Guest guest Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Hi Nikki I think it is only natural for family to protect one another.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Ah and perhaps I misunderstood what you meant by: " > You must have a different Bad Company than our Bad Company because the lead singer, well no one at all from the band was named Paul Roger. " I thought that you meant the band itself and then after replying thought perhaps there were two bands with the same name. Which would be quite possible.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 fer my side...it didn't have much of a peer pressure issue to it... i could care less wot others thought of me...... i was the only kid in my skool with *funny* hair..and dealt with it, generally horribly, on a daily basis *shrug* earthstrm <nikkimack Oct 21, 2005 4:09 AM Re: First Gigs... But Jo you must admit that sometimes Peter is... (sorry, couldn't resist!) I do know what you mean though, it is that natural motherly instinct to protect and defend our child(ren) at all costs. I think Fraggle meant more from a cultural stand point that it was strange to him. Most teens in the US want nothing to do with their parents in a public setting. It's a peer pressure / independence type thing. I do have to say though that I know Peter is well aware of how you would protect him if need be. In fact I mentioned to him offlist that Fraggle or I may not let him leave the states and he pretty much said that we would then have to contend with you and it could get ugly. But you must know at that point I said that we would keep you too!

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Hi Jo LOL - I never even thought of it that way! I think you would make an excellent Gramma! Not thinking of a Gramma as the traditionally pictured older blue-haired lady who sits in a rocker all day. More like a cool Gramma who could hang out. Someone who could be a good friend, lend advice, hang out and have a supportive role as well. Zak likes metal too amongst other music - the three of us would definately have fun! Yes, I do think I would have a great time with you at a concert!

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Now, ya see, the problem is that prenatally he probably had the same reaction to opera that I did. It probably made his soon to be teeh ache <g> when we lived in the Bay Area, we went to the symphany and opera and ballet on a regular basis. I loved the symphany and ballet but hated the opera! Muscials, I love. Even operetta I can enjoy but I hated opera! I like a lot of country but can't stand George Jones. The man is obnoxious and couldn't carry a tune with two people to help him carry the basket! Leann Rymmes or however the heck you spell her name has a beautiful voice and can cover 3 octaves! I guess what I like is individual musicians and singers. Although I generally see rap as crap!

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 It's ok Fraggle, i do know what you mean! And I don't think it is a bad thing you and your father didn't hang out. I think it is a good thing Jo did with her kids. But mayhaps you want to start a new trend... like for instance you can borrow the Zak Man and take him out.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Hi Nikki I think we saw them once after the Load album, but it wasn't as good.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 LOL! But you see Jo, I wouldn't fear the heavies. It's the loving protective Mom's ya have to watch out for. They fight with their lives. Don't worry. I promise that we will not hurt him in any way. We'll even send pics to you of what a great time he is having seeing the sights. Just kidding - I could never do that. And I know that you know that, but there is always that fear in the back of people's minds. Especially on a travel of that distance. Besides, even though there is a lot to do here in Chicago and by Fraggle, after awhile everyone wants to be home.
