i turn 30 today. and i am bummed! please tell me life in your 30s can be just as fun as life in your 20s (actually, if i just have have half the fun i did in my 20s, then i am set)

oh can you give me satan's phone number, i'm convinced that you and your mates like navarro, cantrell, sorum, duffy, kiedis, etc, have made a deal with the devil. you all have full heads of hair and generally seem somewhat fit. i see some dudes in or close to the age of 40 and they look like they got hit and dragged by a truck.

bobbi O...HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

I can tell you, from personal experience, that the older I get, the sweeter life is. Hope you enjoy your day and don't fret...30 is a great, great age to be!

Billy...I'm voting for Mig, JD and Jordis. I believe Mig is the front runner, JD's talent cannot be overlooked no matter how big a jerk he is and Jordis is not right for INXS at all, but will have an amazing solo career. I just keep voting for her as a show of respect.

Are you going to find time in your hectic schedule to pop in on the Rock Star Poker event that Dave is playing at in Las Vegas later this month???

How is Harry Potter coming??? From the sounds of it...you've probably had no time to read. Have you heard spoilers...do you know how it ends???

Have a beautiful Thursday, Billy!

Mig's definitely got my vote as well. He's consistently good, and an easy fit for the band. Jordis, while excellent, would be a harder sell for INXS (just my opinion). Marty is a close second in my book. Either could work.

October, eh? Bwahahahahahahha. So do I get my mates from the UK, Germany and Romania to pop over for this one Billy? Can't Wait!

Kick-a%% boots btw...

Happy Birthday, bobbi O! I cried on my 30th (from what I remember) try 37 (2 weeks!)

So Billy, when you receive your boots, you have to post a pic! (BTW, I had emailed a pic for the Rogues Gallery..)

Have a great day..

Billy.

Mig all the way here, he's the right guy with the right voice, look etc. Jordis and Marty are obviously the most talented, it would serve them better in the long run if they didn't get the job, the exposure alone will get them a shot at the big time.

JD belongs on "The Real World", he's just playing a character..

Thanks,
Jay

Billy,

One more thing, about the boots, I'm down. I think you should throw on a puffy shirt and play a continuous loop of Adam and the Ants for old time sake.

Could pirate chic be in vogue once again?

Sweet..

A good Thursday to all,
Jay

Jay, you should be over here now, we've got some kind of revamped gypsy pirate thing going on in fashion.
(I keep seeing things, and going damn I had that in the 80's, way back..when I was 14, 15, 16...)
Billy, I remember those boots too!
So cool you got them. :D
Did someone in Bow Wow Wow wear them? I'm not sure if it was them, or someone else..well the obvious would be Adam and the Ants. I swear I remember one of the guys wearing those. (breaking into song.."Memories" a song which I can't stand, but it's bloody stuck permanently in my brain)
I had the cheaper copies of those boots. Same boots, all red. Damn, did they take the piss out of me in the States wearing those. I almost got expelled for wearing black suede pirate ankle boots to school. And my classmates even told me I'd gone too far, when I showed up in school with feathers plaited in my hair. Oh the joy! My boyfriend wouldn't go to the Ants concert with me because I'd taken up face painting, he was too embarrassed to be seen with me in public. Must have been just not the right guy for me! :D
Yo Ho Ho!

October, LA..hmm...thanks Billy!
Love to all
Lisa

Happy Birthday Bobbi O!
I was fine on my 30th. I had too much to think about I guess back then.
I'm crying now. 39 in October.
I know the feeling though.
Numbers. I dunno. Let's be rid of the number thing. If I didn't know what age I was. I'd be happier I'm sure!
So, er, drink and be merrie, and forget your age. (I cannot believe I just advised someone to go have a drink! :D I'd drink coke myself)

I'm only down with the boots if you get the kilt too....

http://www.metronews.co.uk/magazine/article/0/156_go_westwood_young_man.html

I am only down with the boots and kilt if you promise to go commando AND wear them while playing on a stage at least six feet above our heads..oh yeah,, the stage needs to be clear plexi....;p

Where do I get in line for THIS show??

I am sure Billy will let the cat out of the bag on that show when the time comes..
oh wait er..um that sounds bad.. um.. I am sure Billy will inform us as to where we can buy tickets to see his.. oh wait.. no
um..

oh .. and just a thought..
if you do wear the kilt and the boots.. we think you may as well dive all the way in and get the squiggle eye patch too.

LOL put me in line for that show too, I love a man in a kilt. yummy!!! ;)

El and heidi, didn't I tell you both to behave before I went to bed last night? ;b

Don't mean to be pessimistic but when we kind of expected some Doheny news, based on the July 23rd blog and today it's everyones taking a break, my confidence is not, shall we say inspired.

I just get the feeling things are going too hot, I see it is totally not within the bands hands to make or break themselves but it sounds a real bummer. It's great Billy that you have so much to do to keep you busy. I just wish for you guys that is was just Dohenyand it becomes what you want it to be, and not 'what it could have been'.

FYI

Camp Freddy t-shirts will be available at tower records in newport beach sat august 13th at 10am.limited supply.

Per/CF board

Excuse me, if I may?

Billy, you...Jen...boots...kilts...CF t-shirts...and a DOG!!

jezzi(Christmas card?)

I think the world would be a *much* better place if we all wore scrunchy boots & lacy pirate shirts!! I don't know that the kilt thing translates to everyday wear all that well, but if certain musicians (who shall remain nameless) decide that the kilt is their new look, I'd be ok with that. As long as they don't cut their hair!!

Have a good weekend everyone - we're escaping to the mountains to get out of the heat here in PA. It's downright unbearable!

I hope MiG is the next vocalist for INXS. I like Jordis too, but I think they should stick to having a male lead vocalist. I think a lot of them would be very good in their own band and should pursue a career in singing, but they aren't right for fronting INXS.

Just called Tower Records in Costa Mesa (closest Tower to Npt Bch) & they said no they don't have Camp Freddy t-shirts.
In fact "Who are they?" was the response.
D'OH!!!

Hey Billy.Do you know if CF or Doheny will be in San Diego anytime soon? thanks bro

Hi Billy,
I think you are right on with the INXS picks.

Is it hard to get into a CF performance?
Are people waiting outside for hours? or can you get tickets in advance?

Thanks,

Matt s.

(laughing at Linda)

It's always about the hair, isn't it?

:-P

Why are labels being so stupid?

Doheny needs music out.

ok, let me rephrase that....

i need to be able to buy Doheny music.

Ever considered going the DIY route, building your own little studio in your basement, and just doing any entire album that way? Labels have to love when they don't need to sink any money into anything.

Sorry about the tower records news bit. I should have checked the source.... I just took it for granted that it was true, didn't question it. I guess I was just excited.

Billy the Rock Star taping was definitely interesting to say the least...
It was nice to see you and Jen there.
