Re: one rhinelander's thoughts
in response to what mark said, i think that linford was just trying to prepare
his fans--especially the rhinelanders for the change that might occur when
they tour with cowboy junkies and/or a big label. i can imagine a rhinelander
letter similar to that being sent out when they opened for bob dylan. i think
they just wanted everyone to know that they may not be ABLE to be as friendly
and interactive, that's all.
i am glad you said something, mark, because i was going to ask everyone for
more feedback on the letter seeing as how i finally got mine! i will be
interested to see everyone else's response. while i didn't see this part as
the most melancholy of the letter, i did find the whole thing a little... sad
or something. i could really tell that linford had to make himself sit down
and write it as he says in the beginning. it reminded me of a lover writing
the "let's see other people" letter. he wasn't saying "i hate you." he was
just saying " i don't know if we're heading in the same direction anymore" or
"i can't be what you need for me to be" or "i really care about you, but i
have to be free to follow my dreams..." that kind of thing. it was weird.
and i did feel like a relationship in my life was changing--not over, but
changing.
they say change is good, right?
