Thanks for that, it was a really beautifully written message of Lisa's and understandably quite angry at the accusers of her marriage too. Also interesting read Ian
I think it is almost fashionable to knock people now in the media, and as we see regularly on forums too. You are certainly right about the stick he got for his conversion to Islam. I failed to see the humour in that?? I found it moronic.
"I can see how it easy for some types of people to get caught up in media frenzies and become the gossip mongers who perpetuate this never ending circle of hate"
Absolutely!
To then see these same weak individuals self indulgently mourning him, is hard to understand to me. I understand there is good natured leg pulling and friendly taking the piss etc. The stick this guy got was huge and went beyond the kind of acceptable banter.
As I write I know 50 of his singles are in the top 100 UK chart. It is a shame as people we can't try and appreciate people more while they are here rather than taking notice once their demise has occured.
In the RR community I think Kevin's death has parallels with the change of attitude towards him once he had passed on. With that too, what a deep shame all those good qualities couldn't have been appreciated while he was alive more, and shown to Kevin...assuming the kind comments were meant once he was gone?
Here is my point. For your own peace of mind make sure you can live with your decisions with people while they are hear other wise the regret can hurt and haunt you later.
