Fatty Weighs In

Thank you for being so genteel my dear friend and brother Mike Watson. I am so fortunate to have met you and the fellas in this life time, I love you all dearly and am grateful for our time together as Daddy long leggs. Let me start by saying that I love my sister Dawn (Fatty Freelunch) dearly and wish her the best in the long and hard and sometimes rewarding road of music! She has always been an inspiration to me in her style of fashion, lyrics, and most of all dancing and stage antics. She taught me how to dance. While growing up with my younger sister I always encouraged her to pursue her talents. I am proud that she is trying to make a name for herself. 1.Fatty Freelunch was never a member of Daddy Longleggs and the article is written that way. No way around that! 2. We were not a Black Punk Band:( 3. We played several shows with Mighty Joe Young Scott Weiland and I were friends. And we had mutual respect. 4.We played so many shows back then and I am not sure were she is getting her Details from but we played more L.A. shows then just Madam Wong's and I do not remember ever Playing at the Palladium I would have to check with the fellas on that one. 5. Fatty is a multi talented artist in her own right and comes from a strong musical family background. I was more then happy to invite her onstage with us. 6. The world is not a f__ed up place. It is a wonderful playground of Earthly Delights meant for our pleasure and enjoyment. Unfortunately Chimps evolved into Humans as Well as Bonobos, and the Chimps being way more aggressive are temporarily in power:) 7. I am stopping at 7 because It seems to be a lucky number for everyone. Do yo all catch my drift, Due dilligence before writing articles please!! I did not found Daddy long Leggs!! I was invited to Join Dragon Feather (which became Daddy Long Leggs) after being convinced by Mike Watson to move back to San Diego. We wanted to do something great. We had influences but we did not want to sound like anyone else so we pulled the frets off our guitars, that is why we did not play Ska which was very popular at the time. We were a mixture musically and the four of us created Daddy Long Leggs and yes we spelled it with two G' s. As far as the comment from sageofsantee about Mike Watson. He is one of the best musicians I have ever known and I am proud that he never sold out and that he continues to create the music he loves. Much love to all my friends and family In So-Cal, I had to take a break from you. I moved to the Pacific Northwest:) As the old Stick3x would say "PARTY PEOPLE GET HYPAAA". Peace. http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2012/apr/0…
