I must admit I was not feeling too well about posting the news of this gig on the website. Sure it should go there as "news", that's what the website is for. On the other hand I don't feel too well about the gig and the organisation itself. I am not putting Roger on a pedestal, at least I try not to. I probably should not judge this gig. But I would be disappointed if he would support a group that finds joy in hunting. Not hunting for needing the food but hunting for fun and joy with dogs and everything. I probably should just shut up cause I am eating meat.... But still, I would be disappointed cause from the things he is saying in interviews he came over as a really caring human being. Remember what he said about meeting President Viola back in the 80’s?: “In fact, we were asked to meet the president Viola, and I refused... I didn't want to meet him, because that would have been playing into their hands." [/i] ...and just saying he doesn't know what this group stands for is too easy cause he's far too intelligent for not knowing it. If it were me Id pull out myself personally to stop all the bickering & moaning thats going on all the message boards (including ths one). Or as Roger is probably just doing ignoring all that is going on and file the 'email' that was sent to Brian (I still dont understand why) under 'rubbish'. I think the email has been sent to Brian cause there’s no other way to contact Roger if you don’t know anybody close to him – which nobody I know does. So this isn’t totally wrong in my opinion. Sure Roger isn’t owning us any explanation why he plays this gig or what’s his personal opinion about this organisation. But it's okay to discuss it on message board and also on this one and I do encourage everybody to do so. I would not call it moaning and I would not file this email under rubbish - cause torturing animals can never be rubbish. P.S. I feel even more offended (personally) cause I have been spammed with emails over the weekend from people thinking I am running an official website and uttering their disgust about it in their emails.

Sorry about this Brigitte - and I mean it. It's strange though, 'cos the 2 Queen italian forums I use to read every day don't seem to make such a fuss about the matter. I do agree with you - could even have quoted all your post - and this is no blarneying at all. P.S.: of course, I respect everyone's opinion, here and in any other issue...

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear this! I'd wish Roger would have a place to comment his actions. Just one time. Sure, he isn't owning us any explanations, but it would be nice to hear why he's decided to take part in this event.

Sorry to hear that Brigitte. When I look at the shoutbox I get the feeling that many don't realize that it's an UNofficial site (Quote: Roger, will you marry me??? LOL ).

Thanks guys! *thinking about writing the letters "UN"(official) even bigger! ;D But it's okay...
He played a gig with this Band du Lac earlier but that was for a good cause (a hospital or something. Have to search the website). So I think this guy/girl maybe ment this. This was in June last year. Remember when I posted the pics on the website and nobody knew anything about the gig?

That is crazy that you are receiving complaining emails about this Brigitte. Yeah, it is.... But I think the majority did send their complaints and move on and realize after my answer I am the wrong person! That shoutbox is crazy too!! I apologise for not using it but if I did post something there I feel it would have to be along the lines of I love you Roger Originally I put the shoutbox on the site for comments on the news like the old comment boxes were. But it is infact crazy. It is a bit better now after I wrote that "I love your Roger" as a comment is not entertaining all (!) the time. I think after everybody wrote it now it's going to be better. I then would love to read all your comments again if you want to post!

Sorry to hear you´re getting this complaining emails, Brigitte But I don´t think writing the lettter "UN" bigger will help much..... I doubt that those who wanna complain about the gig will even notice it. Just keep on emailing them back (if you want to ) although it seems to be a lot of work

LOL Who's not here. I mean it's better to have hundreds of "I love you Roger" than negative stuff, isn't it?

People seem indeed to think that Roger's reading the shoutbox! ;D Or they're just so excited about him that they simply don't mind...and SHOUT their love for him .
