I just got the note below on MySpace and since I’ve been so lax in keeping up here, I thought I’d share it with you.  I have gotten so many incredible letters from people sharing their experiences of Warren and I think I’d like to share some of the (anonymously, of course) every now and again.

This is from Freddie:

I saw Warren the first time @ the HOB on Sunset the night Jerry Garcia died… then
I met Warren at the Coach House in San Juan Capistrano
I walked in Early just to met him…. and I’m standing here as he’s running through a couple tunes…and then he steps off stage and this is pretty much verbatim our conversation….

Warren:”Are you with the opening band tonight?”
Me: er…No.
“Oh, are you with the club…?”
..er…..no.
“Ah, then what are you doing here?”
Um…actually dude, I’m one of your fans…..
(Hangs his head then shake it in mock dumfoundedness at his own question, then says to me)
“I’m sorry…. sometimes I forget what the hell I’m doing here… Hi, I’m Warren, I’ll be your entertainment this evening….”
(I laugh)
“What do you have something you want signed or something…?”
Yeah, if you don’t mind
“No, that’s alright”
Just so you know Warren, this (Learning to Flinch Special Ed.) is Fantastic…. but THIS (Transverse City) is a fucking Masterpiece.
“Really? Thanks, I’m glad SOMEbody liked it”
I fucking LOVE it dude…. WAY ahead of it’s time…
“Wow, thanks again man… enjoy the show”

The show was great and at one point some drunk ditzy blonde bimbo airhead jumped up and actually started asking for Werewoives of London….  I thought she MUST have been a plant or something… I could see someone jumping up and asking for ANY other song than that… but I think she must have been serious because Warren just stood there on stage, staring at her for a about 30 seconds letting her go off… making a fool of herself and then calmly says
“Hey you know something….? This isn’t a fucking Jimmy Buffett concert…ok? and I’m not a godamn jukebox…. so just sit down…and I’ll get to it, when I get to it ok?”
Of course the whole place cheered and the woman sat down….

anyways….. just thought I’d share that with you…..
You shared so much with the world Crystal…..
and as an OCD sufferer myself… I thank you.
Bless you and your kids.
