Title: We've been friends now for so many years... Post by: SloopJohnB on October 27, 2010, 09:31:04 AM For some reason I felt compelled to post this here:
(http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/3782/almike.jpg) Who would have expected to see that, 5 or 6 years ago? It's good to see that things are going slightly better in the BB world. :) Yes, I DO know Facebook didn't even exist at the time - that's not what I was referring to, smartass Title: Re: We've been friends now for so many years...

But I'm sure the "old people" (like Al and Mike) didn't know about it until '07 or '08. Title: Re: We've been friends now for so many years...

Made me smile. ;D Title: Re: We've been friends now for so many years... Post by: SloopJohnB on October 27, 2010, 11:17:57 AM Is this a genuine message from Al? Its a *JOKE!* Nice one Sloop. Made me smile. ;D Actually that's a genuine message ;D And I've been told that this page is approved by Al and maintained by someone who's close to him. My source could be wrong, but I have no reason to not trust that person. Title: Re: We've been friends now for so many years... Post by: Mikie on October 27, 2010, 11:30:50 AM The real question is..........and the one that matters more...........is if Mike likes Al! ;D
Title: Re: We've been friends now for so many years... Post by: Andrew G. Doe on October 27, 2010, 11:43:01 AM Of course, neither Mike nor Alan actually 'run' their own FB pages... but they are official, and Mike's page has put links to Alan's Big Sur gig up of late, so... I'd say anything posted there has the nod from Messers L & J.

I posted the message exactly as it appeared on my facebook "news" page, so... Not a joke. Is it disappointing? :-\ Title: Re: We've been friends now for so many years...

Post by: PongHit on October 29, 2010, 07:32:25 AM Are you paying cash? Yes, but Al's rates are based on his height; only a dollar per foot, so he's a cheap date.

Has Mikes facebook become official? I know about a month ago his publicist Jay Jones made a statement on the "Mike Love"-page... //RD Title: Re: We've been friends now for so many years... Post by: absinthe_boy on October 29, 2010, 02:58:31 PM Some musicians....including household names....do actually run their own pages. I know this because I know one in real life, and through him have befriended a handful of others on FB. Genuine stars reading and typing their own messages and updates.
But it is true that more often, especially with someone who has a busy schedule such as Mike Love, a famous person will have minions to operate thier page/site for them. They may well check in themselves to see what's going down....but the words are usually typed by staff. Title: Re: We've been friends now for so many years... Post by: Andrew G.

Entirely true: sadly, it's also true that some non-household names (except in highly restricted households...) give the impression of running their own FB pages when they don't. Silly, really.
