Someone once told me that in order to experience and know joy and happiness was to know despair and sadness. Sometimes things shake us to our core and we don't understand the reason, but in everything even sickness, it might help us appreciate our wellness. Hope you can find your way through this difficult time and find something wondrous. I will pray and offer words of goodness which I hope will fall upon and around you to help restore your faith in yourself and the world.
Ftloperry wrote:Oh no Shadow. I have been wondering about you lately and hoping that you are okay. Life seems to move in many directions and life does throw at us things we just never thought would happen. I will keep you in my prayers and thoughts. Be safe and well. Visit here when you can and keep us up to date on you.

It is Sunday & Maybe Laura & Cyndy are off. Gosh I wish I could have relaxed this weekend but no rest for the weary as life goes on & things break & roofs leak so someone needs to take care of things.
I do know about time catching up with you. My 66 year old uncle died "unexpectantly"2 weeks ago, His wife would not comment further to the family. I recently found out someone I knew died a few years ago at age 53. We lost a lot of people this year too. Gosh Carrie Fischer & then her mother Debbie Reynolds just a day apart. Who says you can't die of a broken heart? Didn't even know we lost Deano til earlier this year.![]()
I found out I have cancer late last year so have been dealing with that. Its been very hectic lately.
I also was a victim of a hit & run before Thanksgiving. They ran over my foot & then the side of the car knocked me down to the street. It was 6:30PM 11/20 & raining. I was laying in the dark on the wet street staring at headlights ready to come in my direction & finish me off when the light changed. I was able to pick myself up & hobble to the curb.
The white toyota stopped & parked down the street. No one could see the plate. They stuck around a few minutes but were gone by time the ambulance came & the police never did show up til I was in the ER. I broke my big toe & was in a cast. It was incredibly hard to take care of myself on crutches as even going a few feet with my bruised body was too much. 4 weeks later I started walking again. 2 months now & I'm walking but its still not the same & I'm favoring it & have a bit of a limp. I need to go back for more xrays & hoping with time I can walk normally but now its not important as I am trying to get surgery for cancer & my medical insurance is dragging there heels & its been almost 4 months since diagnosis. Took them 2 months just to get me a cancer DR. Just took another month to get a cat scan hoping its not spread.
To add to the crap I have now I am getting ER & ambulance bills for my foot & my medical insurance is pretending to take care of the bills but then send me letters saying they tried & now want me to call & deal with it!
The last 4 months of my life has been the worst in my life!![]()
I hope everyone is well & Hope Steve Perry has a nice birthday!![]()
Sorry, I just don't have time to come here that often
I don't care much for most music anymore. I don't listen to anything new. Its all mindless crap of someone elses idea of reality to me. Too much angst & vanity.
Most of my life & relationships have been wasted on musicians. They are among the most unstable, egocentric, vane people
who change direction on the drop of a dime.
I think partly the weakness of the human spirit is too blame but we all to one extent or another are concerned with the self & I guess that's what makes for survival. I am not saying its right or wrong but I've really distanced myself & try to live in a bubble.
I got hit by the car because I walked to church on a rainy day. Having cancer I debated...should I go to church & risk getting a cold. So I said to myself OK I can still walk & I'll dress warm. What did I get from church? I got some sympathy & "prayers".
What did I really need that night? There is a musician & his girlfriend who live one block from me. They know I have cancer & they know I live close as they saw me walking past there building before. I talk to them & they offer prayers but on that dark rainy night you think they might say...I know you walk to church & its dark & its raining....do you need a ride home????
They could have just left me a block away not even travelling one inch out of there way. I could have walked home & I would have been spared almost being road kill...
No...they did not think of it & I would not ask for a favor & took 2 buses home. I got off one bus & was crossing the street to get to the next bus & wham a car turns left from behind right in front of me & runs over my foot!!! Gosh changed my life.
I have much more sympathy for people with handicaps.
I listen to classical music which is soothing on the soul. My mind & my body has no more time or want to listen to the dribble
that erodes the well being of today's society by desensitizing our youth & turning them into chaotic antagonists.![]()
I guess I have gotten older & wiser. Why is life wasted on the youth as they have little incline to do anything but serve their own self driven desires.
Well...that's all from me...

For 6 years he has never missed sending out a birthday message.![]()
Fingers crossed it's because of something positive ... like being too busy finishing the new album![]()
Wishing him good health!
And maybe Lora can please share why there's no message on FA this year? Pretty please?

He didn't send a message to us this year. Nothing is wrong and he is fine.

We were counting on it as we do every year. We may have to send cousin Eddie out to bring him back in a bow.

Wow. You have been through so much. I hope things get better for you very soon. Sending positive thoughts your way.

NO Fan Asylum Birthday Message? I was looking forward to it.![]()
So Cousin Eddie is Randy Quaid? Guess I'm not up on all the movies but would not want Randy Quaid to come looking for me!
Randy Quaid has been in the limelight the last few years & not in a good way. He's been having a rough time lately!
Gosh I wonder if he still remembers back in the 80;s when he lived in our building this old woman who was being evicted
attached herself to his leg so they could not take her away! Guess you would remember dragging an old woman down the hall kicking & screaming...

Thank you Lora ... good to hear! And the album will be released when ??![]()
FezzyChic wrote:Dearest Shadow,
It hurts my heart to hear that you have been in such despair!
Glad you posted here so the many friends you have can now have communion with you!
Are you getting chemo? I hope you are receiving good medical care and don't underestimate Medical Marijuana as I hear that the Phoenix Tears has tremendous benefit in treating cancer and cancer symptoms!
Good grief, you are so tiny that a car crushing your tiny foot is an awful thought!
I hope you are feeling better and get stronger everday!
Your singing is not only annointed but beautiful and glorious!! I remember you singing in Vegas at the Fab Four Show . . .damn girl, for a little thing, I couldn't believe how much volume you had!!
All that beautiful voice coming out of your mouth...I was in awe!! Unforgettable and good times Shadameow!!
Mr. Voice, the Holy Shit, King of the Heart, and Heart of the Night will come to Rock n Roll his fans when he can!! So Don't Stop Believin'
Keep your chin up, you can do this, and make yourself well!! Post more often so your old friends can chat with you and give me a holler if you need to talk.

I can almost remember what you told me happened that day, how you described it and perhaps the time of day. Amazing how words can open a window into different realms of our reality. Take care Shadow, praying that life will fall back into a better and healthier place for you.
FezzyChic wrote:Dearest Shadow,
You should consider flying to Australia where it is safe untill China, Iran, Korea and Russia put their Nukes away! These are dangerous times! You have a lot of troubles but you have relatives down under! My cousin who lives in Silicon Valley told me that in that community...most of the wealthy have knowledge of impending WW111 and LA is in danger! I love you Shadow..listen, I'm serious!!
