Gv - Nice! I had not heard of those guys, nice'n heavy. I'll have to pick that album up for sure. Dude has an amazing voice. I'm mostly a metal fan (Ministry being my No.1) so that fits right in with my tastes. Thanks for the heads-up!

DTS - Thanks man! I've seen T1G 3 times now, soon to be 7, he's playing Ottawa 4 times this Summer. Mike is a really good guy. Here is a pic of us. Also, here is a vid I shot this Winter when he played Wakefield's Black Sheep Inn. Here's another of One. My (5 yr. old) Daughter is his biggest fan, she just loves his stuff, we invited him for dinner but he hasn't been able to join us, yet. That might change this Summer as he's staying overnight both gigs. Awesome guy, a true original.

smooches,

dck - Did you get Forensic Follies yet? Pretty unusual stuff, I think I'm more into Slaughterhouse On The Prairie and A Real Diamond In The Rough, a little more "musical" for my tastes, but I thought that maybe since you like the DCK stuff it might just be right up your alley. Check it out!

smooches,

Joe toured with Dream Theater and Kings X? I bet that was a cool show.

Ya, I don't know if you can ever classify Chickenfoot as pop music. It's definitely rock. You gotta give it up to Joe. The transition from solo work to writing in a band has to be very challenging.

GV - Thanks for the email. I'm glad you told me. I didn't recognize the email address.

Zenfish:Nothin weird really, rec companys marketing to a white audience an all white band because they thought they wouldnt make as much money from the black man, steal their vision/hard work n run....a fine example of dreamtheft Mr Zf

Hi Joe , i'm vincent, A big Fan of you and I want to know if you will play A part of my favorit album, "Surfing with the allien" When You will be in France???? I love you so much,

Cool about the Best Buy sign. I will need to check my store.

Slansh : your point is taken, & of course, marketing counts a lot, but... the RATM are followers, not clones.

... & with all my respect, Tom Morello is not really white.. he's mestizo.. & De la Rocha is semite.. so the RATM is not really what we can call an occidental white band.

Canada.....Ehhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maple leaves and pouring that maple sweetner on the world.....keep it going!! Nature and people in nature.......it all makes sense to me.....cube and mikesb......js1000js1200.....wolfie......and so many others.....and beer? I'll add it to my bathtub and have a good soak......how's that???

Guitarvibes--I'm still laughing from watching Religulous!!! Lmao seeing those crazy interviews! People believe what they believe, but they don't have to wear it on their sleeve and it's all open to debate.....fair enough! Also, where was it said that the Bible was anything but a compilation of stories written by many people from different periods of time. It's full of allegories and so many symbols that it's stupid to take it literally. It has so many illustrations and yes, fairytales. So many interpretations.......it is many works of literature put together in one volume. I read it because I love to read and extract the love and compassion therein.......the war and conflict only give a lesson about what direction I want to go to educate myself out of the morass of nonsense and hate.

My Steve and me are listening to Joe's healing music....You Saved My Life.....Strange Beautiful Music

Hugs to all my T2J friends!

Hey Everyone!

Zinc Master: I got a call from the Indy-Mini Officials, and they will have my results posted soon. I jogged a half-marathon yesterday, and will meet with my running group tonight.

JS_JS: That is awesome that you are thinking about becoming a history teacher. My older sister is a teacher as well. I thought about becoming one, but instead I decided to work in Hospitality. Some of my family members, my former neighbors, friends, and even some coworkers think I could of become a teacher, a chef, or work for some big businesses. Even though I run a lot, some say that I should quit my day job and just become a professional runner/athlete and get endorsements for it. I do want to travel around the world and also run in a race at different locations. I did jog 17 miles Monday and did a half-marathon jog (13.1 mile) yesterday. I'll be meeting with my running group later tonight. Keep in touch man.

Phydeaux_3: That sounds like an excellent idea for your birthday. Again, Happy 40th Birthday to you and enjoy. Speaking of today, today is my sister and brother-in-law's 9th Wedding Anniversary. By the way, do you live close to Toronto? The General Manager at my work place (Holiday Inn) is originally from there.

Elpp: I am surprised myself that I have these days off, even though I am on call. I just go by what days I have to work. As of right now, it is kind of slow at the Holiday Inn. It will pick up this weekend. Usually our weekends is where we are busy (Sports Teams and Weddings mostly). I do try to keep busy on my days off, but I kind of get done rather quick. I did cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping, paid all my bills, mailed out another running race form for August, and balanced the checkbook. I'm also trying to look for a second job because my rent has gone up a little bit. I also put in 30 miles of running/jogging in the last two days: 17 Monday and 13.1 (a half-marathon) yesterday. I'll be meeting with my running group later tonight. Speaking of running, how is your running/breathing tactics going for you? :)

Skippygirl: Wow, you have been busy (like me). You and your guitar playing and new office carpet, and me and my running and getting errands and cleaning done here. I'm also looking for a second job along with my former job at the Holiday Inn. One reason why is that my rent has gone up. I have not used your brain tactics much, but I will when the races pick up in the summer and fall. :)

Satriella: Hey there! What have you been up to? Hope you are doing well. :)

Igenousiceman: Great to hear from you. Glad to hear about your upcoming bike rides. Enjoy them all. :) I did a half-marathon jog last night here. I have now put in a little over 30 miles in for the past two days. I'll be meeting with my running group later tonight.

Guitarvibes: Thanks for your opinion on Chickenfoot's music. The Dalai Lama is coming to your country? I think that is cool. Are you planning on seeing him?

Michelle: Happy FOOTDAY to you to when you get yours. I am stoked and excited. What did you like best from seeing Chickenfoot in concert? Hope things are going well with you and your family. :)

GoldenGirl2: Hey there GG! I am glad to hear that your husband Steve is doing well. When is the next appointment for him? By the way, check on E-Bay for the remaining Joe CDs. That's where I found Additional Creations (Thanks again SuperSwingDog) and some of the other CDs. If you like, I can search them if you like (just say the word). What do you need to find?

Cosmic_Ape & Do The Stu: Hey guys, I was wondering how your birthdays went. What have you been up to so far? For me, I have been running more. Keep in touch.

To everyone else: Hope you are all doing well.

Joe, I praise your work and music. Keep up the excellent work and I'll be looking forward for Chickenfoot's album, your next album, and post here in this forum. It will be cool if Sammy, Michael, or Chad posted us as well.

Joe, my man! I am NOT a big fan of Sammy, but I HAVE to admit. . . he was pretty jammen last Friday night in Philly. You guys ROCKED. I just wish I knew more of the material. That's aaa-ite. I get the CD in the next day or two (I pre-ordered it ;-)

Joe. . . . darling sweet Joe. . . I have to ask you this. I have NOTHING but the utmost respect for you and your music. BUT. . . . WHAT were you thinking with that opening act????? Isn't the opening act supposed to warm up the crowd for the main artist??? I'm sure this guy has fans of his own. . . but I just don't think that a Chickenfoot crowd is the proper venue for his type of music. I, along with the people I talked to around me, were NOT in the mood for a folksy guitar playing Bob Dylan wannabe. We were there to ROCK and ROLL!!!! Again. . . no disrespect intended. I am just curious about your choice of opening act. Am I missing something?? thanks Susan

Awww, the dude was sweatin' it out up there. lol! He was good if you were listening to him, but everyone in the venue wanted to rock. I would have loved if Davey Knowels would have followed Chickenfoot to Philly. I never even caught the guys name who opened. Everyone was just calling him Bob Dylan. lol!

Davey Knowles

Here ya go baby

Glitz Man

Does someone down at the Indy Mini not like you?

What did they do to you to mess up your times this bad?

Well - it is good that you are still running.

GM (my initials btw!) - Toronto is about a 4-ish hour drive from here, give or take a little. I only go there for concerts if/when I have to. Saw 0ysterhead there, also Colonel Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade.. both amazing!

I find Toronto just way too busy, rush-hour 24-7 it seems.

Ottawa is much, much sleepier. Quiet, government city.
