Disorientedpossum

Hi Laura! Let me start off first by saying that although I’ve met you several times already, it’s always a joy to come in contact with you again—although this is my first time addressing you as Laura. (My most memorable meeting with you was on the streets of Corpus Christi right before a show back in ‘06/’07).

Anywho, I’ve been following AM! since ’02 and have seen over 13 shows (including the one back in Sam’s Burger Joint when Brigg almost duked it out with the bouncer), so I’ve seen you grow, just like myself over the years. Like you, when I was young, I believed in a power of younger people—the kind of power that could start a revolution. In my height of beliefs and everything I stood for, the band that I always closely identified with was AM! I have a huge AM! tattoo on my right forearm dedicated to “the cause.” Fast forward ten years later, and I’m an Executive for one of the largest companies in the world, and you’re a living, breathing rock goddess.

My question to you is this: Did you ever throughout the course of AM! realize that you were headed in a direction that you never thought would happen? How did that make you feel?

I’m just an old punk having to “conform” and sometimes, just sometimes, I think about when we were young and wanted to set the world on fire.

Congrats on having the courage to be yourself Laura. You are truly an amazing, old soul. Thank you for everything.

Love, An Iron-Fisted Champion, an Iron-Willed Fuck up

EDIT: word

I imagine Timmy's response as this, "......."

Yup. That's total silence and a blank stare into your soul.

This is the only correct answer
