People post about these singers they really don't know as if they are part of their real life (and I watch a couple soaps still), and I am uncomfortable with some of it. I have never ever listened to or watched any music that made me weep or fall to my knees or any of this, hoping it is exaggeration. I don't get the whole Elvis hysteria and keeping his toenail clippings, and I think some are building Miss Nicks up into some kind of cult figure and I don't know what to make of it that can be positive or interesting, but then I am not a real fan or collector of memorabila (nobody is allowed to forget some of these people) or any of that serious stuff I guess.

Well, I don't know about you- but lots of music (not just "Silver Springs") has moved me to tears at one moment or another. Music really stirs my soul- it doesn't have anything to do with worship, toenails, blah, blah- and it CERTAINLY doesn't have anything to do with the idea that performers are part of my life...

My post was primarily about the fact that I know that FM was doing some kind of reunion thing over the summer of '97. I had no clue what material they were going to do- and like a lot of other fans, I was really hoping for something different. "Silver Springs" was a TOTAL surprise to me. My reaction was more out of shock and pleasant surprise than out of worship or soap opera drivel.
