We all had a very heated debate about the paintings and Greg many months ago and I think it was agreed to let that issue rest. Greg is Greg; c'est la vie!! You are not a freak for wanting a momento of a Shawn show. Just makes you a passionate fan. I just wish the others at the show you had attended were as passionate. It is such a waste for people like that to be allowed to attend a show by Shawn when they just don't get it. Oh well we enlightened people LOL know what really matters. Sorry if I came across as a bit judgemental but I just don't like it when fellow Shawn fans start snipping at each other. I like to think of us as 1 big, slightly crazed, family!! Have a great folks and Steady On!!!

Last Christmas she was doing a radio show in Austin. >While waiting to go on, she was hanging out with fellow preformer, Lyle >Lovett. While waiting, they were listening to whoever it was performing >(has she ever named the singer?) who was singing a "beautiful, deep, moving >song" about his kid. Lyle turns to Shawn (Shawn here makes fun of Lyle's >lack of expressivness) and says in an impression of his vioce, "If you ever >have a kid, don't write a fucking song about it!"

Several other songs were also requested, including >one person with a powerful voice asking for 4 Seasons in 1 Day, and he won. >Saying that we wanted "all of the suicide songs" (whatever that means) she >spoke about Crowded House, Neil Finn, New Zeland, and then sang the song. >I really thought we were going to get Orion. > > The audience was, again, terrible. There was talking through-out, >and people really didn't seem to want to listen to the music.
