Nice to have you posting again.

Have fun in the keys! You should also look into the florida spring system in central florida.

Sending positive energy...

Glad your back Billy!

My question is: Whats your position on downloading music from torrents or other sources that you dont pay for? Do you think its ok if the person goes and buys the cd afterwards deciding they liked what they heard or if they simply download it and never go and buy the cd.

Thanks
Kelly!

Hi Billy! So glad to have you back in
the swing of things. Trust me, you have
TONS of fans that were concerned.

Postive vibes going your way :) Db

UGH-POSITIVE! sorry about the spelling

Are you kidding about hoping we were glad to have you back? I am co-dependent, and I worry a lot! Welcome home, and I hope I get to chat with you tomorrow night on CFR. Be well sweet man!

Billy,

Great attitude in the face of adversity.

Sending a lot of positive energy your way,

Caff Sue

So many are happy you're back, Billy~ "Never let the haters win." -peace, clk

glad your back billy-your a 180 on the dart board duder

A proverb for you:

Support bacteria -- it's the only culture some people have!

And if you need a better one:

You can lead a fool to wisdom, but you can't make him think.

Nice to see you back

Welcome back.
Question for ya.
WTF is Serrato??

Hey, we all need a break from things sometimes. Glad to see you easing back. It took me a long time to start doing what I enjoy doing with music. It's not everyone's "cup of tea" and for the most part it's been positive. There are times....haha. I never knew how tough the skin has to be.
You've got awesome things going on in your life and surrounded by those that love you. There will always be MF's to lay rain on the parade. I think they just don't know how to join the parade so try ruining it for everyone. Though in saying that, maybe you haven't heard what I do and if you did, you may throw buckets at me.
Sorry to go on and on here. Just leaving love and respect.
There is always pretending the buggers are standing in their underwear!
Keep up the awesome work, you really have done awesome things and some of us are jealous, haha. Envious a better term I suppose.

Much Peace and Horns up (and up the ass of those that deserve it too)

YEA!! Billy's back! Good to "see" ya!
Ya know....2 out of three of us got the emails from Bacardi that we had tickets.
The problem was getting a cheap flight to Miami (or Ft. Lauderdale). I almost had it down to flying in THE morning of the show and flying out Sunday morning (this way I didn't have board the cats just leave a huge bowl of food. They wouldn't even notice I was gone). That would have been totally RnR! But sadly due to finances... :-(
So a NYC Camp Freddy show...yea you know the drill!

If there is any place that can renew the spirit and recharge your battery in the world it's definitely the FL Keys! You and Jen will have a GREAT relaxing time. A very easy laid back lifestyle on those tiny Islands.

No questions today, just glad to see you back!

Nice to see you back Billy...have a great show tonight!

Billy!!!!!!!!
ummmm....what can I say that hasn't already been said?

love,
jezzi(hi)

Billy! Welcome back. I am glad you are alright. I just hope you and Dave aren't in any sort of squabble. I dont want to speculate though without concrete info. As long as your health and marriage is ok..the rest will sort itself out. Thanks for posting that Bacardi link before all of this...I was able to get tix thru that lottery, and I am going to see the show. I am SO looking forward to it. Please talk about the details tonight on the show...I remember you said someting a while back about Lenny Kravitz joining you? Or did I dream that...Peace and Love, Slice x

Billy, glad to see you easing back into the world of the 'net. Glad to see you! Understand and can respect your need to work things out on your own and hope things are getting back on track.

Wish I had won mega millions so that we would be down in Miami next weekend for the Camp Freddy show, but alas, not meant to be! Hope to catch you at another gig in the near future (preferably one that does not require me to be on a plane!)

It's been almost a year since the Saturn party for the Auto Show when Camp Freddy played on the top of the Hard Rock marquee. Any chance of CF playing in NYC again for the auto show?

Have a great one and glad to have you back! We all missed you!

Where's the Love?
Oh, it's right here amongst all of us!
Billy, So Glad to have you back. Looking forward to CFR tonight.

SO glad to have you back Billy!!!! Also glad to hear you are diving again. Q&A - what's the deepest you've dived? My brother got narcosis of the deep once, and was trying to buddy breath with a moray eel. not good. I've only been down one fathom... decided it wasn't for me.

Billy-
I have 3 extra tickets for the B-Live show.
Just wanted to put it out there- if anyone is in need or if you want to give them away on CFR. Don't know if we're allowed to do that- but I thought I'd offer.

And I'll see you there!!!!

-Maggie

Welcome back Billy. You were missed tons.

-Wendy

Billy,
How did these DJ gigs come about for you? Do you inquire about the possibility of entertaining the beautiful people, or are your 103.1 skillz so respected that people line up to ask you?
Also, does your playlist include "thump-thump" music or is the focus more rock 'n roll smash-ups?

the morrison clan here definitely loves and adores you mate! it's just not the same when ur not around
i know shit happens and life isnt always user-friendly....but i too am thankful & grateful that you are ok and back in the swing of things....much luv and positivety to you and your loved ones B.............UC13

Great to hear from you Billy!
I'll tune into CFR tonight.
Love and hugs
Lisa

Hey Billy! We're so happy to see that you're back here posting. Looking forward to this weekends CFR. Much love from: the girls from the Sorum Forum.

though i don't post often anymore, i am here every day for my billy fix... you were def missed, you have a lot of people here who love, respect and adore you. :)

A question about djing... I've noticed lately quite a few musicians doing djing gigs, just read that Paul from Franz Ferninand will be doing a couple and you too. What do you think it is that draws musicians to djing, besides the fun. :)

*hugs*
tina

Billy,
You're gracious to share as much as you do. Glad you're cool and back on track. Looking forward to tonight's CFR.

"See" you all there!!
Bonita

Great you're back Billy!

I have missed your blog, the family & CFR for a couple of months now I'm looking forward to hearing you tonite!

Hugs to all XXX

Wonderful having an intelligent dialogue with a member of the opposite sex that wasn't about porn, or sports..haha

Stopped into the chatroom tonight to have a listen, great show!

I'll have to call-in one of these days,

Caff Sue

Hey Billy, it was good to hear you in such a chipper mood tonight. Sorry about all my rambling, just having a rough night. Take care.

Opinions are like assholes. So here are several from one of the biggest:

Billy,

Just saw your video blog from a few weeks back, and I must say that I can understand your need to take a step back. You seem like a very sensitive, enthusiastic, big-hearted, open, generous, appreciative, motivated guy, with some very dear, dedicated and loyal fans (who will probably rip me a new one just as soon as I hit “submit”). But if I may, some well-meaning advice from someone who has been around the block a few too many times:

If your “day in the life of a rock star” thing was meant tongue-in-cheek, bravo, well done, you get it, but if not…

Enough with the tattoos that admittedly mean nothing, the overly zealous and excessive work out routines (even god rested on the seventh day for fuck’s sake). And yo yo yo Tupac, I won’t even go into the Big Brother/NAMBLA/Freud would have a field day shooting range episode with that poor child from the Osbournes. And the driving of the over-priced vehicle while video blogging??? Now I remember why I have to drive so defensively in L.A. -- there are rock stars on the road trying to drive and talk about themselves on camera at the same time! Stop trying to be Dave Navarro. The man wears makeup to the gym. I've seen it, it's disturbing. Don’t waste your time trying to emulate a bunch of guys who would attend the opening of a door for a bag of high-end toiletries and enough free publicity to gloss over the fact that they haven’t written a decent song in decades. And by the way, Billy Duffy will never write anything that doesn’t suck as long as he continues to flat-iron his hair. FYI, the world doesn’t need another reality show, any more than we need another sober rock star. What we need is better music. So keep your hands on the wheel, your eyes on the road, and for the love of god, get out of L.A. before it’s too late, and write a song I can hum along to.

Ino Ino Isuck, it sounds like you're a little disenchanted with LA as well as music in general. If the usual music and musician aren't doing it for you anymore, maybe it's time to find something new.

Just an opinion, like yours.

Cue the U2 song 'Acrobat'...."Don't let the b"""""ds grind you down"!

Love & light x

ino ino i suck-just a question.....when you say the world dosnt need another rock star are you basically saying that all rock stars should be fucked up on drink and drugs all the time?
people go on drugs drink(i know ALL about drink) for whatever reason but they dont do it to be cool.

*sober rock star*

ino ino...hum. The only thing I can think of from reading what was written is that, why isn't ino writing a song he can hum to? Maybe my opinion on all of those that don't like what they find on the market today aren't supporting those that would love to make songs. The damn market is full of the "usual" and it's because that is what is selling. I see what makes the top of the charts and it's all so much of the same thing, but it sells. A good rock album comes out and is virtually ignored because the market isn't marketing the good rock and roll. Once in a while something makes it on the chart, but all I see are a bunch of kids shaking it to some mindbending boring shit that has a dancible beat. I no longer care for radio either. I find most stations either play stuff 20 years old or more, or the top charts that I don't care much about. Maybe it's just my opinion and it counts for nothng.
I feel that if people want to hear rock and roll, they should buy rock and roll and support the musicians for their music. Everyone seems to want it for free, and the price paid is a lot of musicians not being supported for what they do best, and a lot of side gigs pay better.
Hell what do I know, I've never been around the block.

hey Billy, delighted you are back. missed ya. today i am doing a good impersonation of a blancmange, so no input from me and no questions either - just wanted to send you one large fluffy cyber hug. just fuck 'em, don't let anyone get to you.
V.

Billy,

With upcoming Cult commitments, will Duffy be available "enough" to give Circus Diablo a fair shot?

Let's hope there's room for both.

A good Sunday to all,
Jay

Welcome back, Billy. If any of your DJ gigs are open to the public, I'll see you there. Glad whatever was wrong is something you're moving on from.

XOXO

Um, hello Billy this is a total trip so I am just gonna tell u just in case you haven't already heard....... The other night on an ABC or NBC show, one that I don't normally watch so therefore I can't recall the name, but trust me it is "prime time" tv there was a story line involving one English rock star living in the states and his Blog was being hacked by some sicko that was on a rampage and Billy, it was just a freaking trip......They even have the blog up and running on the net!!!! Here is the addy, www.nigelblog.com !!! OMG!!! Go there Billy, it is a fu**ing trip! OK, was it just a bloody coincidence that your blog was being messed with at the same time? Hell if I know, but dude, it makes me just wonder, WHAT THE FUCK?!?! I hope your weekend is kicking ass with this "perfect weather'" --- RHCP. Love your Blog Billy, it is now official, THE NETWORKS KNOW WE FUCKING ROCK & ROLL! peace.

Hi Billy, just tuning in to the podcast and wondering if you have recovered from your ALL ABOUTS indulgence? :)Happy SUNday Db

Hey Billy!

Glad to have you back blogging! I can totally understand needing to step back from everything. You've come so far in the last 12 years - climbing out of the gutter... marrying a beautiful lady... camp freddy... cirus diablo... loyal fans who panic when you drop off the radar...

Billy when your down in that boat off Miami, can you just grab a few keys and fedex it to me...i better give you my details offline cause the narcs could be onto me...ok sweet...rock on rocktron

this is getting weird

I checked out http://www.nigelblog.com that was mentioned above. The site does have a very Morrison-like vibe to it. I also did a little research, the character of Dr. Nigel Townsend is from the television show Crossing Jordan.

Very nice to roll in here on a Monday morning and see that you're back Billy. Seeing that you're back to posting (back to our regular programming!) put a huge smile on my face.. now only if I could locate some coffee...

Billy, Nice to see you back. Stay strong and stay positive. Be well!

B

do you practice your guitar playing anymore or do you just "do warm ups" right before going on? also with singing, any vocal exercises or routines that you do? love to you - CFR was great on saturday. i'll miss you this weekend but have a great show!

that nigel blog is dumb
