Within our world ...Indeed. The feeling is mutual. <br /><br />Within our world of fast and vast global communication lies an inherent opportunity to renew the ancient art of writing in a unique way. Feel free to send me an e-mail if you ever hear of an RFP from the PG camp regarding what others may be seeking. My favorite colleagues are those who shoot it straight back at me. They truly help me rise to my greatest abilities and I value them as holding me accountable to my own best standard. <br />Be well and continue to shoot straight!<br />~Z<br />zancyvonhooks@gmail.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13045078945222154066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23888261.post-9422792797090373982011-02-18T09:33:18.258-05:002011-02-18T09:33:18.258-05:00I, also, would do pro bono work for PG.

In autum of 2010, Real World let go many of their employees due to budget problems and they probably got rid of all the writers. Thank you for the interesting conversation, Zancy.RenaSherwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02584776016067333591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23888261.post-184294200459264962011-02-18T09:21:37.491-05:002011-02-18T09:21:37.491-05:00Constructive criticism is difficult to receive at ...Constructive criticism is difficult to receive at that level I am certain. It should be noted as a PR tickler for them. I for one would be happy to volunteer composition on their behalf with no self-interest...simply to help with the solution to a what might be a long-term problem. Creative longevity should be on their sight.<br />As you said, if it is not on an internal target, that would be more of an arrogance stand rather than what I might perceive as true to form for PG. Oh well, we can't help everyone dig out. Thanks for your valid concerns. <br />Be well~Zancy VonHooksAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13045078945222154066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23888261.post-34470483958304110372011-02-17T20:15:18.564-05:002011-02-17T20:15:18.564-05:00PG had a noticeable stammer in his teens, but his ...PG had a noticeable stammer in his teens, but his public speaking has improved tremendously. He is quick-witted and quick to laugh. PG also gets easily distracted (so he says) and his conversation goes off on many subjects. I did contact Real World about cleaning up PG's prose but I don't think anyone was impressed with my suggestion. In fact, I think I pissed them off (whoops.) Since PG has a reputation for being eccentric and out of the ordinary, so far we seem to be the only two fans that care about his lack of writing skills.RenaSherwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02584776016067333591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23888261.post-77133328902947296862011-02-17T19:38:27.680-05:002011-02-17T19:38:27.680-05:00Precisely what I spent the last little while doing...Precisely what I spent the last little while doing...reading interviews to look at speech patterns and similar composition style. Surprise for me! I am actually concerned for him. He articulates as one who is detached or sedate(d). I hope that if he has "lost himself, within himself", that someone close to him guides him back to his own higher state. From a PR angle there may be more damage than good if people don't get the intellectual substance they expect. Indeed, perhaps he has burned out from those constant bizarre and self-indulgent comments from fans. When did people of an ordinary nature seem to forget the basics- that boundaries still exist? <br />That said, no excuses.<br />I would rather spend the 2 minutes it takes to compose something worthy of posting~ rather than risk my own sense of creativity diminishing. Really. <br />Damage control...looks like nobody is paying attention and that in itself is insightful.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13045078945222154066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23888261.post-83952287908110951212011-02-17T18:29:20.618-05:002011-02-17T18:29:20.618-05:00Hate to burst your bubble, Zancy, but that WAS Pet...Hate to burst your bubble, Zancy, but that WAS Peter Gabriel.

People who know Peter's mind, the way he processes and communicates, know right off that this isn't actually PG. Unfortunate for those of us who would like to see some soul reflective words take form from within the real PG.
