DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!

SEPTEMBER GURLS

I met Alex Chilton about 10 years ago in LA when he was hanging out with
Teenage Fanclub.  I was (and still am) a real big fan.  He did a show at UCLA
back in '93 that Rusty and i thought was amazing.  i was totally moved.  The
next night, my friend, Denny, said he caught the same show in Santa Barbara and
said Alex was awful; he just didn't give a shit.  And that's sad.  What can you
do?  i would love to work with Alex.  or would I?

Ok, it's safe to stop emailing me about if Dave Green, Chapple, Rusty and I are
still in the LOVE unit.  We are.  No one has told any of us otherwise, least of
all you-know-who.  i did, however, send a nice email to the poster (whom i've
always considered a gentleman) about how not to play into the sad sad rumor
mill that some people like to gengerate (not that HE generated it.  He was
making a kind statement.)  But i think it's best we concentrate on rocking the
USA and leave the B.S. where it belongs; on the grass.

At one point, i thought we'd have more new songs to feature on this tour, as
that was the plan, but i dont think you can count on that now.  Maybe next
time?  let's hope so.  We (the 4 of us) do our best  yet we still can't see
around corners.  it's the wonderful and caring support and attitude of LOVE
fans and BLEM supporters that really make it worthwhile.  That, and the sweet
memories of us onstage when we are REALLY fantastic.  But that takes
dedication, focus and courage.  We've worked very hard to achieve that in this
band.  And we very well expect to deliver that 2 weeks from now.
