Spreading the TT Love

[przed]

I seem to be working as a one woman P.R. campaign for Take That in Canada.

I've got Ros hooked on Patience, and had her ask me to make her a mix CD for daycare with TT songs so she can spread the word in the under 6 set.

I've got one of my best mates not only listening to the band, and coming over to watch the concert DVDs, but now reading the RPS. (She read my three stories and asked for recs!)

And now I seem to have hooked the other friend who came to see X-Men with us. After I bitched about them not including Love Love in the end credits, she asked me to send her a link to the video. So I did. I also sent her links to the video of Kidz, and their performance at the Brits. She passed the Kidz link along to her steampunk/music crazy sixteen-year-old son.

And today she sent me this in an email:



Is it bad that I'm feeling inordinately pleased with myself?

And hoping that I can one day be considered ground zero for Take That's takeover of North America. Or at least Toronto. (I have especially big hopes that the sixteen-year-old will start spreading the word at his school.)

I'm sure I'll love their first meeting, but it hasn't shown up in my mailbox. (The address once again is paulinezed@gmail.com. Or you can try przed@rogers.com, but that's my addy that's been clogged up with spam and I don't use it as much.)

It's comforting to hear I'm not the only one who has trouble with titles. And hoorah for a series of first meetings! That will be awesome!

I'm definitely going to push to drive on the way back. Purely to be nice of course. (My daughter voted for the Beautiful World album this afternoon--well really, she just yelled "Play Patience!"--so we all had a little TT fix.)

Oh no! Where did the mail got lost? I've just checked again and I sure used the right address. I'll try and send it again. I'm mprosten@aol.com - maybe your inbox thinks I'm spam? It's a short chapter, maybe I can send it via LJ, I'll try that too.

It's lovely to see how much you daughter loves Patience! (Even though I think in a couple of years you will have to talk to her about the lyrics and men who say things like that. ;D)

I've just sent you a message from my gmail account and added you to my contacts. Hopefully that'll solve the problem of your mail disappearing. In the meantime, your LJ message did come through and I'm really looking forward to taking a look at what you have so far. Stayed tuned for comments.

No doubt, but that's true about 90% of the pop and rock songs out there. (When I was a kid, I used to get miffed about the lyric "You oughta think right, you oughta do right by me" in The Beatles' Ticket to Ride. Still do, actually. *g*) And as these things go, TT's lyrics are far from the worst.

I've just replied to your email - I hope this one gets through.

Point taken! You can't save her from all silly/stupid/strange/seriously wrong lyrics - and, yes, TT are not on one of the top spots. *g*
