Yay....I'm seeing Crowded House again soon, too! Yay.<br /><br />Yeah, I saw her reply. At first I didn't think what she said originally was so bad, but the more I thought about it the more it annoyed me. Maybe I get too easily annoyed by things like this after so many years of dealing with rudeness etc, but it just seemed to like a weird and rather dumb question to ask. I could understand someone saying, "Do you mind people asking you what is wrong with your face?" or something like that, which people have asked me before. But asking how to approach us? It seems very odd to me. It's like asking how would you approach someone of a different race or culture - as a human being, with respect. Seems kind of obvious to me.<br /><br />I must say, you seem a lot more patient than me! I admire that so much about you.Ellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02459252844594204485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2479975284304978887.post-75627736118053864752010-08-07T15:56:16.979-07:002010-08-07T15:56:16.979-07:00I bought Neil Finn's lyrics book - I love it. ...I bought Neil Finn's lyrics book - I love it. I am seeing Crowded House again soon! <br />Thank you for the comment on my blog about the woman who befriended the woman with the cleft palate. Since receiving other viewpoints from people such as you, my opinion has changed from a soft, not wanting to offend approach to a harder one. The woman has actually replied too - her comment is quite defensive!Carly Findlayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01368145710452826385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2479975284304978887.post-41221645235511724562010-07-31T06:13:30.151-07:002010-07-31T06:13:30.151-07:00I partly agree with you, which is why I said it is...I partly agree with you, which is why I said it is a good introduction for people that are not Finn fantatics. I probably should have written that most avid Finn fans wouldn't like it because there's a lack of new information, but I enjoyed reading it myself despite knowing basically everything already.<br /><br />I liked the fact that the early days were focused on more than post-Enz and CH, because most "half dedicated" fans know the later years of their careers really well. To each their own, I guess. I'm still glad someone finally wrote a book about them, which is a hard thing to do.Ellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02459252844594204485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2479975284304978887.post-20189661155134791332010-07-31T06:05:23.211-07:002010-07-31T06:05:23.211-07:00Introduction? Yes. Biography? No.
There is precio...Introduction? Yes. Biography? No.<br /><br />There is precious little in the book that a half dedicated fan hasn't already read or heard elsewhere - much of it is a rehash and some of that he manages to get wrong. What new information he has is laregely unsubstantiated, and he totally wasted the opportunity to create something unique in glossing over the post-Enz and Crodies (mark I) parts of the brothers' lives and careers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
