Cupid, Cupid, dear sweet Cupid....I remember watching your last days of innocence....it was like watching a deer in the headlights. hehehehe Sigh....we consumers have most certainly taken our power back, eh?
Ah....the ego...well, I've typed this paragraph a few times now and have to keep deleting! LOL And I do declare, kind sir, that you know better than most EXACTLY what I mean! And you came on the scene later than I did----it was quite a show for a long time there and was positively contagious! I hang my head.........
Ah yes. Galahadian Cupid... Before the nervous tic. Before the shaking of the hands. Before the baldness. Ok, I exaggerate. And, yeah, headlights is so right! But I can't deny that the dramatis personae of that interesting time & place (picture yourself and AGBF in the roles of enchanting muses) were engaging enough to make a fond, positive impression. Years later when I came aboard in the trade it was cool to get to know the pros in person - and suffer a few rites of passage - especially people like Paul, Garry & Serg from different corners of the earth who I never fathomed I'd meet. As regards you, Deb, and a few more refugees who've either faded or lurk, I'll always consider you my erstwhile allies and inspirers (conspirers?)from another place and time. Don't you hang your head!
As for 'knowing ego;' my parents are both professional singers, I earned degrees in vocal & percussion performance and I've been an artist-clinician with Yamaha for many years. I came into this well-prepared for a few high-filootin' diamond cutters.
Maybe we should exchange notes.
Well, you were more ego-prepared than I was. I'm a licensed therapist...morals, ethics...breaking annoying things like those cause us to lose our licenses and certifications and render us sans income! LOL
I think that in my silly mood this morning, one of the funniest parts of your last quote was including meeting Garry in the same sentence as "suffering a rite of passage". ROFL Love you Garry.
I love when intelligent men call me an "enchanting muse".
I'll exchange notes with you any time!
