Dave Davies - Our New Best Friend!

Okay, before I start whittering on about why Dave is our new best friend, can I just pause to perve over the background picture? PHWAORGH!!!! WOW, he's gorgeous!!!! Erm, ahem, not as gorgeous as Pete though, of course. Waahno.

Well, okay then. This is why he's our new best friend.

A week or so ago, Spem joined his official website's message board and posted this question thing:

Hey all, I'm new here and just wanted to say hello. :-) I recently bought the CD "Unfinished Business: Dave Davies Kronikles 1963-1998". It is truly a fantastic set. Dave, I love every song on there and each has its own special meaning for me. Especially "Imaginations Real"; the dreamy quality to it is just amazing.

I also just read the book "Kink," and wow, I think that book has touched me in a way nothing else has. I'd had depression for a while and finally got out of it. It was inspiring to read about your depression and how you got out of it, better than ever.

Thanks for everything, Dave, and I hope I'll enjoy it here everybody!

Love and all the best,

Emily

And she got THIS reply!

By Dave Davies (Dave) on Thursday, August 9, 2001 - 11:34 am: Welcome Emily,

I am so glad that you enjoyed the book and CD. Lovely to hear from you.

cheers

Dave

HE REPLIED TO SPEMMY!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Then she posted something on his Spiritual Planet bit:

Dave, I thought the the Spiritual Planet part of your website was very uplifting and inspirational, so I just wanted to know if it was okay to take a picture of Om from your website and put it on mine? I'll link it back to you; but if you don't want me to use it, I won't! Please let me know. Thank you.

Love,

Emily

And this is what Dave said in reply:

Emily,

Please do that, of course it is fine. So excited you find Spiritual Planet interesting. I have always wanted to have a place where people from ALL philosophical and Spiritual standpoints could come together. It is a time of Spiritual and religious Synthesis, I beleive. Not seperatism.

If there is anything else you need . Just let me know.

Bless You

Dave

My idea was that she said "Well, actually, if you could spare the time, how about marrying me?" but she said no because his wife is too nice. Pah... Anyway, then she said (don't worry, I get involved soon!):

Dave,

Thank you very much for your permission to use "Om." I am very glad and proud that I will be displaying that on my website. :-) Hope to talk to you soon, you mean a lot to me!

Jeffery--I totally agree with you. We all should listen to each other and not fight. Way to think, man. I'm with you. :-)

Love and all the best,

Emily

And so HE said (sheesh, do these two ever shut up?!?!?!?!):

It is my view that 'All' these old and possibly out moded / 'programmed', 'mind sets' from the past are stifling our present and future. What is happening now is like a final shedding of skin / A Pivotal enactment of Group and racial Karma's reaching fulfillment or a climax, before, I believe the dawning of a new 'awareness'/ 'consciousness'.

I pray for us ALL!

Cheers

Dave

'So', I thought to myself, 'if Spemmy can chat with Davida, so can I'. So I did:

The only thing I REALLY want to know is why Peter left the band but I don't think that's the kind of thing I'm meant to ask, is it? Right.

Okay.

Well.

Here goes.

WAS the song Plastic Man written about Mick?

And were you joking about the Whore's Hovel/Spunker's Squalor thing?

My best friend Spem told me that and I went around the rest of that night covering my mouth with my hands going "MICK! That's awful!"

It was particularly embarrassing as I had to explain what Mick's room name meant...

Although, it did give us a fab idea for a story... The Mis-Adventures of SpunkMan and WhoreMan! (er, guess who's who...?)

See, we're all superheroes who spread the message of love to a hate-filled world. I play the part of ChocolateGirl, Spem plays the part of GreenGirl, Peter was GreenMan (well with his middle name being Greenlaw and all...) and Ray was, of course, ApeMan. In fact, his first appearence in the story was him sitting in his tree house, eating bananas like an ApeMan.

Do I ramble too much? Do I use too many elipses?

OH NO!

I just remembered, Spem didn't fancy the idea of you finding out about that one!!!!

Eep!!! Gah, too late, I've written it now.

Hm, off I go to play colleyball with my friends across the river...

Peace, love and superheroes

And DAVE REPLIED TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's TRUE!!!! LOOK!!!!!!

Heather,

I can't remeber which room was mine or Micks... but they were the actual 'affectionate'/ names for our bedrooms. After a while Mick went to live back at his Moms house. I think it all got too much for him.

Plastic Man was written about a certain DJ who was popular at the time. Who always had a false sincerity thing about him. Really kind of 'sickly', ya know.

Pete left the band because he was disillusioned with his role in The Kinks I feel. You should check out my autobiography. 'Kink'.

Take care and welcome

dave

So, there you have it. Dave Davies, friend of the Headsharers. God, we're so LUCKY!! HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

As you can imagine, myself and Spemmy have been walking on air the last day or so!

We'll tell you more about it if ever he says anything else to us. Which, let's face it, he will. We're like THAT *crosses fingers*!

Oh yeah, in case Dave happens to read this page (we gave everyone the link), Spem, her sister Katie and I were planning on becoming a Kinks tribute band called The Konks. I'm Peter, Spem's you, Katie's Ray and we're getting a plastic cut-out to be Mick (don't worry, nobody'll know the difference!). We wondered if we could use your recording studio for our first album? It'll be called, "Us and Dave - Like THAT!" and the front cover will be of us crossing our fingers!!! It's okay, we've worked out that we only need two mics as Spem and I will share like you and Peter used to, and Katie will need her own, but she won't need a guitar, she'll just point like Ray. But I'd quite like a silver Fender Super Deluxe Bass... *swoon* like the one on my Spev's Loves page.

Okay?

Okay.

Well, that's all for now!

Back to KINDA KINKS! Back to BUDCDIES UNITE!
