solidfoamsoulRE: Peter Tork's Cancer Scare...
I wished the original poster thought to back it up with a more official source instead of blabbing to everyone she knew because "Peter sent me an email"...
Did Peter mention in that email to spread the word?
Doubtful.
While, I do hope he recovers, if this indeed true, I feel his privacy has been violated.
He hasn't released anything. I would think he is waiting after the surgery he's supposed to be having tomorrow...
Have I met him? Yes. Am I crying over this? No. Even if he did remember who I was, I'm sure he'd want us to sent him positive thoughts and vibes.
I'm sorry, but if this is your only other source without even a legit link...
I deleted the post off of "Capslock_Monkee" because it's from two fan sources, with no official acknowledgment other than "Peter emailed me" from the girl who posted it.
I found Derek Lord's, the current drummer for Shoe Suede Blues, email address, spoke to him about the recent show I had seen, and emailed James Lee Stanley about his music and his and Peter's collaboration. They both responded quickly and several emails were sent back and forth. However, I'm not about to email them asking about something like this. Though I was tempted to for a few moments, even brought up Derek's address.
I think there response would be something like, "If Peter hasn't said anything about it, we're not about to" kinda thing.
However, with this wide-spread panic, literal panic among fans, I'm tempted to do so anyway...
EDIT: The way the word was spread on LJ, the way it was gone about, I disagree with. Especially when, at the time, all the original poster had was "Peter sent me an email". That's my point.
