Good Morning all, Oh my am I 1st?

Hey Dave and All,
I think it is great to see alot of people helping out others. So many people have stepped up to help the Katrina survivors, and it amazes me at times. But then I think well why can't others always try to help others?, not just in emergencies. But I think it is great.

Looks like I might be staying in NJ longer than a month, I will be my father's caregiver. Really not looking foward to being away from my husband this long but I have to. Thank you all for your prayers and wishes I really do appreciate it. Talk to you all later.

-Helena

Happy Sunday to all...hope all is well with all

Has anyone here been to Mauritius?

PeaceOut

Dave & DN Family,

Hey it's a football Sunday! Thank goodness for that. Football gives me a reason to call my Dad about 10 times on Sunday to yell and scream about our NY Giants.

Question for Sunday 10:
Everyone knows that you play poker. ¿Have you ever bet on sports? ¿Super Bowl?

Later,
Mike from NYC

Good morning Everyone!!!

Thanks for Sasha's link Dave. I tell yah the show just keeps getting better and better. I know everyone has been saying it but
I am going to suffer from serious withdrawls!!!
A few days ago somebody asked you what you would want to ask your fans. Seeing as it IS sunday and the Sunday 10 have been sparatic (we know you are busy) maybe you could finally answer (or would you be asking?) the question. Inquiring minds would love to know!
A shout out to the ever growing number of Canadains on here!

Good Morning Dave and all-

Yes-I think that was me that asked the question.
*If you could ask your fans a question, what would it be?"* I guess I'm curious if he thinks we're all loonies. Ok, well, maybe just me..hehe
I think it would be interesting to find out what's going through his mind about us at times.
We're always asking him questions, thought it would be fun to turn the tables a bit. :)
Looking forward to the show tonight.
I can't believe it's almost over already, seems like just yesterday it started!
Well, Have a great day all!

Hello Dave and folks!

Sasha's artwork is beautiful...very surreal!

Thanks for the update, have a good Sunday!

Hi all... Happy Sunday.

That's wonderful that so much money was raised for the hurricane victims. Hopefully the healing process has begun.

Helena - Best of luck to you and your father.

Diane - Interesting ideas and questions. Loonies or not, at least we all have good taste. :) I could think of worse blogs to frequent. LOL

And how about that artwork? Sasha's one talented individual!

Have a good one,

Very true Denise-At least us/me "loonie" have good taste! Heh
Oh yes-I did check out the art work-I found myself looking at his Erotica art. Quite interesting I must say!

Hey Dave! Hope you have a nice dayy! loveya.

interesting is right, the boy knows the female form, for sure, LOL!

oh....and sasha's art also reminds me of some of Dali's surreal work, as well!

my friends think it's weird that I get off on the thought of you roughing me up. Is it weird?

Hulo Dave Hi All.........Dave, thankx for the updates....and for all the work & efforts everyone is doing to help all of everyone.....okay that dosen't really make sense....once again, we can chalk it up to lack of...... .sleep........well, in any case...... Dave Good Luck with the show....i hope we all will enjoy the music.....you guyz have really done a great job....at least i think so.....MUCH LOVE.......have a good week...........Shellee..........

OOPS!!! i forgot to wish everyone a HAPPY GRANDPARENTS DAY!!!!!!!!! LOVE YA !!!!!!!!!!!!

Dave, I'd like to hear your take on the definition, or significance of 'Goth' in general. It is a subculture that is so multifarious, and theres alot of people who will give you varied explanations, including why it has taken on such a commercialized form, in a sense. Do you/ have you ever considered yourself part of the subculture itself?

Peace & Love
Pete

Nice pic Dave

I love Sasha's art work..i love that surreal style

Dave,
That's wonderful about the money raised!
Here's a question:
What do you like better touring or studio work?

That artwork is amazing! Except, I had this one really old prof in university who taught engineering physics, and his name was Sasha Koustov, and I was thinking about him when I was looking at those pictures and the erotica really creeped me out.

Okay, further proof that Coffee Bean rocks and people just need to get a job! I work Sundays-Thursdays 1200-830pm and on my way 2 work 2day I went in2 C.Bean and there was a sign posted saying that the PINK PUNCH card will be discontinued and will cease on Oct. 16. '05. Oh that pisses me off! I love my pink punch card oh so much and that sucks. It states that due to HIGH fraud they are working on different ways to offer some other program. Whatever. The bad apples can kiss my ass. :( On the bright side, Rockstar repeats at midnight 2night. peace, all. ck. P.S. Wendy bird, the heads went 4 800.00---

Okay, Dave, did u know that my post above has 2 words in red that leads 2 a site and I in NO WAY know how that happened!!!!!!!! some porn and some sale shi*...omg...totally trippy. P.S. congrats 2 INDIE 103.1 4 raising ALL that $$. Way 2 go. :)

*lead* not (s)--correction.

Can't wait to watch "RockStar" tonight....and oh, Dave, I am waiting patiently for the Camp Freddy shirts (they're going to be sold this week, right???)

Have a good week, family....and be kind to each other--we are all we've got!!!

*tapping foot waiting patiently like a good girl*

Hi Dave,

You & Carmen were on "Fashion Police" today. Robert Verdi had nice things to say!

WOW~! Very interesting art there. Sasha's an excellent musician & a very talented artist. Some people are simply born with loads of talent.

His art is definitely in the area of ......Bacon-meets-Dali-meets-Ernst.

take care,
itanja

here's a suggestion for you for this site.

maybe you could get your techno buddy set this site up so that when people are in it it's got music in the background?

Hey Dave and everyone,
Great work raising that money. Can't wait for the CF benefit shirts to come out! Random question for you, Dave...from a very bored mind :)
~What kind of cigs do you smoke?
Cant wait to see you and the rest of the gang tonight on Rockstar. Have a great night everyone...
~Amber :)

No need to delete this one, not that the other one was so bad, but i have a legit question for dave navarro king of comebacks. i mean no harm. naturally your my last choice of person to ask this to but who else is there? theyre either doing something worthwhile, not presenting feebly veiled adverts and wiling away the hours on an ego site, or they have a selective memory disorder preventing them from rembering how the hell they got to 2005. so anyways what i was just wondering was if you cared to share any details of the best of Jane's Addiction album and any other upcoming debt relieving releases. id be much obliged.

Wow, Dave, that is fantastic!

I have been a part of two fundraisers and my hubby's radio station had one also. The one for the station raised about $5,000 - which isn't bad for only a 2 hour fundraiser. Half the money was going directly to the Red Cross Katrina fund - the other half was being used to help the 9 families that have found refuge in our community. There are several more going on to help them - but just 30 miles away, 300 more have come for refuge. One restaurant, the servers donated their tips for the day and raised close to $3,000 - and as many can attest too, servers often live off their tips.

So, was there any drama this week? What is the house like with just the four? The VH1 episode is on in 20 minutes. Think I will bid you a fond good night . . .

Always,
me

I googled Sasha and he is an honorary member of the deadsy 6 T-7tees-club. June 6th, 1967, if I recall.

After watching tonights episode, I have update my prediction. I think that JD is the best fit for the band with MARTY being 2nd.

JD has the best writing talent, his personality comes across when his onstage and has the "edge" that they are looking for.

MIG was a good fit until he told them about all of his Musical Theater experience. It looked like it turned INXS against him. It was the same reason they let TY go.

SUZIE has the best voice but comes across as being too overwhelmed for the job. I don't know
if she can handle the pressure.

MARTY has a good vision of where the band could go with him in it, but his voice may be too dark for them.

¿What does the rest of the 6767 family think?

Later,
Mike from NYC

I meant "updated"....sorry

Hi Mike,

But didn't the band ALSO question JD's personality and how he might *really* behave within the context of actually working with them??

Didn't they question if his "edge" might be too much? Not their exact words, but close.

I'd be scared to work with him, he comes across as very sneaky. INXS are too old for that nonsense, they shouldn't have to baby-sit anyone.

Mig might not have the "edge" they want, though is he a professional. Mig comes across as extremely trustworthy, what you see is what you get. JD not so much. Too much drama.

There is more to joining this band than having a bad boy image.

What was JD's line about working with them for the "next 20-30 years" Yeah right, they'd be around 70 in 20 years! loool

JD says such stupid things to try to impress them!

take care,
itanja

Itanja,

You're correct, they did question JD's attitude. I just got the feeling that they were less impressed with MIG, and SUZIE's interview. That's all. MARTY may not fit with them musically. I guess their decision is going to come down to the less of 4 evils. Or maybe as you stated before, they won't pick any of them.

If I was in a band I wouldn't want JD in it because of the drama.

Later,
Mike from NYC

Hi Mike from NYC. :) How are ya? My views, as I said on the TPC board, is that it's anyone's call at this point. All of them have qualities that would make them good lead singers, and all have some shortcomings.

I do think that it's ridiculous to consider Mig's theater background and likeable demeanor shortcomings, though. (It's almost as if they were grasping for something negative to say about him.) Rock and roll IS theater in many ways. I believe the best rock and roll performers are those who combine theatrical elements with moments of pure, raw, unabashed, spontaneous, real emotion. And I think Mig has proven that he can do both.

Rant over. What can I say... I like the guy. :)

After what we saw tonight, I think they are all equally qualified to front INXS, even from that personality/getting-along perspective. Even the sometimes obnoxious JD would probably (and should) show INXS the respect they deserve.

This is definitely getting tougher. Only time will tell!

Hi Mike and all...

I really think Marty is it- he comes across as very confident and professional. The house band said in an earlier episode that they think he always works really hard and takes this very seriously.

Suzie dissapointed me and reminded me of when I was younger and would interview and all of a sudden my mind would go blank...and I would choke. I thought she was a little more confident than how she came across. But, yuou know everyone screws up in interviews, I should know...

JD is hungry for the job- he is just too much work, as someone said, these guys don't need to have him tripping and them babysitting ...too much ego in my opinion.

Mig seems like a great person. But, I also think he is more suited for acting than rock-n-roll.

Oh well. Like they care what I think!

Wrist and thumb impaired,

CLaudia
have a good night ya'll!

Poor Suzie. I hate it when my mind goes blank like that.
Marty's been doing interviews all along and I think he's just more comfortable with it.
After watching the show tonight, here's what I think...short and sweet.

Suzie’s too bluesy, Marty’s too manic, Mig’s too “big show� and J. D…..he’s just J. D. The Bad Boy of the show.
They seem to be worried about whether J. D. is what he seems to be or if it's just an act for the show.

I think it's between Marty and J. D. at this point.

I loved the cake and J. D.s comment at the end. Did you guys catch that part?

Dani,

cake? no what was said?

I want cake!

Dave,
I heard that there have been new terrorist threats mentioning L.A. Have you heard about this and how do you feel about it? Are you worried that something is actually going to happen?
~TA

Oops! Sorry about the double post- I didn't think it went up the first time. :)

Wow Molly, where do you get off?

Hey Dave,

That's so great you raised all that money! Also thanks for posting Sasha's site, his work is AMAZING!!!

--Lotea

Hi Simon,

"Wow Molly, where do you get off?"

I actually think Molly rarely.....if ever....
gets off....that IS the problem.

looooool

take care,
itanja

Great job on the hurricane relief! Also, I want to say how impressed I am with your interaction with the fans! I have never seen an artist write on his site every day and answer questions. WOW!

Itanja, you had me cracking up, very whitty!

i think you probably hit the nail on the head (pardon the pun!!)!!!!1111

LOL at Itanja

The Cake? I liked when Suzi ate it and he mentioned the fact it was chocolate....ha! The interviews were interesting. I still think it's down to Mig and Marty. I was glad Marty and JD get to sing their songs again tonight. I think it's awesome that no matter what, there is spotlight on their talent. I liked both of the songs. They are different from one another, but show talent.

I don't think a singer has to be edgy to be effective though. It may be something acquired over time and gained confidence with the band. It would have been good if INXS had played with them more to help build an onstage relationship.

Good Morning Dave!

Have you actively been thinking of a "plan" to deal with the let down you are bound to experience once this show is over???

If so...please share it with us. I have no idea what I'm going to do when I can't have my thrice-weekly Dave fix!!! (It's the jeans son, you've spoiled us with those jeans) ;)

sorry, Claudinha. I went to bed early last night.
At the end of the show, when the credits are rolling, they show J. D. coming out with a huge ass-shaped cake. Next scene shows Suzie sticking her face in the crack of the cake and coming up with icing all over her face.
J. D. told them "it's chocolate."
Then when they're all sitting around eating the cake (with forks and plates, this time) he says, "Well, now we can all say we had a piece of ass while we were hear."

To me, the clips at the end of the show is the best.
~Dani~

that's "while we were here." sorry.

This clip was seconded only by the shot of Suzie wandering in alone and eating the remains of the "birthday cake-fight" that was left on the table. Right before that they showed J. D. sitting in the middle of the table.

~Dani~

Morning, Dave & 67’ers

Just wishing everyone a great day!

Love,
Sue

Hey Dave - Last week's Rock Star was shown in the UK last night and now I understand what all the fuss was about..... Those jeans were hot, hot, hot!!! Damn fine ass!!! Just don't ever wear them with that sexy red shirt us girls will not be able to contain ourselves :)

And I have to ask, do you always 'dress to the left' or just go with what is the most comfortable :o

tracey nb x

(I know, I can't believe I asked that either!)

I personally like Marty & Mig ") Im looking forward to hearing 'trees' again, like Marty said "it be nice if he could've sang trees three times live for millions of people too!

Dave,

Where am I going to get my fix after Rock Star is over? I'm going to miss seeing you three times a week.

Diane

One thing JD said was “only 11 days left�. I guess the finale will be next week?! I thought they’d get down to the Final Three, then Two but apparently not :(.

I wonder if the INXS guys read the boards. I have said many times (and I am sure that plenty of others have said) that Mig is great but doesn’t have the edginess that a frontman needs, and all the comments seem like things we say. I know that it’s probably just that they see what we see and form the same opinions, but maybe they lurk. They would be wise to read the boards, and take the comments as public opinion, to an extent, not as the final word. The public buys the albums. I like Marty, but JD seems more and more like the one that “fits�, if he can just overcome the bad boy image he has now. Suzie has a great voice, but I don’t know if she is quick enough under pressure to handle the questions, she froze last night, and that’s not the first time. It has to be tough to answer quickly without putting your foot in your mouth.

Hey, FYI --NYC 67’ers—Audioslave at MSG on Sat. 10/29! And Depeche Mode at MSG on 12/7. Hit me up if anyone else is going…

Love,
Sue

Wow, that boy has some talent! He does shares Dave's birthday.....

Sorry Sue, in all due respects, JD doesn't necessarily have it. I know I'm not alone in that, as every co-worker and friend I've spoken to about RSINXS agrees, the whole Elvis thing with JD is not ok. I personally wouldn't spend a dime on the band if he fronted them. No way.

However, to be fair, no one has a lock on this, from what I could see.

Marty wants to take the band in a direction that I don't know the band believes they want to go in. Suzie has the vocals, but can she take the pressure? Mig is 'too nice', which basically translates into is Mig not forceful enough to be a "part of the band" or merely just a singer. A band is a group effort. His theatrical background and his lack of being in the bottom three is working against him now. JD is saying what he needs to say to get the job, but I don't believe a word that comes out of his mouth. Does the band really want a game player in with them?

With that being said, which way does INXS go? The fans certainly believe in Mig. He's never been in the bottom three. Nice guy or not, perhaps they need to look at that and factor that in.

Either way, it's great television.

The cake - now that was a nice piece . . . I am going to have to make one of those - today is my mom's birthday, but I don't think it will be today. Dad's is next month. The hubby's is this weekend - I am afraid he will take it to heart. A chocolate cake shaped as an ass . . . what a way that mind works! I am not a JD fan, but he got my attention with THAT!

Would you like to eat a piece of ass?

hi dave just dropping a line to you in regards to something I saw on the Rockstar INXS boards in reguards to some JD fan bashing you . First I am a total JD fan as I am from his home area of pictou county nova scotia. Very proud to say he is my homeboy. I have been in the concert lighting biz for years and understand much of the goings on in the industry so JD is really living my dream as well as I have not achieved this type of sucess.( I have been very fortunate pardon the pun anyways)
I would like to say I am sorry on the behave of myself and I hope many of the JD fans who are very reasonable people and seem to me to be well educated. I hate to say that of course I have heard your name and know of jane's addiction and the red hot chilli peppers but I dont believe I have heard the cuts you played on. Love the chilli peppers but like most music I hear and see it on the tv and radio but dont act on picking up the CD. I want to finish by saying you have been totally fair in your hosting job and I have actually seen you grow as a person over the last two months. losing the boa and putting on the dress shirt certainly changed my thinking on you and i do promise to go out and find your recordings of the past and llook forward to your future works. Cheers A JD fan from Nova scotia

Hey dave
Did you check out Sasha Krivtsov birthday? It's 6/6/67

dave,

please tell billy duffy not to eat while hosting a radio show!!!! must be a british thing, wanker!

The art on that site looks really awesome. I'd love to have some of it hanging on my wall.

Did the black out affect you? Were you worried that is was more than just that? Hope you were safe and not stuck in traffic or an elevator! Love ya all!

hello dave!!!!!......

OK going back a few blog postings...

Why do you both have your hands on the wall.. I have always wondered when a guy does his business at the urinal why do they put their hand on the wall...

anyone ? anyone?

Hi all,

Just wanted to add my two cents to the final four discussion.

If Mig wins, I will quote J.D. and say 'I won't go out of my way to listen to that.' * yawn * He hasn't been in the bottom three. I want him to sing INXS, because the Westwood One INXS songs I heard were just awful! Also, how much of the voting can be attributed to fans manipulating the votes?

IMHO, there are only two contestants in this contest, J.D. and Marty. If either one wins this the headlines will be 'Bad Boy J.D. to front INXS' or 'Marty, the mad conductor, is new INXS front man'. Those two will compel us to follow the story. Will J.D. clean up his act? Can Marty supress the screaming and bring INXS into the future? Tune in to find out. If Mig or Suzie wins it, the story wil be buried away somewhere on page 14 with many of us (not all) saying 'Ah yes, very nice.' and moving on.

Please note, I think all four are fabulous and deserve huge props! For me it comes down to J.D. or Marty. Good luck to you OB:INXS. This is a very hard decision indeed.

BTW Dave, I can't wait to see you performing with the rawkers tomorrow night!

Yeah, I, too, noticed Billy was eating during the show right after Matt came in. Whatever it was, it sounded good! LOL!

Did the network buy the ass-shaped cake, or is that why J. D. wanted to borrow the 50 bucks from his mom?

~Dani~

Hey Billy, glad you're over your funk. Do you think you might take up some sort of humanitarian work on a semi-regular basis? I remember someone once saying there is nothing greater then the gift of contribution to the betterment of the world we share.

I've not been responding to your blog recently, but I have been reading it. Trying to find a place to live at the moment, as I'm between places.

Have a good sunday, and take it easy ...

Billy, I can't find Ozzy's glasses, lol? I was the first, and now it seems, only bidder, before you moved it to ebay.

could you post the link when it goes up?
I called back and pledged 50 dollars, and told the sweet girl that was answering the phone to spank you for referring to me as a 'bloke'!

Thanks to Kate, who not only was the high bidder on the Sunset Strip package, but also donated two of her own Camp Freddy tickets to the efforts, that's my girl!!

anyway, love to all,

Thanks Jezzi. I was glad to be of service. Whether it's giving blood, clothing, time, money, your ear or a smile, it does and can make a difference. Practicing those wonderful random acts of kindness each and every day makes it all worthwhile.

I'm meeting the promotions dude down by the radio station this afternoon to pass over the goodies.

Posted by: Kate | September 11, 2005

Last night's show was amazing!! Glad you're feeling better. We have a few thousand people here in Hot Springs taking refuge. It was so overwhelming to walk into the convention center last week and be able to put human faces and names to the tragedy we have all watched unfold on the television. I listened as several families recounted the event that changed their lives (I was told letting them tell me their story would be part of their healing process), watched my young son interact with children his age who were trying to make sense of their new routine and circumstances, and watched with awe as our church managed to feed hundreds of people on a moments notice. This storm not only changed a city, but lives. I know it's put a new perspective on mine. I wish everyone a good Sunday and a beautiful week.
Peace-

Billy, my boyfriend's mother went to China over the summer and bought Star Wars 1-3 for my boyfriend for $8. She didn't realize that they were probably bootlegged, she didn't know that the third episode wasn't out on DVD yet. But anyway, it's in English with the option of English subtitles. However, the subtitles are from another movie! We think they are from "The Piano". It's pretty funny to watch with the subtitles on.

How does Camp Freddy feel about profitors on Charity? The show at the Key Club is a charity show, yet there are people on EBAY and Craig's list selling these tickets for profit? How does Camp Freddy feel about that and do you plan on doing anything about that? It's very disappointing that people who really enjoy Camp Freddy cannot go because of people like this. Just wondered what your thoughts were!

keep up the good work!

Is it just my piece-of-crap computer, or is the Panic Community down again???

And I am so ready with my charge card to get my Camp Freddy shirt---let's go!!!!! :-)

bro is that mig taking a leak next to you in that photo? is he really that small? he looks like a GIANT on TV??????????????

Hi Elizabeth, I can't get into the Panic Community either. I keep getting an error message.

So last night I watched the repeat @ 1:00am on VH1 and it was really good. So Suzie choked on a question...oh well. It happens. I remeber reading Rolling Stone when I was a teenager and the reporter wrote that Dylan lit a cigarette backwards @ Live Aid. So rockstars mess up 2. I like Marty and Suzie. J.D. is fun 2 watch as well. Mig is a great person. So they said on this site J.D. had a drug problem in Canada. A first for a rockstar. And I believe Suzie is reallly strong, like INXS told her when she first sat down. So why did they question if she could handle it? That girl is as strong as 2 men. peace--ck

Hi Dave,

Missed you on CFR Saturday night. As sexy as your ass looks on TV, it's not half as sexy as hearing your voice on the radio.

Although I've asked you questions before and you've never answered them (I understand you're a tad busy and get asked a lot of questions), I'm going to try again. This is important, Dave, what muppet do you admire the most and why? For me, it's all about Ms. Piggy. I love the gal's spunk.

Take care,
Jessie

*remember* correction

Hi Dave and everyone from TPC.
I love you all :)

When INXS wrote the song "us" and was performed by the last seven. I pretty sure they already know who is best suited for the band. I maybe wrong, but their future is well planned out. They didn't get this far by being haphazard and making decisions on a whim. Any comments?
George

Hi Dave,
Whoever did the Camp Freddy poster and T-shirt for the Key Club can't spell!!
It says "Thurdsay" on the poster and "benifit" on the T-shirt!
Maybe you could correct the spelling on my T-shirt and maybe sign it: Edited by Dave.

Jazzie

Hey Jazzie I noticed that as well. Something wrong in the editing department...

Dave,

Speaking of art. I recall a painting of seven dwarves...

I recently came across one on ebay and never knew that it was by John Wayne Gacy (sp?). It was a trip.

Do you still have it?

Hey dave, you seen this:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PERKINS!

LOVE
AER

DAVE!!!!!! Remember, well no, you wouldn't remember, but did you know the third question of mine you ever answered, the first being one about Camp Freddy, the second about your beautiful hazel eyes, was when I asked on this very date, one year ago, if it was Stephen Perkins birthday today?

HA, that's when I found out my son and Perk were birthday buddies, do you have any birthday buddies?

and two, I know you love DVDs of TV shows, have you ever watched any seasons of a guilty pleasure of Mike and mine....Gilmore Girls?

it's ok to admit it, Alexis Bledel is unbelievably easy on the eyes
love
jezzi(Hi Blanca! Happy day after your birthday to you)

Dave,

You are amazing! My wife and I watch Rockstar all the time and we love your comments and mentoring as it were for the artists. THough I hope you never stop your music drive, I hope you continue to do the host/commentator/director angle. You got the goods on that one too.
Checking out the Rockstar website I saw that J.D. is from Oakville, Ontario which is right next to where we live and I grew up (Burlington). Ya he can be a jerk but he has the talent and the drive, my wife is pulling for him, me I like Marty.
Have a good one

Mike

'Morning all!

I wanted to ask, I saw Sunday night's show on VH-1, and I never saw a cake in the shape of buns, nor did I see Suzie sink her face in it...when/where did you guys see that?

Just curious!

Claudinha P.S. Have a nice day all!

after the end of the show, they usually go to commercials. After the commercials, when the credits are rolling for the show, they show extra clips.

That's where it was. That and the one with J. D. sitting in the middle of the demolished cake.

Oh, I am hoping they will make a DVD and put all these in the outakes. I'd be the first in line to buy it.

~Dani~

I am sickened by the fact that these "BENEFIT" tickets were sold for $15.00 each and somone is selling them for $115 and for profit. Do people no longer have a conscience? Hopefully they giving the extra $ to Benefit victims and not just pocketing the $, but I doubt it.

Someone had some extra tickets and called Camp Freddy Radio and donated them...they sold some of the items on Ebay so everyone would have a chance at them.

Maybe that's what you are talking about???

Check out the archived stream from PanicRadio up top on the right to hear about it.

~Dani~

Has anyone else noticed 6767 acting wonky lately, or is it just me????

~Dani~

I was the one that had the extra tickets and donated them to CF for the auction, but yeah...supposively they were auctioned off for around $250? I was VERY happy to have extra tickets to donate.

But someone else is selling tickets on ebay. Not sure if they are doing it for profit or for donation (I tend to think the former rather than the latter). NOT cool if it's for profit.

Yep Dani, thanks, I need to pay more attention!

Yes, our dear 6767 is acting funny...unless it is just us, since we always seem to coincide! :)

Claudinha (in pain with my wrist, will be back later)

Hi Dave! Were you impacted at all by yesterday's trippy black-out?

maybe the blackout had far-reaching effects....hmmmm....

Hey, Dave! Where were you when the lights went out???

~Dani~

Looks like if the tickets were for a donation it would say so on the bid site.

Also looks like Ebay would frown on that sort of thing since it's illegal. It is illegal, isn't it? :S

Just wanted to wish all a very good day and I was wondernig if there was anymore Info about the Acoustical auction? (waiting paitently with borrowed monies)

Love and hugs and I hope that everyone finds something to laugh about today.

Lord knows it's hard but try....

love

pet

Oh there are some on Craiglist too. I mean I have no problem paying the price, however, not to mention its charity, or that the extra money would go to charity is wrong. I have other choices words but won't say them. I already got bitched out by one of the sellers for telling them they were idiots and they responded that they donated alot of money to charity and to mind my own business. Whatever!!!

EBAY won't do anything unless someone who is involved in the benifit gets the auctions taken off.

What do you all think of having an auction area on 6767? We would auction off items to help non-profits which Dave supports.

6767 is acting and feeling kinda funny, like when I used to slide down the rope in gym class.

Chafino- that's a great idea...

Wayne, that is funny!

Go for the auction, Dave! Even we could donate stuff (obviously of value)...I paint, so that could be a possible donation, a painting or collage... you just holding my painting would make someone else want it, so you could make some dough for all the great causes you support...:smiling: Dave's a doll!

Think about it, Dave & Chafi!

Claudinha

I think that is a great idea, since we know its going to charity and not some loser's pocket!

Sasha was in The New Radicals and they had my favorite song from '98. It rocked and dissed Beck, Love, and Manson all in 1 line. And ya know what else? I heard that song last night on NBC's MEDIUM and the LATE SHOW w/Letterman on one of their little audience kill time deals so...Sasha I hope you get a check. (Medium was a repeat,2) -------peace. ck ps--I love Beck and all of 'em, that song just rocked--

Love the auction idea!

Auction, Auction, yah yah yah

If Dave can't do it, nobody can!

(See what those painkillers do to you?)

Cannot wait for tonight!!

Signorina Claudinha

I can't wait for tonight either~!
The performance shows just get better and better!

I hope INXS and Dave perform again tonight!

~Dani~

First and foremost before anyone gets the wrong idea I have never scalped a ticket and I don’t foresee myself doing it anytime soon. But about the scalpers, yeah it sucks but the money that was going to be raised for that was still raised. Even if you have to buy one of a scalper $15 dollars of that still went to the Red Cross Hurricane Relief fund. And since they really didn’t advertise it, the majority of Dave, Billy, TPC and VR fans knew about it and were able to get their tickets. I didn’t have money so I had a friend loan me the money to get it immediately but had I not got it, like in any other concert I would have resorted to buying one on e-bay, craigs list or whatever. We are lucky that they didn’t advertise it before or else it would have sold out in a matter of minutes like all other hot concert tickets versus 3 days. And although it blows to pay more than you have to, everyone has to feed their families somehow. Personally I couldn’t sell a ticket to another fan and make money of it since it would just feel wrong but to the people that do, well they live with themselves.

Again bottom line the money that was intended to be raised was and for those of us that got tickets for $10 dollars or $15 well we got a steal. I would have borrowed a little over 100 for them…

by the way I love the auction idea

Another hot song from '98---Sex and Candy by Marcy Playground. ---I heart Tuesdays--- Hi Birdy! :)

That is a cool song... my brother-in-law says that is his song for my sister...it cracks me up every time I hear it...she just rolls her eyes!

I see your point on the charity money getting there. However, they wouldn't be getting that person would not be getting the extra money had CF not offered to do the show.

I just think it is bad bad taste.

As for not getting a ticket when they sold. I had one bought for me or so I thought and we had a misunderstand ( thinking the other was buying the ticket )and we didn't get ours. Luckily, someone who remembered me from a previous show, offered me his extra ticket. So I am going.

I just think it is wrong to profit from a charity show. Othershows, yeah I get it. But a charity show, just bad taste IMO. To each there own. Wendy I totally get where you are coming from though...... =)

Hi Dave,

Huge fan I am. Read your book..awesome...reading Neil's book The Game...dude is he for real? I read you are friends with him..did he change that much?

By the way..my wife says you looked great when you were on stage with INXS, jamming the new song...

Welcome, Elizabeth The Painter.....whoever you are!!! :-)

Can't wait for "RockStar" tonight--it should be awesome!!! And of course, waiting and checking online for the Camp Freddy shirts.....

Hey, can't the people who didn't get in on the 6767 shirts because they were big-busted have first shot at the new shirts? Just suggesting.... ;-)

ROCKSTAR just started.
¿Can BROOKE BURKE's skirt get any shorter?
She looks amazing!!!!

Later,
Mike from NYC

Now I know why Dave hasnt been here lately. He has been learning the songs for this show! WTG! awesome show!

Dave and DN Family,

Great show tonight!
The only one that I did not vote for was MIG. I thought that his performance was not as strong as the others.

It was great to see DAVE perform again. It's about time.

You know, I still can't get PRETTY VEGAS and the length of BROOKE's skirt out of my head.

Later,
Mike from NYC

Dsve rocked, MAN those were some kick ass biceps on that boy!

I am going off to vote~

Claudinha

Dave.....Nice....Thankx for ending on a proper note.....you looked great babe!!!!!!!!!have a nice one ya all........loves ya:)

Dave.....Nice....Thankx for ending on a proper note.....you looked great babe!!!!!!!!!have a nice one ya all........loves ya:)

Brooke was wearing a skirt? I thought she was just wearing a belt. But hey, what do I know about fashion...

Dave.....Nice....Thankx for ending on a proper note.....you looked great babe!!!!!!!!!have a nice one ya all........loves ya:)

LostBoy, you always make me laugh!

What a night !!!

Still jazzed from the performances tonight.

Dave, this show is honestly the best television in the past decade. You so blew me away with your playing tonight. I can't imagine anyone going home.

I sit here with a glass of wine, listening to the Counting Crows ( Goodnight Elizabeth ) thinking how I get up, go to work every day to a job that pays the bills but leaves me depressed at the end of the day. I love my kids, my wife, but I feel empty. I hope that you are loving your life right now. You deserve it !

(I'm not anything at all, I'm not a monster, I'm just a friend that raves and drools )

Peace,

David

Hi Dave...

i just read your post...i am all about changing myself when unhappy...and i do understand that you have responsabilities... do you have any alternatives to working on something that you might love?

i heard that whatever made you happy as a child is what you should try to do in life...for me it was drawing/painting, and as soon as i gave it my full attention 2 years ago, life started changing for the better. i always created but did small spurts here and there, but it was such a great turn on to be creating and feeling fulfilled...

have a good night and think about what i said
not a genius or an expert, just someone who has been there!

good luck!

Can't wait for Rockstar to air tonight, I mean, I can't wait to see Brooke tonight by the sounds of things...

Great show tonight! Glad to see you onstage Dave! As people mentioned earlier, what are we gonna do when this show is over for our weekly DN fix? You looked Mahvelous

Brooke looked like she was going to walk out of that skirt!

Oh, and Dave? Loved those leather pants!!

~Dani~

I am going to really miss the show when it's over. The talent has been great. I was actually happy Jordis didn't make it, I can't wait to buy her solo album, she is amazing. Suzy captivates me which is odd because I didn't really like her in the beginning. Mig is too plastic, JD is too dramatic and Marty is Marty.
This may not received the ratings of American Idol but the talent was so much better.

I enjoyed seeing DN on stage tonight, I am just a middle aged woman but I too liked the leathers!

I missed the end of the show Tuesday. Anyone know who is in the bottom three? It would really help me out to know.
George

Cool artwork, thanks for the link. Ever consider asking him to do some album art for TPC?

Dave and everyone else

Please don't go read the Rockstar boards. I made that mistake and paid the price for it. Some people got up in arms about MiG's jacket and anyone who has tried to be reasonable with them has been called everything but Osama Bin Laden's love child. Me included. I'm so wound up I can't sleep. I got attacked by a rabid dog claiming to be a Marine who bit my leg off for suggesting that if he was going to send the letter he posted to his Congressperson like he said he was, that he might want to correct the spelling on it because it was pretty bad in spots, and I know from a friend who used to work in a congressman's office that they throw away stuff that rants and has bad spelling because it's considered to be a crackpot letter.

dave -

sweet jesus! brooke looked incredible in that skirt!

TAP THAT ASS!!! u know u could if u wanted to...

i'd like to think that carmen would be into it, if u maybe just invited brooke over for dinner one night... then boooYAH.

ah, to be a rockstar.

yeah so anywaze. here's the breakdown on RS:

JD - voice best fits the bands back catalog, but the guy's a total dick. at least 2 or 3 of the inxs band members WILL NOT want to deal with this kid. if he wasnt such an asshole and if he'd cut the backstreet boy routine of jumping around on stage and saying stupid shit to the crowd... he'd be the easy choice. but he is what he is.

SUZY - she rocks. she was killing for a while there, but tonight's performance wasn't her best. 2-3 weeks ago, i though she was on her way to being the lead singer of the band. but when she needed to be kicking it up a notch and stealing the show, she faltered. the nervousness seemed to prevail tonight and the performance was average.

MIG - he's perfect for We Will Rock You or any other vegas-type show... while the guitar was tight on Paint It Black, Mig was weak as circus lemonade. if mick was dead, he'd be turning in his gave.

MARTY - the man. the only real choice for INXS. his style is different than what they'd prefer, but he's original and amazingly talented. he rocked the most tongiht. but that's nothing new. all in all, he's rocked the house more of the time than anyone else.

Put all your money on Marty, dave.... and invite brooke over for dinner.

damn dave... over 134 comments.

just killing time, can't sleep.

are you hyped yet about the camp freddy gig?

i haven't been to a show since march i think, should be amazing.

danielle

My oh my oh my!!

We Australians have just viewed the latest RS-INXS performance show (better late than never) and can I just say how HOT was Dave!! Dave you were looking mighty mighty fine!
Nevermind the last four standing, Dave totally stole the show!

BUT getting back to the contestants, the performance show certainly proved it's now only between two....JD who is really talented but really Irks me and Marty who I think should win hands down, though I only hope in the big picture INXS dosen't let him down!

DAVE..........MISS YA...........HEY GUYZ.....SORRY ABOUT THE THREE POSTS...I FORGOT TO TYPE IN THE REST OF MY E-MAIL ADDRESS....I WAS OVEREXCITED ABOUT THE SHOW AND I TRYED TO FIX IT PLUS IT WAS STORMING HERE REALLY BAD AND GOT EXCITED OVER THAT TOO...WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO...I HOPE VH1 REPLAYS IT ..THAT WOULD BE NICE.....EVEN IF IT MEANS WE CRY ALL OVER AGAIN....DANG...HAVE A GOOD ONE YA ALL........

I have been meaning to post here for ages.. but all i can think of writing is some lame ... "I love you Dave". After watching your brilliant performance on rockstar last night, i just have to find the nerve to write here to tell you how much i have enjoyed reading your blog, have a wee crush on you since Red Hot Chili Peppers days and admire the things that you do for charity. "Dave, saya sayang kamu."

I have been coming to work late on Wednesdays and Thursdays these last couples of months as the live performances are in the morning in this part of the world (I am from Malaysia by the way). Don't know how i can handle the withdrawal symptoms after next week... Hope INXS will be coming to this part of the world in their coming world tour...

and another thing... go marty!!!

Dave great work last night. Quick question- if they had a RS:2, would you want to do it again?

DAVE, DAVE, DAVE

Best show yet last night! Just outstanding; the closest to a real concert I've seen on the show yet. Though it's been said again and again, and acknowledged by you, the House Band is amazing too. Not bad harmony either. And you were in superstar form last night, as always. Though I miss Jordis, as a fellow St. Paul Minnesota resident, we congratulate her and proudly welcome her home, and can't wait to see her on the next TPC/CF/solo album. So I guess since I can't cheer for Jordis, "GO MIG". Can't wait for RS2!! Do we get the inside scoop on when that's happening? --shout to angel, jezz, moo, spacey :)

Dave,
You rocked hard last night. It was so great to see you on stage!

How about that JD punk kissing on Dave? That cracked me up. My wife kept rewinding that and pausing on it.

Hey Dave and all,

I think Suzi may leave tonight. And once again-last night was a treat to see you up there jammin' with each of them. It was awsome.

Hi Dave,
Your inbox at the board is full!

Thought you might like to read this (part 1 of 4 in a series on Autism)

You rocked on RS:INXS last night!

Have a great day D & 67’ers.
Love,
Sue

Morning amigos...

OK, so how does the rockstar show go now? No more performances? I didn't get what Brooke meant, don't they keep voting down until 1-2 are left standing? DUH. Someone please tell me?

Thanks!
Claudinha

I bet they'll just pick the winner next week instead of sending home another person.

I dunno... I think it may end up being Marty that leaves. He went back to the screaming last night. Hard call all round.

Monday is the last show, so I think 2 peeps get sent home tonight, there are no more elimination shows scheduled, but, I could be wrong

jezzi(litte miss can't be right)

Hi Dave!

I'm new at this so bear with me. I hope you don't mind me asking this question. Can you please tell me how tall you are?? You're a sweetheart and I wish you and Carmen many loving years together! My husband and I love watching you on Celebrity Poker Showdown. My husband says you're a great poker player!

Carol - 16 yrs of marriage and 3 boys.

Good morning, all!

Great show last night. It was awesome to see Dave up there rocking out again.

Unfortunately, I might have to miss tonight's elimination show. :( Waah. I have a feeling Suzie's going to go, but it's really anyone's call.

Have a fabulous day,

Carmen is on Tony Danza's show right now, talking about her scorpions... cute..

Great show last night Dave!!! How are you holding up on this Black Wednesday???

One week ago today I was rockin' with you guys at the elimination show! In fact, I was standing directly in front of you! (the cute blonde with a dazzling smile! ha-ha!) Had a BLAST and will blog about it soon. Thanks for autographing my favorite cd cover (yours of course) - you're the best!!

Isn't it weird to think that RIGHT NOW they are taping the elimination show? Someone is singing INXS for the last time...
