I Hate the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

Ok, the nominations for this year's inductees into the R&R Hall of Fame are here, and once again, Peter has been DENIED! He's been eligible since 19-freaking-97. What's going on? I'm sure this year's nominees are SO much more deserving than Peter. Let's see who they are:

- John Mellencamp - yawn. Hasn't had a good song since he was John Cougar.
- Beastie Boys - ok. I do like the Boys, but before Peter? I don't think so.
- Donna Summer - I'm not going to dis my gal Donna, but does disco really have a place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Besides, "Frampton Comes Alive" came out before "Last Dance."
- Chic - see comments above
- Afrika Bambaataa - I only know one song by him (and James Brown)
- Leonard Cohen - I wouldn't know him if he showed up at my doorstep and said "Hello. I'm Leonard Cohen."
- The Dave Clark Five - c'mon, we're really making Peter's snub obvious now. How about inducting Herman's Hermits while you're at it?
- The Ventures - who?

And..wait for it...

MADONNA! That washed-up, fake British-accent-having slag is getting in before Peter. It's an outrage people, I tell you! Who wants to go to Cleveland and picket the place? Who's with me? Oh, and happy Frampton Friday.

Obligatory Daily Entry

Sorry, I have been writing for my paying gigs pretty much all day today. Tomorrow, I will give you my plan for achieving my goals!!

Yes, I Suck

I made a promise to myself to write every day, so here's my daily entry. I have been so unmotivated lately. I don't know what it is. I still have Peter on my mind, but unemployment weighs a little heavier right now. If anyone's still reading this, give me some words of encouragement!

Oh, my poor neglected blog...

I know I probably have a lot of explaining to do, now don't I? Ok, here's the deal. The day after my last post here, I was fired from my full-time job (I prefer the term "downsized", which is more fitting, because I was laid off from a dot-com.) I have been devoted to finding alternate employment, so that we can continue to live the life to which we have become accustomed (like, you know, eating, electricity, etc.) SO, FFMF may not be getting as much love as it so rightly deserves for a little while - but I did get an idea. Maybe you can help. I saw some guys who devoted a website to Kevin Costner and they got Mr. Costner himself to pose next to a computer displaying their tribute blog. Cool, huh? I'd love to know if Peter has seen (or heard of) this site. Any ideas? If you give me smoe suggestions, I vow to do my best to get this site up and running full steam as best I can...

The return of...

I got my name in lights with notcelebrity.co.uk

Ok, I have to make this quick, as I'm off to the Jersey shore to see my extended family for the weekend (and therefore missing Peter Sunday night in Hollywood, dammit!)I have been a bad, bad blogger/Frampton fanatic. But, I have some tricks up my sleeve - which I can't divulge at this time. I hope to have some news within the next few weeks.

Anywhoo.... Here's a nifty little mini-documentary about the man and the making of "Fingerprints" I think you'll enjoy. It's nice to see Peter performing with his pepaw...oh, that's Bill Wyman. Sorry. So, umm...enjoy...

Have a great weekend!

I'm Back!

Snazzy, huh? Things in Sugarland have been chaotic, to say the least, and I am sick that I haven't updated in such a long time. So, as a return to form (hopefully), here's some grainy video of Peter singing one of the songs I'd love to hear at my birthday party (hint hint!) - the classic "Doobie...Wah".

More soon...I promise!

Why Would Anyone Watch a Movie Over 100 Times?

Ok, I have a long, long way to go to get the attention of the great Peter Frampton, and I am almost positive bringing up Sgt. Pepper's may not be the best way to appeal to the man, but he may not realize what effect his decision to be in a movie musical based on the music of the Beatles would have on the general public (I actually stole/borrowed my aunt's Beatles albums after seeing SPLHCB, and that's when I really appreciated the genius of John, Paul, George and Ringo.)

As I have mentioned before, I have seen this movie over 100 times. I know every nuance, facial expression, line, note and technical gaffe. It is one of my "go to" movies when I'm having a bad day (most notably on my 21st birthday, when my purse was conveniently stolen. Just turned 21 and no ID - on a Sunday. I have to give props to my then-friend Patrick Williams, who gave up his Sunday to watch the flick with me - and enjoy some beers someone else had to buy for me. Sad, huh?)

So, anyway, I am feeling an overwhelming urge to salute my all-time favorite movie, right now. First up is the obligatory fanvid, notable for the incredible shot of Pete at 1:08 in...

There's not a lot of Sgt. Pepper's stuff on the YouTube, but I did find the trailer as well. As far as trailers go, it's really kinda weak, don'cha think?

And, although not completely Frampton-centric (but he does get a few moments in this clip), here's the great Robin Gibb singing what (I am almost scared to admit) is my favorite song from the movie...

Oh, and don't get me started on my complete collection of Sgt. Peppers trading cards...
