Really, to say that it is a true story about no one means that she made it up. She even said that at the show in Knoxville last year.

This would make sense, because the way alot of folks tend to raise (or not raise) their kids today, I bet Patty could have formulated the whole story and not been far off at all from someone's life.

I dunno about that comment about fame. I mean I've been listening to Patty for a couple years, but I like it when new people discover her. Sure, we'd all like to be spoiled and be able to sit in the front row easily, but don't you think Patty would WANT people listening to her? I understand what you're saying completely, but then again if you had made that comment when I first started listening, you'd be talking to me completley, so I sorta have to stick up for her new fans.

I realize it's an easy mistake to make, but c'mon! We're all fans here...let's at least spell her name correctly. :) And I wouldn't have said it if it were just one person, but it's been happening a lot lately..." ROUGH!! That was a tad harsh I'd have to say! Give people a break, it's a SPELLING error and this isn't grammer school. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 02 Feb 1999 22:50:30 -0500 From: "Steve Garrison" Subject: Re: MM: Spelling Ummm... that's "grammar," actually. - ---------- >From: SunShiny16@aol.com Give people a break, it's a >SPELLING error and this isn't grammer school. > ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 2 Feb 1999 23:54:03 -0600 (CST) From: Joel Robert Nettesheim Subject: MM: Re: You can think what you like, all I'm saying is I can't wait until I get to hear her three to four times an hour on the radio, won't that be fun.
