Such a great thread title, so many different meanings. Well lets hope he doesn't be too long. I've definitely been away too long - I'll never catch up.
Briefly off-topic. Yesterday was a great day. Had lunch at Gordon Ramsay's (don't know if you've heard of him) at Claridges in London then saw Mary Poppins in the West End. Post Christmas treat for all of us and it was wonderful.
Lovely sentiments Nat, very well said on your part.
Those photos of Clay by twicetreasured are gorgeous, she took some great ones at Charlotte. Thanks clb and QM.
On the subject of montages. I've collected so many over the years. It's hard to pick on special ones. I do remember I particularly like watching the Tour Book from Aflack's Independent Tour series, it's just so great to read all of the good reviews and it's really cleverly done too. I also liked the Closing sequence to the music of I Am The One and Only and the WYSYLM part where he's on the phone. I just watched it briefly again. It's amazing how young he looks on that tour.
A lot of what makes me like a montage is the music that's used. There's one called 100 years by Shine in NC, just love that music - it's a JBT one. Also quite like Are You Ready by Nomistakinaiken - fast picture show through the Trans Siberian Orchestra. Then there's Wicked For Good by Claybill - think MSI mentioned that one. It makes me go all gooey inside when I hear that song. And that is definitely how I feel when I hear Superman by GBB. Sigh. It makes me think just how very much I love him.
I hadn't seen that picture either CbA. He just looks so very different now. He's constantly changing isn't he? Wonder what look he'll go for next. I'm hoping he'll keep his hair on the light side. I don't think it suits him too dark, though he did have it quite dark for Saturday Night Live which I see they are repeating and he looked gorgeous in that.
He looks so different to that now though.
Which kind of hair do you like?

You were busy posting while I was busy editing my last post...LOL

You know, I still would love to know what Clay was thinking of Connie back when he watched him from the AI audience. The look on his face was fairly enigmatic.

Hello everyone, today is my grandson's birthday and I have a thousand things to do and should not be sitting here. It seems like it is always something. I don't like to post when I don't have time to think. You probably see my name a lot at The CB because I can go there real fast, get the lastest news and post a quick picture in there "does anyone have this picture" threads. I always seem to have it, and I enjoy spending time collecting and organizing to the extreme, so I can go right to it. It makes me feel useful. Our KAREBEAR,is, of course the ultimate picture poster and my hero. The CB calls her photo angel. My photo bucket would be a sad empty place without her. I kinda think of myself as one of her helpers. I hope she doesn't mind. Anyway, I can do that in a mindless sorta way at 3am, or whenever I have a few minutes to myself. The purpose to all of this rambling is QM'S last post. First of all, thank you for the columbiatunes article, but mostly for your comments at the end. I agree with everything you said and I am so sick of the gripping on some of the boards about his lack of blogging. There are endless pages of it at CH and I won't even go to the OFC. Why do some of those people even belong to his fan club? There are people there who have no idea what love is. They would not be satisfied no matter what he did. I wish he would come here to read, where he would find love and respect and a willingness to give the poor boy a break. I hope he doesn't think that the OFC message board represents all of us. I hardly ever go there. I just get upset, angry or sad. I know that technically he is supposed to blog every week, but good grief, he just came off of a grueling tour in which he gave everything he had, to us and others, that we will never know about. He gives so much of himself to so many, all over the world. How do people find it in their heart to demand more of him? I love his blogs as much as anyone, but I don't want it to be an obligation. I want it to be when he feels like sharing with us.
everytime I look at them...reminds me of
