Who is Steve Emerson?

[livius]

I live in Gainesville, FL, where we have a lot of band activity. Has her group come down here?

[JennysCool]

Good Lord! She -- and the band -- are brilliant! Are they having trouble getting gigs? I'm sure thousands of FReepers are in a position to set them up with rapturous audiences (no religious pun intended -- I like them for their chops and your daughter's smooth voice) ... This is awful to hear, because they are so wonderful to hear. If the lack of gigs is the case, please FReepmail me! I have a thousand-seat venue they can sell out tomorrow!

"44 out of 39"? Huh?

Have no idea what to make of this post, but loved "Kiss me."

[KellyAdmirer]

I hope you are not offended if I say I find your daughter very cute. Love the band's music and videos. Hope you and she find good ideas here.

[Katya]

Wow...never knew they were a christian band....the song "Kiss me" was a huge pop hit on it's own, and as the theme song for that cute teen movie(don't remember the name). Pretty cool..you have to be very proud.

[conservativefromGa]

yeah right

[aruanan]

Yeah, I like their music too!

[I_Love_My_Husband]

Does your daughter know what the song "There She Goes" by the Las, which put your daughter's band on the map in America (since they did the cover version), does she know what the lyrics are about?

[LurkerNoMore!]

Wow... I have Divine Discontent in my cd changer. I love 'em.

[Endeavor]

How does one get "44 out of 39 reviews on amazon.com are 5 stars)"?

And just what are you asking for? Isn't it better that your daughter, if you are who you say you are, speak from her own heart and mind?

[conservativefromGa]

[don-o]

yeah right

Uh, are you suspicious of the bona fides of the poster?

I am.

[I_Love_My_Husband]

Count me in too. Would a father be posting his daughter's pic at FReep?

Anyways, the song in question, "There She Goes" is about heroin. And it would be WEIRD for a bonafide conservative to sing a song about heroin. (But if one is a liberaltarian, np).

No more wine for me! I guess that should be 39 out of 44 reviews were 5 stars. Yes, I am very proud of the band. I am happy that you like the new record as I believe it is their best.

[formershyfatboy]

The story is that in order to enhance their image as BAD, the LA's marketing people started the RUMOR that the song is about heroin. Please don't get your panties in a wad as it's just a rumor.

[formershyfatboy]

Thanks for the band! No they are not having trouble getting gigs. Quite the contrary and what an opportunity for getting in some zings once in a while. What I meant was that, as you all know, high profile artists are penalized by their conservative viewpoints. I would like for my daughter to have the best ammo possible - from you (some of you) brilliant people on FreeRepublic.

[formershyfatboy]

Way too much wine!! Sorry!!!
