(Actual email written to an actual English rock star, who has sold millions of CD's, actually ...)
Hi ya. Todd here. Hello and quick explanation of yesterday's hilarious phone call!
I found myself at a football game (Leeds vs. Cottbus) where Leeds lost (because they apparently always do). There was much drinking and yearning, complaining and celebrating going on. And 2 girls that I met backstage at your show (See fine print: they're fans!) said it was your birthday, and we should call you. I said, "Yeah, sure." Not thinking they actually had your number! I didn't take them seriously, but thought them seriously cute. But when they started singing in cooing tones, hee hee, I giggled too and realized that you were actually on zee phone!
Oh, shit - what do I say in such a moment? Talk about living in the moment! I went from disbeliever to steady rock diplomat in about 22 seconds. I believe my exact words were, "Glug-glug-garble-garble-oh-yeah-great-seeyou-wahoo!"
Anyway, I got a kick out of that, and I hope you did, too. My garbled half-drunken hello was a joyfull testament to Life and how it constantly amazes me ... Warm wishes! Luv, -Todd
