Letter to Julia 20121124

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

Hi Julia, my beloved!  How is the most beautiful girl in the world feeling today?  Yes, you are the most beautiful girl in the world to me.  I pray you are feeling healthy and confident, and you are slowing down.

Everyone's a reporter nowadays, don't you agree?  Maybe someone took a snapshot of some celebrity with their cell phone while pretending to dial a number, then posted it on their Facebook page with a little report on the circumstance.  It is annoying, but there's the crowd for you.  On the plus side, it makes them more current and exclusive than the media corporations.  It sort of makes those large media groups redundant, going to the point of unnecessary and archaic.  Slow moving dinosaurs!  My excuse is that I'm too lazy to conform to the vile expectations of the entertainment business.  I've never had much love for the press, especially the big clunkers.  The press has less foresight than politicians.  They think they can intimidate me with irrelevant headlines.  Guess what?  I put MY fear in Allah!  They can't grasp that?  It's not my fault that they have no faith.  Let them publish a report on something as redundant as themselves, like K-pop and the Billboard charts.

I have decided not to grant anyone an interview except for publications (not reporters) that have interviewed Shadowplay before, back when we were a 3 piece band consisting of Andre, Terry and me in Salt Lake City 1995.  Maybe I might place a few ads here and there, if it's not a waste of money.  And these love letters to my sweetie Julia are the closest thing everyone is going to get to an autobiography.  They're going to publish lies anyway, so why even bother.  I put my trust in Allah.
