What's New @ gonegator.com

What's New @ gonegator.com - If you haven't noticed, I'm making some changes (ok a lot!) to the site. If you come get any weird error messages, let me know, but If it just looks weird, it will be fixed eventually! You will be seeing some of the info from the Super Seventies site that I've condensed and or embellished/plagiarized on the Bio pages. I'm almost done with the 70s. Trying to cram a decade of music history into a few pages is tough! The 80s are going to take a looooong time!

HEY! Cut it out!! - Ok, I've received a couple (thousand) e-mails about the message that comes up when you right-click on a picture and try to save it. Two weeks ago, I got one from Benmont Tench's sister. The Tench family are just great people, talented and smart! It was funny, she sent me a message saying something like "HEY! You cut it out! What the heck is that about?" So, I said...

Sorry about that, it's there to save me money!I'm re-designing the site and I have several websites that just copy my links, steal my pics and put them on their websites. It costs me money (a lot) when people use my information that way.
The message could have been more rude! LOL!
So, with that last name, I have to ask... any relation to Benmont? Met him several times. One of the greatest people I've ever met."
So, she said...

Hi Sean,Thanks for the reply. Now 'tis all clear.Benmont's my brother. He really is a great guy.
We sent a few more notes back and forth, and plan to be married in the Spring (JOKING!), it was really cool. I told her that I had a picture of the Tench Building in Gainesville on the site. Which she liked by the way...

See Heartbreaker History
So, that's the reasoning behind that message. To tell you the truth, it's easy to get around. Many people know how and I'm in the middle of fixing the whole problem. But it's a pain in the ass. So, if you just want a picture for your computer or something, just email me and ask! Let me know the page and how many down on the page it is... I'll eventually email it to ya! If you want to use it on your site, send me some CASH!

To the 100 or so sites on my reports each week, linking directly to the pics on my server and costing me a lot of money in bandwidth charges,

HEY!! CUT IT OUT!!!

GoneGator is Rockin' - I sent this out to the E-mail list last night/this morning... by the way, if you're not on the mailing list, you're an idiot (joking... kinda), put you're e-mail address over there to the right and click "I Need To Know!" ANYWAY, I found this concert review of A.J. Cannon (who?!?!?!) in a Portland weekly paper. The guy says "I pass the Paris Theatre, then stop. Something inside is rocking. I mean really rocking. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers rocking." Thought that was perfect. You all know what he means, or you sure as hell wouldn't be here!
