Penny for (My) Thoughts

Yes, I'm still around and yes, I still want Peter Frampton to play at my 40th birthday fiesta. Oh, and I am still deeply outraged and saddened that the great one was ignored once again by the R&R Hall of Fame. At the current time, my mind and time are filled desperately trying to find a full-time gig somewhere...anywhere. I've been trying to get into entertainment journalism, but it's hard - especially because I live in what is hardly the epicenter of the industry - Port St. Lucie, Florida. Heck, you can't even MapQuest me. Maybe Mr. Frampton might stumble upon my humble blog and consent to an interview - that I may submit to magazines, blogs, whatnot? Hmmm....

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...

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!
