Clay's blog had something for everyone...

He feels honored and blessed to have fans that will defend him. In a roundabout way by quoting Smitten he called us all angels again.

He welcomes criticism and has opened up discussion to anything, including tabloids, shipping him with anyone regardless of gender, his label, Clive Davis, Jaymes, any other artist, his family, politics, religion, etc.

His advice is to ignore the 1% who simply want to cause trouble, but left it up to everyone's deiscretion whether to do so. He gave permission to bash any other member on the OFC. ("have at it")

He gave some fun clues as to what to expect on tour. Makes me even more excited!!

He told a personal and funny story on himself. Even when he smells worse than refried beans I bet it is great. LOL

He let us know he was not really aware of day to day operations at the OFC and that he is now a little more informed. It does not say he will continue to be informed, however.

He let us know he was not happy with the decision to close the mb and will try to prevent its closing in the future.

He let us know that he doesn't always get his way in the running of the mb but hopes his mb opening request will be honored.

I am sure that is not an exhaustive list but those are some of the salient points I captured.

I will be on the road for a couple days. I will be anxious to see how the reopening of the mb goes. I am happy for those who call it home.

I do have real concerns that things will get worse. I fear a severe drop in those renewing their memberships. I hope those fears are unfounded.

I will keep you all in my thoughts.
