First off, congratulations Matthew and April! that news really lifted my
spirits. welcome to the planet, Ray Cameron.

alright. well, no one has responded about it. i wish i knew why. yr probably
all too busy hanging over the toilet bowl. or yr wringing yr hands together
wishing you could get them on his little neck. ;) or you all just don't care
anymore. i don't know. i don't know guys, but i just cannot seem to fathom
this::

and baby, i know it's nobody's business but yours, but when you release it..
it becomes mine and everyone elses too. but it makes me... ill. and no, i
never expected him to be SG part duex. but i didn't expect luther vandross
impersonations either. and maybe it's just *me* having difficulties
here...but...

i hate to break it to you chris, but R&B is a fad at this point. [and i know
the whole thing won't be R&B people, don't reply to me with that] just wait
honey, your pretty pale face and your "sexy body" in your tight clothing will
be pasted everywhere for the girlies to enjoy. the dave navarro hair will be a
big plus as well. keep it up babe! you could end up on Adult-Oriented Soft
Rock 104.5 here in phila! *sigh*


...anyhoo, the garbage truck in "sunshower" was an amusing little facto, but
the info that eleven has seemingly SO much input/so much creative power with
this album... i dunno. just makes my stomach hurt. and especially the fact
that this is a RS article...RS of all magazines! the mag he totally trashed
all throughout 1996 for what they did to eddie. what did he call it? something
about not worth wiping your ass with or something along those lines? and he
lets them have the inside scoop and photograph him in the "studio" eleven
has... it doesn't make sense to me. not a bit.

the man doesn't need to bow down and do articles with them, he is popular
enough as it is. and if the songs are as pop-40 as i'm now scared they will
be... he'll never need media again.

think i'm taking it too seriously? too bad. music is my life, my love, and
it's going to be there every step of the way with me till i leave this place.
and this man's music led me down that path in the first place and to see/hear
him becoming...this? i don't know. just leaves me disoriented or something.

and another thing, if you haven't yet seen the RS, be prepared to be annoyed
by the photo as well. [i guess] i was prepared to buy it, it was new chris
info! but man, chris where did you go?

the Great Expectations soundtrack?
