Hi gang - the board apparently crashed earlier and I just did a message rebuild. Not sure if all the messages came back, so if one of yours is missing, please repost it. I'll check again in the morning to see if anything looks weird or different.

Well I am looking on Amazon.com for that Movie 'Critters' that Jules was asking about and found a movie listed that Leif (supposedly) has lent his 'AMAZING VOICE TOO'..It is called..."Samurai X 1...I am going to try and post the link to the page here...If it doesn't work just go to Amazon.com and search for Leif...

Biography -- Tina Lyn (No posts? No one in chat???), Fri, Aug 01 2008, 0:04:53 [10]
Wow, I can't believe no one's posted anything yet. Well, what did everyone think? I've seen him better but I've seen him much worse... and didja catch the end? He gave us a plug (the "fans from the 70s")! I thought that was pretty cool considering I DO still write to him :D
Anyway, I taped both David Cassidy's and Leif's shows... now to see if I can produce copies. Keep your fingers crossed!
Love & hugs to all and especially to our favorite guy...

- I thought the bio was well done. I dont remember the fans plug, but I remember his former manager talking about all of us coming from India and Germany :) Leif really is lucky to have such loyal fans. I agree that it was really good to hear from Dawn Lyn...to hear her version of how things were and how Leif changed to what he is now. It looks like she has it together and I wish only happiness for her. I was happy to see Brad. He's a good guy and was nice to us. As for chat, I'm sure Michael will come if he is available. We can send him an email whenever we decide to have chat. -- Bonnie, Sun, Aug 03 2008, 7:43:18

New to fan site -- MJ (Excited, I am!), Sat, Aug 09 2008, 21:23:18 [3]
Hey, guys,
This is the first time I have done this. I hope you welcome newcomers! I have been a fan since my teens! It is so great to see other people still, follow Leif. I must admit, I hadn't followed him, for the past several years. But, every once in while, that guy just creeps up in my mind & dreams. I would love to keep updated on him and any tour dates. And if anyone is going to see him I am in for a flight anywhere, and would love to meet new people. Thank you for giving me the space to introduce myself. Looking forward to chatting with you, and so on....I just went to the chat room, I was all excited and no one was there, Bummer!
Cheers! MJ

I just want to say THANKS so much Bonnie and Tina Lyn for keeping us in the loop with Leif shows. I do have his name set in my tivo but sometimes it doesn't pick up everything that he is on. I appreciate the email letting us know what shows he is going to be on. Loved the bio last night.I wished they would have interviewed him more, but it was also great to hear from Dawn Lyn. Hopefully we will see alot more of Leif in the future. Have a great day girls!!

[ Post a Reply to this Message ][Edit]
- Bonnie and Tina Lyn...thank you again for your hard work on this site. You both handle comments with tact and patience. It's true - nobody has lived another's life, so, ideally, nobody should judge anybody else. Sometimes we all need somewhere to go with frustrations, though - even if it's just a website. If we didn't love and support Leif, we wouldn't even be here with anything to say. Internet communication comes off as black and white, even if it's written with shades of gray. Thank you for the opportunity to express ourselves - even if it doesn't come across as we intend. Keep up the good work...and I know it IS work. God bless. -- Tamera, Thu, Jul 17 2008, 1:23:10 [3]

- To Kimberly - -- Tina Lyn (nostalgic....), Mon, Jul 21 2008, 23:58:31 [4]
Hi, Kimberly. For the record, Leif is familiar with this site and with the ones before it. He knows there are fans who adore him, fans who support him but who are more reality-based, and people who have doubted him in the past and will continue to doubt him in the future. Back in January, 2000 (when the boards were rockin' every night), a group of us met him for the first time in Tempe, AZ (see the accounts on the Sightings page). In that group were a few of the doubters who wanted to see what he was really all about -- and it seemed to me that he had a blast bantering back and forth with them, because he spent a good deal of the night doing it. He knows not everyone is going to be supportive. He knows he's not perfect, and knows that when something not-so-positive occurs, controversy pops up on this and other boards. He moves on. Nothing that we do or say is going to make him stop doing what he's doing -- it hasn't for 9 years and it won't now. Personally, I think he likes a little spice on the boards now and then -- after all, publicity is publicity!!
I'd like to thank everyone who's supported Bonnie and I over the years no matter what, the ones who have been there since Day One, who know the whole story and still keep coming back to this site and maintaining friendships with us. This site is about Leif Garrett, but it's FOR us -- the fans, the non-fans, and the fence-sitters (now there's a blast from the past! LOL). We've all kind of agreed to disagree over the years, and friendships do exist between the "enemy camps". I wasn't bashing Leif either, really -- just being candid about what I perceive is a lack of interaction between his official site and this site. Most of us have seen him several times, and he knows some of us by sight if not by name (he's also met SP). We've had interaction with him, his band members, and his PR people. Leif does appreciate what we do here, but he also knows that we're not sugar-coaters and we're going to tell it like it is. After all... Leif is 46 years old, and most of us are 40-something (SOME of us are even 50-something... hmm!) and I think we're all pretty much grounded in reality... unless you want to talk about Maggie's plaster cast!!! ;-)
So... thanks (you know who you are) and keep it light...
TL (putting the dusty soapbox back in the closet!)

- SP's Things Never Change -- Kimberly Cassels, Mon, Jul 21 2008, 11:19:06 [2]
SP- I do think Leif is an awesome musician, have you ever read the lyrics he writes? I am not trying to protect him, I know he is a grown man and can take care of himself, I was just writing how I feel, which I believe is what these boards are for. When I saw him play, there was more than 100 people in the audience and every single one of us women just about lost our minds when he took the stage. I bet you he could still fill an amphitheatre anyday. Who cares where he plays as long as he is performing and we are able to still see him. Reading your comments I find it hard to believe you're a fan of his?? I'm sure he does have a thick skin and probably couldn't care less about what goes on on the message boards and that's a good thing, because if Leif listened to comments such as yours, he may not have the desire to play again and what a loss that would be for the rest of us who believe in him.

Zhanna,
I never said I don't appreciate having this to go to for information, I enjoy both this one and Barbara's Official Site. Yes,I am sure it is work for everyone involved, including Barbara. If the people that run the official site don't have dates to post yet, how can they give info they don't have yet to anyone else? (yes, I do know that for a fact.) I still stand by what I have been saying, I have yet to have a negative experience with either Leif or Barbara and have found reasons for certain things to be the total opposite of what some people might think. I know my opinion differs from the majority on this board but I stand by how I feel,that's important to me. Thank you for respecting that.

- Tina Lyn's Reply -- Kimberly Cassels, Wed, Jul 16 2008, 12:03:07 [6]
Hi Tina Lyn,
Thanks for replying. While I understand what you are trying to say about the negative experiences outweighing the postivie ones, I don't know all the facts about what went on and that's fine, I don't need to know. It won't change my opinion of Leif. Even though I had the pleasure of meeting him only one time,I didn't go to the show expecting to meet him. It just happened and I was grateful for it, he didn't have to be as nice as he was, he could've just done his set and went back to his room. I just think there should be an extent and limit to what fans think Leif is obligated to do for us. I went to the show to see and hear him sing and that's what I got, meeting him was like a bonus. I strongly feel he appreciates all of us but I don't expect anything from more from him. I understand 30yrs.is a long time to be behind someone and that you feel slighted but does anyone really know how it is to walk in his shoes for a week or even a day? If the tables were turned, I don't think I would want the added pressure of having to constantly please people on top of being an awesome musician.I just think that's alot to put on someone. I am happy with his music and whenever he is on TV or in town, of course I'll watch if I can. How Leif and his staff deal with the detailed side of things is their business,I'm sure he knows what he's doing. I am satisfied with just being able to listen to his music and watching him on TV or on tour when I can. Do you see what I mean? I read your comment about how you feel he wants a younger fan base?? I just turned 35 and most of the women in the audience that night were older than me, he was great with all of us, so I didn't get that impression at all. There was alot of pushing and shoving, really rude women but he was good with everybody. Can you imagine a huge crowd of people rushing towards you like maniacs?? no way. He must deal with that on a daily basis, don't know how he does it but he handled it like an expert! If you're feeling the way you do, why not email him and ask him?? I know he can't reply but still...I think it's better than talking about him on this board? Thanks for letting me express my opinion, again!

- awesome musician? I wouldn't go that far. I too have seen him in person and I did enjoy the show. He definitely rocked the place. But, rocking out in a bar to a crowd of a hundred or so is a lot different than a stadium. I doubt he will ever be more than what he is now. He probably makes an ok living. Isn't this message board intended for people to talk amongst each other, about Leif? I have seen this go back and forth since 1999...nothing much has changed. He probably doesn't even read this and if he does he probably doesn't care. Most show business people need a thick skin...and his must be like armour by now. He doesn't need anyone to protect him. -- SP ~ things never change, Fri, Jul 18 2008, 23:30:48
- Kimberly, Have you ever walked in the shoes of Bonnie and Tina Lyn? I have! I give them credit for not quitting long ago. It's not easy putting so much effort in and getting little respect in return. Is it to much to ask for a courteous exchange of information? Leif has always been kind to me in person. I would certainly see him again if he performed locally but, trying to promote Leif is not easy. I can't say why it all falls apart but in the end it's Leif's career so he is the one coming off poorly. One thing I can say as someone formerly involved in this website, you never quite feel valued for what you do. It's not a celebrity thing, it's a human attribute to be gracious and thankful to those who champion your cause. You can't know what you don't know! Much has transpired over the years. Kudos to Bonnie and TL for wanting to continue on with the website after all this time. -- Zhanna, Sun, Jul 20 2008, 23:23:02

He and Mortenson have plans to co-sponsor an event this fall with Active Ride Shop in Irvine to benefit a Newport Beach skate park. The first shipment of t-shirts with the Kommute logo and some of Kameron's platitudes have nearly sold out at Laguna Surf and Sport, the line's first retail outlet. Pearson's been promised that celebrity Leif Garrett will be sporting a Kommute t-shirt on his television talk show this fall. -- Rio, Fri, Jun 27 2008, 16:09:27 [8]

- What I've heard from various people over the years is that Leif doesn't want things announced in case the show never airs. If that's true, there's some negative, distorted thinking on his part that it will reflect badly on him if the shows never air. Some projects just never make it, but it's no fault of any of the guests. Most celebs communicate to their fans with a little more respect and they don't think about possible negative reactions. I personally think Leif & Co. don't want things announced because it's a control issue. He doesn't have control where he needs it, so his fans sit like dogs waiting for scraps. We just have to wait for the announcements or rely on the other sources. Sorry to be blunt, but this puppy is not staying in the box forever. Leif needs to step up and respect his fans or do something else. It's never too late to do the right thing. (NT) -- Bonnie, Thu, Jul 10 2008, 11:24:48
- Well said, Bonnie, and I agree with you. It's almost as if he doesn't want us (the original fans who have been there for him for 30 years) to know what's going on. It's almost as if he's embarrassed by us and wants a new, younger fan base. Granted, most of us are past the spring chicken stage, but we are ALL beautiful women in our own ways and I personally think Leif is missing out by not being more interactive with us. After all, he's looking at 50 in just a few years himself. He needs to count his blessings, and IMHO, the fans on this site are one of them.

- Respect for Leif -- Kimberly Cassels, Tue, Jul 15 2008, 13:13:11
- Hi, Kimberly. Thanks for posting. You're correct - everyone is entitled to their opinion. However, there is history here dating back to 1999. Most of us have met Leif more than once and he is always nice. If this was a first-time occurrence I would be more forgiving and understanding, but so many negative things have happened over the past 9 years that it becomes difficult to keep the faith at times. Again, there is much history with this site and its predecessors, and not all of it is good - but we usually give Leif the benefit of the doubt because we truly care about him. But occasionally the negative outweighs the positive. It would take forever to explain everything that's transpired between the fans of this site and Leif since his Behind the Music first hit the air in 1999. It's been a long road with several large bumps, but we are all still supportive of him and try to stay positive - until the negativity starts to repeat over and over. -- Tina Lyn, Tue, Jul 15 2008, 23:37:47
- Thanks, TL....you know the deal and I know most people do. Kimberly, thanks for your opinion. I do this for those fans that still love Leif and seeing their faces light up after waiting 30 years to meet him is fantastic. I do expect Leif to be the sweet guy that he can be for the few nights he does work. That's definitely not too much to ask. Most people work full time and have to be pleasant even when we don't feel like it. Constructive feedback is something that one hopes will improve communication. I read over what I posted before and I don't see any bashing going on, just asking for Leif and Barbara to be accountable in the roles they chose. I still like Leif very much and will continue to be supportive. Sometimes, it's just like, dude what are you thinking? Just be nice. -- Bonnie, Wed, Jul 16 2008, 21:57:45
