For real!
25 years?  Pah!
I'm up to 30 years of fandom!

>Gosh, I am *tired*......off to.....nap...............

I wish my 3+ yo would say that.

Yes Alan, well done!
If you need a legal assistant, there's this guy in LA that could
possibly help.

Dr. Mc....
That sounds like a movie title!

Well done, Mc.
Really, you must be proud, as you should be.
Not to poke, but I just find it funny to see how far you've come.
>From punch-in-the-face taking drunk, to law school grad.

How will you ever shake that image (getting punched in the face)?????
I can't shake it.
I love it!

Congrats, again.

And already filled with 400 wet ass kisses.
How does he find the time to read all that???????????
I really hope this doesn't cause him to stop posting diary entries.
I'll take a diary entry once a week over constant blogging.

Sorry,...ass-kissing is a bit harsh.
But.....
It sure is wet over there.

Ya know, I was in the same boat.

You've got good reason to be worried.  He's worried too.
But, given the kind of voice he has and the kind of singing (abuse) he's
given it, I think he gets more leeway than most.
He'll do fine. He'll have some rough spots, but he'll be 'alright.'

With a grand "because we f***ing can", and a critics be damned!

Dreamer!
Nothing but a dreamer!
Something-something with your head in your hands.....OH NO!

Sorry, couldn't resist.
And I agree with your post!
Welcome to the world of disappointing optimism.
Or, at least of disappointment.


A few comments about Rabbit's diary posts..........
************************************************************************
*
In just a few diary posts, I'm sensing again Rabbit's frustration with
not being a creative member of the band.  With just 'doing what he's
told' and with   I hope he can find some chemistry with the boys to help
him feel more apart of the bigger picture.

I'm also alarmed at his most recent post about being sober. 
I didn't know he was fighting the fight.
And, I'm hearing that he has indeed just gone through a life battle.
I thought a while back that he just didn't look (or sound) well.

Finally, Shirley there was a better picture of him to put up on his web!
;-)
But, maybe that's how he's feeling, now that he's riding on the wagon.
Let's hope touring doesn't throw him off.
