R3 and everyone else here, I have to admire the honesty in your post, and I agree with most of what you say. I first came here because I felt there was an injustice done to initially Sue, who was pilloried through no fault of her own, because as I've said earlier, the band happened to sing happy birthday to her at the recent Brian Wilson concert in Gateshead U.K. Then, hallelujah, all hell seemed to break loose and it became a free for all to sledge hammer not only Sue but her husband Stu, along with Bluebird. Now, you might think I'm new here, on the Blueboard and to Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys but actually I'm not. I've been around quite some time. I'm not, as I think I've made clear, a lover of the blueboard and the gushing content that prevails over there, so I choose not to post.., but then I respect that others have the right to say what they like, just as you do here. I actually knew of your founder here long ago and although I didn't cross his path, I know how controversial at times he could be and how he could to a man instigate a riot on the web. His style was not mine but as an outsider he was at times greatly entertaining. When I came to learn of his sad demise, although he was a noted trouble stirrer, I was still saddened at his loss and my thoughts went out to his family.
Regarding Bluebird, I am not, and I repeat not trying to paint her as a saint. I know about her spat with Donna K and I also know she has (allegedly) led people on and duped them out of cash or whatever. If she has gained, (again allegedly) from the generosity of others in the aftermath of 9/11 then I would be as disgusted as the next person but I happen to think silence would be a better option than giving Bluebird Pat the attention I think she thrives on. Someone also asked me earlier whether I had lent her money and the answer is no and nor would I. But then if I had, I wouldn't be posting about it on Brian Wilson's website or any other relevant message board for fear that I might be thought of being naive for lending her that money in the first place. Regarding Andrew Doe, who I feel comes across sometimes, as to have it in for anyone who dares to question anything he might say. I greatly admire you for your knowledge of the Beach Boys and as we are approximately the same age I can relate to how you first became a fan of the Beach Boys because in a different part of the UK, at the same time, I too was discovering this beautiful music that was to become a huge part of my life too. What I do have a problem with is how Andrew sometimes delivers his knowledge (or replies) in a manner that he is perhaps becoming more famous for and I know he knows I'm not the only one who has noticed this in him. For example his reply to my saying I had a brief conversation with Peter Reum was "Doubt it" rather than "Are you sure?" which would have been more appropriate and one where I could have clarified the point further and, to me, just further agitated the situation. He asks do I have a surname, which if you think about it is a daft question to begin with, because of course I do, but then I could ask does Lakepipe, R3, bb54 and C.R. Domino have one too? Why does he want to know my surname? Because then he could, or here you all could, start slamming my surname like you did with the Levinson surname earlier. I'm not too bothered, I'm broad shouldered, but if you don't mind I'll butt out of playing the mind games and let you find it for yourselves. So here we are and probably my last post here, but I didn't want to leave without saying goodbye or more importantly giving you all the opportunity to say you asked some questions and I left without trying to answer them. To Gordon, who was told we may have met, I would say to you, how the hell would I know unless you tell me who told you in the first place? So goodbye everyone. It has been, shall we say an experience for me. Respect. Phil On Jul 21, 7:15 am, R3 <[email protected]> wrote: > Phil and folks > I have never posted on the Blooey.
