I
had to do a search to see who Hejira and LukeA were speaking of. Big sigh of relief. "I never said Fleetwood Mac had a new cd half-recorded, LukeA didn't mean me, did he?'--biting a xanax in half
"I never wrote Stevie would have the cd released in June, did I?" No, maybe I'd hoped, publically, that the recording would be completed in June for an August/September release.
I sort of wondered if Luke using 'prolific' could be a kind way of saying 'Kol sure needs an editor' (agreed) and I saw 'crazy' and thought '
ut-oh' !!
And I
have mentioned Liz Rosenberg recently (mainly, to point out that Liz Smith had an exclusive this year on wow.com that Liz R actually had been ousted from Warner Brothers but was allowed to say it was her decision to open her own p.r. firm- Not the case, she was dumped.)
After about 15 minutes, I found the Ledgie author whom Hejira and LukeA were referring to and paranoid me was relieved, or the xanax kicked in. I do try to make my humor intentional, when I use it. I can be funny as hell, damn it.
Completely serious, here, I think LukeA is incredibly brilliant, and okay, I hang on every word when I see he has contributed, because I know 'informed' when I read it. I've never read Luke not to be able to back up what others objected to, by providing balanced information of the concert industry, that he's proven to have first-hand knowledge of, and sources for his information. I disagreed
once with Luke about something trivial, in a Stevie Nicks or Fleetwood Mac forum, on the merits of Linda Ronstadt's "rock years", but I saw his points and thought maybe that I'd expressed mine, rationally, if too-wordily. Then, I wondered why I even bothered, on The Ledge!
I've also liked Hejira's writing, and his killer photographs, his travelogue of sorts (wrong word?) during the European 'Unleashed' tour with his stellar photographs were awesome. He and I had a recent 'disagreement' over something minor- a tourbook, and actually, I was wrong to be so persistent. The dude (Hejira) doesn't live in the Netherlands, so really only people in The Netherlands could answer the question I was asking. Hejira had once reported of an 'All Access' a fan-package that included a would-be Unleashed tourbook and was
kind enough to share the information he had gotten from All Access, but he didn't buy the package, and doesn't live in Europe, the only place the would-be Unleashed tourbook was being mailed to, not to the United States, which he had specified, and I 'missed'.
So, my apology to Hejira. I was wrong to be so stubborn.
But this time: It wasn't me, it wasn't me.* Go to sleep, self!

This time!
P.S. I just spilled half of a half-gallon of milk on the floor. I thought I had the top on tight. I thought I reached the top shelf when I put the milk bottle in the fridge. Bright side- still plenty of milk for the morning coffee. Afternoon coffee. Whatever.
'Chit Chat' topic- I remember Westlake Village, signs all over the place. Why is Heather Locklear being prosecuted for hitting a sign and not reporting it? Why can't she just pay to have the sign put back up? "Hello, 911, I hit a sign" sheesh--- it's not like it was a person! This was caught on a security camera of sorts? Here, in CT, security cameras at red lights in New Haven were voted as being an invasion of privacy. She did 'Dynasty' and 'TJ Hooker' at the same time! Let her knock over a sign, b*tches! I don't like 40-something blondes to be arrested...makes me nervous.
