Real Dave Virtually Speaks Out
I have been asked to become numerous people's (if they actually exist???) friend over the last little while, on Facebook.Now call me olde fashioned, but I spend far too much time staying in touch with my actual friends to be buying virtual drinks for supposed friends.
Now as anybody who knows me will attest, I am far from savvy when it comes to the realm of computers, but I'll tell you this, it takes more than a made up profile and a foto shopped picture to be my friend. At the very least you will need an actual life, complete with actual events and happenings.
It may be a whole lot of fun for the kids to pretend they have done amazing things and pretend they have met amazing people, but I have found that experiencing these things in actuality has been a far more rewarding experience.
"...my advice would be get outside and live a life, stop pretending."
So my advice would be get outside and live a life, stop pretending. It is far more fulfilling. Then come to a Jets gig ( in person preferably) and say g'day. We might actually become real friends, and who knows I might even shout you an actual drink (you can get pissed on those).
And stick your spacebook friendship up your virtual arse.
ROCK ON (for real)!
Gleeso.

Nicely Put Dave.
Billy Connolly once said that people talk to each other on the Internet because you wouldn't talk to them in a pub.
There's not too many places on the net where I would be bothered typing any responses, but you guys are an exception. I've been watching you play for the last 20 or so years and loved it! The only problem I find now is that me old neck doesn't recover well from the hairdancing. Still I soldier on!!!!!Don't forget to do a gig or to in Adelaide!!!!
Hi Dave,
What a night I had last night at the Revesby gig. It took me back about 20 years to the good old days when you were doing your stuff with Aspect in Newcastle. I was a regular groupie in those days and a neighbour of yours for while. It is an absolute pleasure to see you guys live. Couldn't keep the smile off my face. I had my 17 year old son at the gig last night and he is hooked as well now. If I had read this post before the gig last night we would have hung around for a beer, and yeah I think facebook is overrated.
