Q. What is so good about saying goodbye to Goodbye Lullaby? A. Everything. It is the Abbey Dawning of a new era.

Freak that old Black Death er Black Plague I mean Black Star, babe. Black stars dont shine. They are dim. Any light emitted at the surface of a dark star would be trapped by the stars gravity rendering it dark, hence the name..... The dark ages are all rearview now. It is your bright time again Av, to shine on the world, you crazy diamond girl!

(Grateful Dead, "Dark Star") Dark star crashes/ Pouring its light/ Into ashes/ Reason tatters/ The forces tear loose/ From the axis/ Searchlight casting/ For faults in the/ Clouds of delusion/ Shall we go/ You and I/ While we can?/ Through/ The transitive nightfall/ Of diamonds...

Mirror shatters/ In formless reflections/ Of matter/ Glass hand dissolving/ To ice petal flowers/ Revolving/ Lady in velvet/ Recedes/ In the nights of goodbye/ Shall we go, you and I while we can? Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds.

A perfect choice of lyrics from a song Avril will likely never hear or understand (not saying I do).

I like your forward-looking perspective on this. The past is done and gone. The future starts now. Avril sounds excited about her new studio work; we can only hope it is for good reason.

I will do my best to find something bright and shiny in her new work. Something successful enough to allow her to tour extensively in the US would be nice, too. And hey, if she wants to throw in a GD cover or two (Friend of the Devil?) , well, that would blow my mind and free my soul.

TYSVM 4 the feedback. ..."Friend of the Devil" would definitely be appropriate considering she is always throwing him horns in salute.

The ALbatrossity that was the BS Goodbye Lulla-Drive-By Fail has passed. Now lets go, let go Avril (get back to where you once belonged... under my skin) I know I am the best damn bad man fan.

Happy Black Death Star Superlaser Strike To The Black Star Tour
Buh-Bye Goodbye Lullaby Day (Hey Hey)!
