Hello All,
I have some bad news to report from Boca. It seems as Josh and his family took a direct hit from the storms. There has been many thousands of dollars in damage done (which he says is not the reason to be upset). They are running out of food rations as there is no gasoline for 200 miles. As you know, Mrs. JB is 5-6 months pregnant and not having any hot water or power is not the easiest of things at all. Josh has all of the cars filled up with gasoline and is going to send his wife and children ahead to Orlando (where they can purchase fuel) and check them into a hotel. He will stay behind, with Monster until it is safe to leave (crime is very high, and the media is not covering this for political reasons). Every time I had spoken to Josh, he has been cheerful and happy. I felt horrible for him as the man was near tears. It pains him to watch his wife and children suffer. Many of the stress related illnesses are returning.
Now onto the main point. It disgusted jb and to an extent me that I found out that only one person has checked on his well being after his family...Me. jb has been carrying freeloaders this entire tour by buying dinner and drinks left and right. and very few people have tried to contact him to see if he was ok. It seems he feels that people show up in droves when he has his wallet open, and when it is time where he needs some support (I couldnt imagine having to watch my pregnant wife suffer!), everyone disappears. I am to forward the message that he hopes everyone enjoyed it while it was happening, but there will be no more accepting of freeloaders. To those who have access to Josh via telephone, I am sure he would love to hear from you, to those who dont, send him an email or PM or a post here, or even just keep his family in your thoughts.
To any of our other friends that have been affected by this or any of the recent natural disasters, my heart goes out to you and you are in my thoughts. Stay strong and fight on! |

My Joshy need not be idolized ;
Or enlarged at ' Shidobee ' beyond what he was at ' Rocks Off ' .
He IS to be remembered as a kind and decent man ;
A man who saw wrong and tried to right it ...
Saw suffering and tried to heal it ...
Saw War and tried to STOP it .
And those of us who loved him ** Young Joey's voice now cracking with visceral and heartfelt emotion *** ;
And who take him to his ' transition ' here today .
Know that what he was and what he stood for ;
Will someday come to pass for all the world .
As he said many times in many posts throughout the decades ;
" Some Men see message boards the way they are and say , ' Why ?!?! ' ..... ' WHY ?!?! ' .........
I dream of message boards that never were and say , ' WTF ?!?! ' !!!!!!!! "
I Thank You For Your time Today !
Scazz!
...cue chorus :
Has anybody here seen my old friend Joshy?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people,
But it seems the good they die young.
You know, I just looked around and he's gone.
Anybody here seen my old friend John?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people,
But it seems the good they die young.
I just looked around and he's gone.
Anybody here seen my old friend Martin?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people,
But it seems the good they die young.
I just looked 'round and he's gone.
Didn't you love the things that they stood for?
Didn't they try to find some good for you and me?
And we'll be free
Some day soon, and it's a-gonna be one day ...
Anybody here seen my old friend Bobby?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
I thought I saw him walk up over the hill,
With Joshy, Martin and John.
Baby Joe

puggy,
please pass my best regards on to JB, and inform him
that the drinks (*) will be on me in NYC (summit of the century!)
At the moment however, i have to take care of my girlfriend
who seems to have taken a serieus interest in smoking THE CRACK. I therefore can not really be bothered with other
people's problems. I'm sure Jb will understand.
Kindest regards,
your friend Egon
(*) = With a usd 15,00 limit (if the eur remains at 1.20 usd)

Time to temporarily move the family to the west coast for their protection. The fact that the Stones will be there is merely coincidental. No sacrifice is too great for their safety!!! |

They returned as media reports did not call for an evacuation, and it times of storms, most homes left un attended are looted, especially those in the upper class neighborhoods. Looking back, he should have stayed in Charlotte though. |

Just spoke to him briefly....he does sound upset. This is no joke. 
Family is gone but his sewer was backing up and he couldn't stay on the line.
Let's ALL say a lil prayer for him

I offered to take care of Monster for him!
But seriously, I hope everything works out for jb and his family.
Once things calm down for JB, I hereby open my vast coffers of music to him.
That's right. I will send JB a 50 spindle of CDRs filled with the music of his choosing. I will pay for the discs and for the postage! All he has to do is take a look at my lists and pick out 50 discs worth of material.
Perhaps some good music will help calm some of the terrible stress that JB and his family are feeling right now.
Hey, I want to do what I can. |
