make Dennis aware of this fact...HE LOVED THE SHOW AS WELL....BLEW HIM AWAY... what nice frieds you have...keep them always close to your heart..I know you will... and who knows, perhaps one day...next year on the 2010 tour..will run into you and say 'Hello'..and will finally have your flowers for you...better late, and from the heart if that helps my carelessness...I was told by that 'inner voice'....get the Man flowers... I did the 50 ting this year...'life goes on', and man...what ever you are doing..keep up the great work...I am into anti-aging/energy medicine...have my grad degree in this... you seem to have stumbled onto something that is working well, or you were blessed with great genetix...maybe both. Please know,that even your older fans...with the complications of life, in this dark period of man, have never forgoton you..nor the 'timelessness of your art'... It was an honor to have been there, in the place where the 'angles' arranged for me to be seated. I am still sending the 'feather of light' from the cosmos...it will find you, if it has not already, and one touch of it, and you will know...where you are.. All you need to do is give permission for it to come..and it shall. Stay well, and best wishes for a great 50th year! Hope to see you on tour next year... Hal is a genius...pure and simple...Hope to see him for a future project we spoke about, that he is going to work on...It will be another in MADhattan... I will let him release the details, as it all unfolds..It is a group, that many will travel for as they did for you...and they are as you, artist of integrity...so rare these days.. Glad that the window opened,and 'art fuck' as well as your style of 'torch' flew in....was always there, now, all know the secret of your great hidden talent...It is your call what you choose to do with it... NO MORE THOSE BAD REVIEWS...ever.... I do not really even recall them, in my heart there were none.... THE SHOW....WAS PURRFUCK!! MEOW'S & BRAVO!!The show made me as Wilde states in his 'De Profundis' when one comes in contact with the soul, it makes one simple as a child, as Christ said one should be....and so I am for a time..you have made me a bit of a child again, the Majik, is still upon me for the moment...and I hope shall last a little longer...until the next release.The jade, has new luster. The scars are there, just not feeling them...the hope for 'art' to come back has me spell bound..you do make a difference, on the scene not just as 'MASTER POPtician'...unless that is what makes you happy...seeing your input helping others grow in their art, and that is a wonderful ting to do. WE ALL KNOW YOU ARE MUCH MORE THAN THAT!! Not sure what else to say, except a heartfelt thanks...for all the years, and 10/4/2009...under a full moon, looking down, and smiling... I shall never forget it...blessings to you, and all who helped in the warm intimite setting...just like an empty beautiful church....same feeling...I know you understand what I mean....
