Hi,
Enough of this innane silliness. Think of Leonard's recovery but also devote some of your forum energy at this point in time to somebody like Greg - see "Everything Else" and the topic "dear friends".
Long may you run Leonard.
All the best,
Merton
How to flag Valencia clip as inappropriate
Re: How to flag Valencia clip as inappropriate
Leonard is OK, and everything is back in normal, as it never happened, says Jarkko and Mr. Kory.
At this very moment, some band members should be with Jarkko and other 150 fans at Jorcx's tribute show in Barcelona. Thank G-d for text messages and cell phones when Jarkko is off-line:)
Of course, Jarkko, Marie, me, and some others have noted Leonard's manager and company about the Valencia clip. (and it's copy)

Re: How to flag Valencia clip as inappropriate
I offer this to the discussion:
"You definitely go into a concert with a prayer on your lips. There's no question about that. I think that anything risky that you do, anything that sets you up for the possibility of humiliation like a concert does ... you have to lean on something that is a little better than yourself. When you walk on the stage and 5,000 people have paid good money to hear you, there's definitely a sense that you can blow it. The possibilities for disgrace are enormous."
(from a 1985 interview)
Leonard seems more at ease onstage now but he's human and I'm sure every performer has the same thoughts every time. Would he prefer that only 5,000 fans in Valencia saw him collapse instead of potentially 5 million on YouTube, or does he just say, the heck with it- it happened, it's out there. Who knows? I, for one, am flagging and not watching. Just personal choice. Probably has no effect whatsoever, but it's what I would do for a friend in the same situation.
Glad all is well in Barcelona!! Keep the reports coming!
