And I do know that if one of my bands (not music, mind you, but my band) had ever gotten in the way of my marriage, I would've quit the band; I'm QUITE sure I'd feel even more strongly about doing so if it ever interfered w/my relationship w/my (for now fictitious) kids! I'll never give up music--not for anything or anybody--but my commitment to my personal life far outweighs my commitment to my band...of course, MY band's not named after me*>:-}! However, as a fan, I still have the need to say, "what the dilly-o?!" (in as Richie Cunningham a way as possible!). I just miss having new BFF stuff to memorize! But I do share your wishes for the best for the Folds family. Ironically enough, Ben's songs got me through my divorce almost entirely by themselves (w/some help from some of Darren's, of course), ferchrissake! How could I not want the best for the man and his family? And Barbi's right too; I would think less of him were he to abandon his parental duties! Anyway...at this point, thank God all of this is simply speculation and meaningless bitching on my part! *Our name/mascot are tattooed on me, though--something I don't think I'd ever do for a woman.

Although, ben has children now for the first time. So it's important for him to be a father. I would have less respect if he kept heavy touring like before and ignored his little ones.

But to each their own-- this only comes from my personal experience. Before Kate came to this world, I would have never thought it was so important for each parent to be present with their children in the first years of their childrens' life. What professionals say is true, the first three years are the most formative. I watch Kate learn something new every day. IT is exciting. I would not trade a single day with her for anything in the world, including $$$ and fame. Now like I said, to each their own, but I am only taking care of my little corner of the world when people continue to say family values are going kaput. I continue to wish the Folds' the best down under and hope the new album is a smashing success. After all, with out Ben Folds Five (and the FIRST KATE) there would have never been a Kate Lyons. As you ban figue out, I would never name my girl Yoko. - ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 08 Jun 2000 10:18:14 -0400 From: Lance Johnson Subject: Mp3s?

Nor would I want him to quit what he loves so much--making music....I know it must be a tough decision to leave the kids w/a nanny. I freak after a day away from Kate. I hope that both Frally and Ben appreciate what children can bring to their lives. Even some inspiration I would think for some music, no? So all is good. I hope to see the twins at a tour stop sometime. Hopefully the bumper sticker will ring true when we see them w/Kate. "My kid beat up your famous dad's kids." heh heh....j/k I also would love for someone to email me the URL for the MP3's....I am out of the webring loop. As Anne used to say, it is hard to get around with a walker and a cane... What ever happened to that Ben and the guy from Toad getting together to make marvelous music?? Can't always believe what you read anymore... - -Erik, "Brittney's Fan Club President for perverts" ------------------------------ End of The Rockford Files V3 #48 ********************************
