neonico, ob8 and anyone else I may have offended... I wasn't saying you or anyone else wants to hurt David. I was simply relaying my experiences in working with a band, and saying that most celebrities, be they musicians, actors, athletes or whatever find it necessary to maintain a distance from their fans, which is sometimes interpreted as not caring when it may not be the case. Anyway, the post was taken out of context and has been deleted. My sincere apologies to you all.

Ob8 and Neonico... I don't understand why you took Fire Rose's comment about David possibly distancing himself from his fans so personally. She was making a point, and a valid one at that. I had a little chat once with a guy who ran a David Sylvian tribute myspace. He was shocked at the messages he would get from people who thought he was David. These people would say the strangest things... I think I recall one being "I pray to a picture of you every night..." And I'm sure that's barely scratching the surface of what DS has to go through for real. So yeah. It's a no-brainer why he would distance himself from his fans, especially given his very private and introverted nature.

Anyway, I definitely understand why most everyone feels so frustrated about the lack of info. from Samadhisound. But does everyone honestly think he's keeping us in the dark for his health? No? It's probably for a good reason (possibly one of the reasons Camphorvan has already listed a page back). We have not a clue what could be going on behind Samadhisound's doors right now.

As for the prolonged release date, well, it is what it is. There's nothing we can do about it. Just remember that it will be worth the wait... Like I said before, listen to your old favorites in the meantime. Or maybe listen to your least favorite DS album/collaboration, maybe you'll start to love it.

Just my .00002 cents...

Thanks, Silver Moon. Some of them are really out there. One time there was going to be a big birthday party for the lead guitarist in London. A "fringer" sent me some nearly nude pictures of herself and asked me to send them to him. :oops: :shock: She said they had been romantically involved in New York several years earlier and that he would want to know she was trying to contact him. She also said she had just purchased a plane ticket to London and wanted to know exactly where the party was... and wouldn't he be excited to know she was flying 7,000 miles just to see him! Wrong. I sent the pictures to him and his response was, "I hope she can get her money back on that plane ticket. I've never seen this woman before in my life. Tell her to **** off and if she shows up at my party she will be arrested."

I'm sorry, but I'll have to shock you all.
Just look at what happened this morning in London, when voice got round that David was in town.
