First of all you got to be kidding, but here's the story...
I'm sure she would emerge from the opening licks of a Stones concert just as well!
Girl Emerges from Coma During Bryan Adams Concert
Wed Mar 12, 4:30 PM ET Add Health - Reuters to My Yahoo!
By Michael Leidig
MUNICH (Reuters Health) - A young woman left in a coma for six years after she collapsed at school has started to respond to the world around her after her mother took her to see her pop star hero Bryan Adams perform live.
Christiane Kittel, now 24, was left in a vegetative state after her collapse on 12 June 1997. Doctors believe her condition was caused by a combination of hot weather, a hereditary hemophilia condition and side-effects of the contraceptive pill.
She had to be resuscitated three times, once at school and twice at the University Clinic in Regensburg, where she underwent surgery before being attached to life-support machines in the intensive care unit.
Later she was moved to the intensive care unit at the Clinic for Neurologic Rehabilitation in Regensburg, where her parents Karl-Gunther and Adelheide Kittel have kept a 15-hour watch by her bedside every day.
Her father, now 55, told Reuters Health: "We did not want her to be alone so we have spent every day by her bedside. We take it in turns, my wife does six hours than I take over for about six hours, there is usually someone there constantly between 5 AM and 8 PM."
"We have never given up hope of seeing our beloved daughter again," he said.
"Bryan Adams was always her biggest hero and she loved his music before she fell into a coma," said his wife Adelheid, 53. "When we heard about the concert in Regensburg we knew straight away that we had to take her there."
A local paper paid for the tickets and doctors arranged special help to get Christiane to the concert, her mother said.
During the concert, Christiane started to move in the wheelchair and was fascinated by the music and the singer.
"I will never forget it, I could have hugged the whole world. When we got back to the clinic she was still animated, and three times she called my name, she said Mama."
Head of the clinic Dr. Gerhard Weber, who has worked with Christiane for six years, confirmed that the concert had been a big leap forward for the young woman, but warned there was still a long way to go.
"I think there had been signs that she was starting to respond to the treatment she was getting before the concert and was no longer in a full vegetative state, but the concert certainly represented a big improvement," he told Reuters Health.
"There is a long way to go but I am very happy with the results of our experiment. It was the first time she had been out of the hospital apart from a single brief trip to her home. What she needs now is for the various therapies to continue and a lot of emotional stimulation including more trips home, for example.
"It's wrong to say it is a great miracle what happened here," Weber added. "But we have taken small steps and we are on the way to our goal."
But father Karl-Gunther takes another view: "I have no doubt that it was the concert that marked the turning point. She seemed to come alive when she was there, and clearly called out her mother's name. We now believe she is finally coming home to us." |

Interesting. You'd think a Bryan Adams concert would induce a coma. |

Hey, there is some good stuff on www.rollingstones.com
The band KISS talks about their learning of Open G Tunning form the Stones.
And their song Duece was stolen from Bitch Gene Simmons said.
Also Black Diamond was stolen from Brown Sugar Paul Stanely said!
It's all there!

Teen's dying wish for Cameron Diaz blow job not granted
PHILADELPHIA, Monday: The parents of 15-year-old leukaemia patient Josh
Morten, who last night passed away after a four year battle with the
illness, said they were sorry not to have fulfilled his dying wish to get a
blow job from Cameron Diaz.
The courageous teenager told his family two months ago that the one thing
he'd really like before he died was to be sucked off by the successful
Hollywood actress and former model.
"Josh never asked for much," his father confided. "He never complained about
his illness, or made unrealistic demands. So when he requested fellatio from
the star of Charlie's Angels and There+s Something About Mary we thought,
sure, that+s the least we can do for him."
But attempts to grant Josh his dying wish proved much more difficult than
the family had initially thought. Formal requests inviting the star to
perform oral sex on their dying son were repeatedly declined.
"We wrote, we rang, we faxed," Mr Morten explained. "And every time it was
the same answer: 'Sorry, Ms Diaz is currently unable to comply with your
request.' I mean, how unsympathetic can you get? We're talking about a dying
kid here! Would it kill her?"
Mr Morten even made a special trip to Los Angeles, to try to talk to the
movie star personally outside the premiere of Gangs of New York. "The crowds
were ten deep," he said, "and I'm there yelling out to her from the back:
'Will you go down on my son please!', but she didn+t want to know."
With hopes diminishing by the day, Mr Morten placed similar standby requests
with the agents representing Catherine Zeta Jones, Jennifer Lopez and Salma
Hayek, but in each case the stars refused to co-operate.
"Who do they think they are, these women!" railed Mr Morten. "They earn
millions of dollars and swan about at fancy parties, but when they get a
simple request to bring a smile to a young boy far less fortunate than them,
they turn their back on you. What kind of world do we live in when a dying
teenager can no longer get his cock sucked by a celebrity?"

Can you imagine the precedent this would have set?
She'd get about 10,000 plees for 'help' a day.

Indeed! That's the only signal that things are wrong in this world of ours...
What does that guy mean with 'no longer'? When was it possible then? Did I miss something?
