My Frampton Collection is Complete!

Well, I have all of the albums (and am in the arduous process of getting CD copies of every single album), but, thanks to I-Tunes, I do believe I now have every song Peter has performed. Yes, I downloaded "The Tigger Bop", from "The Tigger Movie" soundtrack. While not as musically complex as anything you'd find on "Fingerprints", it is a welcome addition to my Frampton collection. Just thought I'd mention it.

Peter Frampton In the News

I was sent an email from my old friend Eddie Haskell today, linking to an article on MSNBC. You can see the article in its entirety here, but here's the highlights...

Peter Frampton's star is a safety hazard?

LOS ANGELES - Hundreds of stars on Hollywood's "Walk of Fame" are to undergo a much-needed $4.2 million makeover to repair cracks and holes ahead of the 50th anniversary of the beloved tourist attraction.

Many of them -- including those for "Dynasty" star Joan Collins, Humble Pie singer Peter Frampton, actors Walter Matthau and Burt Lancaster -- have been deemed potential safety hazards to pedestrians.

I like how they listed him as "Humble Pie singer." Some news intern at MSNBC did a little Googling, me thinks. At least Peter made the headline over Joan Collins.

If I ever win the lottery, I'll personally fund the repairs of Peter's star. Isn't there some caring fan in the LA area who can do a bit of star maintenance? The star is located at at 6819 Hollywood Boulevard, so if you're in the vicinity, give Pete a little love, 'kay?

Fairy Godmothers Are Real!

I've been meaning to write this post for weeks, but the job searching has taken up most of my computer time. Yeah, enough waah-waah, I'm still out of work, which nearly prevented me from seeing Peter for concert #8, as he once again blesses us with his innumerable talents on yet another nationwide tour.

But, someone was watching over me, as my Aunt/godmother Kathy (whose battered copy of "Frampton Comes Alive" has become the prized possession of my record collection - and I'm going to get it signed, someday...) and her BFF Penny have given me an early 40th b-day present...10th row tickets to his October gig in Clearwater! Yippee! So, if I can get myself motivated, maybe I can finagle some way to get backstage and meet my idol a few months early. Anyone have any ideas/suggestions?

P.S. Eddie Izzard (pictured above) also rules. Saw him last month in Miami...he's to comedy what Peter is to rock 'n' roll.
