Poplar Did anyone else just hit the new header and, for a moment at least, think: 'Oh my God, I'm reading Charlie's retirement announcement' ... ?

I hate to say it, but i did.

When I hit line 4, I was prety certain it was dated. But, in lines 1 thru 3, i was a little freaked out. Maybe it's post-Phish traumatic disorder ... maybe it's the red background.

sorry to be heavy, but I wanted to share the feeling.

FotiniD Oh Poplar, I guess it has to do with Phish

I didn't think of that because the red and the handwriting immediately struck me with "According to the Rolling Stones" but I can see what you mean.

They say all good things must come to an end, but I think it's too soon to worry. The boys haven't said goodbye yet!
Charlie will be just fine, and there's a whole new tour waiting just round the corner.

Don't worry, it'll all be fine the minute this *@$@^&@#& year finishes

Angiegirl I'll sing you a song Poplar, just to hush your sad feelings . It's just meant as a celebration of our Charlie, and yes, I did scan the bit from the book According to... The pic is from the nineties.

Oh, I got it now. have to admit it, I havn't really looked though that book since I got it, so the font didn't strike me. Thanks for the song. Happy Thursday everyone, been a long week. Friday: looming, ever closer.

Steel Wheels Charlie is such a fucking rock. If one could compare him to cars, he's the 427 Cobra - untouchable and awe-inspiring.

God bless Charlie. He is the Rolling Stones. He is the musical glue of the band. It's all about Charlie, really. Charlie, his drums, his wife, and them horses.

Wild horses couldn't drag Charlie away.
