Thinking about what you've said, sounds like with your references to "gloating", etc. you think I'm bragging... I can see where it would come off that way and if that is the case, apologize.
But if you think I idolize these people, you would be wrong. They do have talent to be admired... And I do love most of the music of the 70s era. I was a teenager then. It was a searching period for me, but that is what was on the radio. The heavy metal band with the guy we know was actually from the 80s. (They hung in there and got big right when the hubbie was going through basic training). THAT was hard on him : ) The only person I've met that I would say I am really and truly proud to know, though, is David Foster. This man is someone I respect. I met him for the first time at the Crystal Cathedral for the Hour of Power where he invited us on a Mother's day when we were in town for a reunion with him and the hubby. We met Robert Schular, too, that day. (And then went over to David's studio). He's the one who helped turn Josh Grobran into a star among others. He HAS definitely been knighted. (He's from British Columbia but a dual citizen, now). Just the same, though, he's a person with feelings and weaknesses and insecurities, too. Just a filty rich one..... Kind of larger than life - but only because he also has the integrity to go along with it. He is a musical genius. HIM - yes - perhaps I do have him on a pedestal. Or at least have tremendous respect and regard for him.
