I think the picture is great! It is a reminder that everyone is real and has other obligations and responsibilities in life.

So I was off work and surfing and found this place and thought I would join up. I don’t have much more to say right now except I need to start reading some of the older posts to get up to speed before I can start posting.

It didn’t make my smile. It does make me think more about who the person is and not to stereotype a person just from looks. He might be the best father ever but that’s hardly what I would think looking at the picture. That’s a shame and not how I want people to look at me.

Daniel,
The Bowie/Crosby duet was performed on the Bing Crosby Christmas Special in the mid 70s. Long before MTV, but MTV may have re-aired the song. They sung “The Little Drummer Boy.” I remeber watching it live with my Mother. It is a very happy memory for me. Man, am I grateful for memories like that! I love Christmas! I love Bowie! Thanks for reminding me.

Jake,
Bill’s son’s name is Zach and he is now an adult. I don’t know if he rebeled or not because I don’t know either of them very well. But I do know Zach has been part of Impaler’s show for a while, so I doubt he is part of the Young Republicans or passes out bibles, but ya never know. I’ve seen stranger things in my life. I once ran into three guys wearing “Pat Buchanan for President” shirts at an Ozzy concert and I approached them and said, “What’s the deal? I figured guys like you would be outside protesting” and one of ‘em said, “No, I’m here for the show, I love Marilyn Manson and Ozzy.” He seemed serious. Go figure.

I have prediction. When this guy’s kid gets older, he’s going to be thinking, “how in the h*** can I rebel against a heavy metal father?”. So he’s going to start wearing a suit and tie to school, join a snobby fraternity, become President of the Young Republicans, and start passing our Bibles everwhere…

Steve –

After seeing this, I found myself thinking of a Christmas MTV video of a duet by Bing Crosby and Davie Bowie I saw years ago. Or the night Steve Martin hosted Johnny Carson with Pat Boone as a guest. (Martin mocked Boone throughout the interview, apparently without square old Boone catching on and Boone finally said “If I didn’t know better, I’d say you were making fun of me.” To which Martin said “I am.”)

I was taking life (and myself) way too seriously until fairly recently. It was only a few months ago I had a breakthrough moment in my personal and spiritual development — I shouldn’t be who I thought I should be, I should just be myself.

You know, it’s a lot easier to remember who I am that way.

I just got another email from Chris Campa at theordinarymystic.com. And he indirectly pointed out something I saw sub-consciously in this picture and I think it’s why I was drawn to it.
Chris said - “Not knowing him as a dad, I had no
reference point -just the contrasting dark and light, strong and weak, anger
and innocence. ”
Yeah! That’s part of it. Like a Yin-Yang visual metaphor.
Night creates Day
Winter creates Summer
Shock Rock creates innocence
I know, I know, that might be a little much, bit it is there isn’t it? The yin and the yang.

Not laugh at loud, but it made me smile. You can see the family resemblance, and similar expression. Reminds me of Hook when one boy says “Peter Pan’s got kids!?:

Sorry, I didn’t get any warm and fuzzy feelings, nor did I laugh (well, it did strike me as funny-weird at first glance). I think it means more if you actually knew who the guy is, and even more if you knew the guy personally. But without that - the feelings I got were: how cheesy it looked, and uncomfortable it made me feel. Maybe I have no sense of humor.:)
