Colin! I met you last night with my buddy Dan whom was asking you about your camera.

Your shots rock, your review is fantastic, and you’re ‘terribly’ cute. 

Will you move to southern Italy with me and have a family?

I’m not set on Italy or the family! We can totally talk locations and drop the kids.

Love,
Your biggest fan

PS can I smell your hair?

Looking forward to the Pixies post.

I was very impressed with your objective review. But one thing all reviewers (and yes, I have read them all) have missed is the ages of the fans at GLO shows. Not only are there teens, frat boys and college cuties, there is also those of us who are quite a bit older. I am well into my 50’s and a member of a group who have followed these guys for almost 2 years.  We have logged many miles to watch a show like no other.  These guys transcend age and gender.  Do we feel awkward at these shows, HELL NO! Do we rock out as much as these younger fans, HELL YES. And appreciate it much, much more.  When we are recognized by Thomas and Aaron at these shows we are asked if we are their mothers. LOL I told Aaron that once and he said did you tell them HELL NO.  While we stand in line waiting for a show, someone will always say to us “Do you know who is playing Tonight?” “Yes!” “You know it is Ghostland Observatory?” “YES!” (Oh no, we thought it was Tom Jones) “Well you know it gets pretty rowdy in there.” “Yes!” “You may have beer spilled on you” By now we are asking how many GLO shows they have attended. 3 or 4 or an occasional, “this is my first” is the usual answer. Well, This is our 10th show and we just flew 1500 miles to see them and will fly back home right after the show.  To this the response it always “No Way”. And after the show it is always “You guys rock” and we gets many hugs from all these kids. Now that is respect.  So, not all fans are young, we somewhat olders love them also. And we will continue to follow them (as long as we can).

Yep, excellent documentary.

I’m sure that Friend the Devil cover will be great. I remember when I got the DVD doc. of his band’s career (Runnin’ Down A Dream) it came with this bonus cd of songs. And one of the songs was a cover of Hank Williams’ classic “Lost Highway.” Stellar. I’m sure his abilities will find their way into this song as well.

Tom Petty is the reason I got into music. Looking forward to this, especially that “Friend of the Devil” cover
