That reminds me of my horoscope.

Ha ha ha.  I got a fortune cookie last week that pertained to God (with a capital g).  And I was all "But the majority of China doesn't believe in God".  It also wasn't a fortune at all, but that's a different story.

The best fortune cookie I've gotten said "When you squeeze an orange, orange juice comes out- because that's what's inside." Just a little reminder in case I had forgotten where orange juice came from.

I think it's something you're supposed to relate to humans... Well... what DOES come out when you squeeze a person?

My favorite I have ever witnessed (sadly, it wasn't mine) was "You will have a new wardrobe".

I know. But I was up sooooo late last night....almost as late as you. I just couldn't drag myself out of bed this morning. And, I don't have a DVR. I'm still in the dark ages with my VHS.

I MISSED IT!

I went to a wedding last night and forgot to DV-R it! I woke up to it this morning, my mom was blaring it from in the living room.

I have it written down and I'm DV-R'ing it on Aug 5th at 4am.

Shannon, I can burn a copy for you afterwards if you want one.

I'm splitting it right now and will put it on mediafire/megaupload. �It will be 4-5 parts. �If you would like it, PM me because I don't want to post the link. �In your PM let me know if megaupload absolutely does not work for you.


Edit:  Uploading now.  It's gonna be over 3 hours to upload, so I'm not ignoring requests, it's just gonna take a while.

No, I thik A&E are idiots for playing at 9am...unless they played it at a different time at night.

I thought it was failry good. They had "Before it's too late" and I love it. Unfortunately, not "let love in".

I kinda agree that Mike had a lot to do with them being successful. Not logically,but he was like a good luck charm. Maybe it was just getting rid of George and having anybody in.

Video.  If you want audio, request that someone else make it for you.  Between this and the bootleg from last night I'm trying to make acceptable, I'm a bit overloaded.  :D

I sometimes wonder what would have happened to the band if they had chosen a different drummer.  I think Mike was absolutely perfect from what we see of the band.  John and Robby are such huge personalities and I think they needed someone laid back who was dependable and content not to be the center of attention.

I really liked this interview. It was on of the better ones I've seen with them in awhile despite all the "you knows".  ;)

Post by the red o on Jul 30th, 2007, 5:40pm
I liked the interview aside from the following points:

1.  Host's hair.  Make it shorter or get layers in the front.  Or at least push it behind your shoulders. (I know, shallow, but I really do think her hair makes her look awful.)

2.  I think John has memorized answers to some questions or he is a robot.  I know the exact words he will use for some answers before he says them.  The one I remember right now is John talking about his musical upbringing.  

3.  John, seriously, I adore you and I think you're probably a pretty smart guy, but please don't ever try to talk about quantum mechanics again.  Take my word, it's for your own good.

I agree...the hosts hair is not flattering.

I never realized I had so much in common with John. His mom played the flute. I actually didn't know that. I played the flute for 7 years. I was also a social worker for 7 years. I guess 7 is the magic number. Anyways, we'd have tons to talk about....lol

I agree some of John's answers are identical to that of Behind the Music. I think these interviewers need to find more inventive questions.

That is magical.  That must be why we get along so well ;)  What's with the 7 year thing? 3 has always been my magic number. I might have had it wrong all along. Maybe I need to change it to 7.

I really wanted to be a 9 year flute player, but my teacher was a jerk and it was dragging down my GPA, so I had to quit.  Actually, the only time I truly loved playing the flute was when I had a broken arm and used the rod for cleaning to itch under my cast.  :D

LMAO. It's a good thing I wasn't drinking my coffee when I read this or I would have spit it out.

See now me....I loved playing. I miss it *sigh*. My daughter plays now so I'll pick hers up and play every now and again.
