...but I think it applies.<P>All I know is that when a good friend of mine and I were at the BAM afterparty, she went over (like loads of people) to tell ?uest how much she really really digs the Roots (and for how long) and how pleased she is that through the years they've kept it really really, well, REAL. Anyway, when she came back over from speaking with him she said, "I have no idea if I just annoyed the heck out of him with so many people going over to speak to him, but I really just wanted to let him know." (He did say thanks, btw.)<P>A few weeks later (around the end of the year) she and her guy were at Black Lily. ?uest was there and he came over and kissed her (ON THE CHEEK) and shook her guys hand and wished them both a happy new year. I'm certain he wouldn't have done that if he didn't remember and wasn't at least a little touched by what she said. <P>Doesn't sound like someone who's completely out of touch with the people who enjoy his music. <P>I read the tour update and what I got from the posted message you referred to was that the man was regretting being out AT ALL and not IN with his girlfriend. I don't know. That's what I got from it.<P>Maybe his head just APPEARS bigger cause he's letting his fro grow <img src="http://www.okayplayer.com/dcforum/Images/wink.gif"><P>Anna<P>Hair (hair, hair, hair)<BR>Flow it, show it<BR>Long as God can grow it my hair<BR>~ Hair<BR>
