Umm, Joe and Luna have parted company. Now, I do not know the full details, but the way it was told to me makes my bump of trouble itch... This was told to me in a private letter, but under the circumstances I feel that I should share it, first to share my feeling of loss, and second to communicate my conspiracy theory.. Luna wrote: i have sad news. i let joe out on his own. he was accidentally left behind in san antonio when i went down there to play. we have since talked and he misses me but feels like he needs his distance. i need a lot of moral support during this time away from him. he assured me he still loves me, though. my baby. _________________ Now, please do not misunderstand me, I feel Luna's loss, and I know the ache she feels inside must be near to overwhelming, but I have this question: If you truly love someone, would you really just forget about them, and "accidentally" leave them 200 miles from home? I think not. Okay, I do not doubt that Joe still loves Luna, and that she still loves him, but here is an theory.... At the end of the Mariposa tour, Joe was getting equal attention during (and after) the shows. His fanbase is nearly as wide as Luna's. Would it be possible that Joe has (innocently of course) stolen some of the spot light, leaving our dear Luna feeling jealous in the shadows? What happened at the San Antone show that caused Luna to "forget" to bring home Joe? Having shared the same bed with Joe, I can vouch that he can be wild... But wild enough to cause his.. his soulmate to leave him, stranded, helpless, and alone in a strange town? Do I sense a "VH1- Behind the Music" in the making here? Truly, I do hope they manage to work out their differences, but if Joe feels that he needs distance, then I hope he finds solace on the road (sorry, EDAs, had to do that) and I would suggest to him to hitchhike up the road a bit and maybe find some new companionship. Perhaps Joe and Woody the plywood cow can do a road trip, to clear Joe's mind, and maybe give us new tales to share... Anyway, please email Luna to convey your sympathy, but please temper that sympathy with a healthy dose of admonishment for leaving him in the first place... tearfully, Rowdius ------------------------------ End of mariposa-digest V1 #31 *****************************
