You KNOW that Bubba's on here...

Frankly, it must be awfully tough to perform night after night, year after year. Must be even tougher to keep some simple semblance of a domestic scene back at home with the nuclear family.

Even though I would leap tall buildings at the idea of getting to meet NEP (or Lerxt or Dirk), there must be countless others wanting the same opportunity. If they did it for me, then they would be pretty-much duty bound to let others cross that line as well.

Even though I find it personally disappointing, I have to respect them for their decisions so they can get on with their personal and professional lives at their own time and in their own way.

If, on the one-in-a-million chance I were to bump into one of them at, say, a supermarket or the local BMW motorcycle dealership, what am I going to say? I'd probably become cotton-mouth and tongue tied anyway. Mufasa's idea of saying simply, "Thanks - even if you stopped writing and playing and touring today, just... thanks" might be a good idea, but I honestly don't know if I could squeeze that out, stammering and stuttering.
