sdstns, Bona Fide Bice contributor gives us all this...

sdstns, the new Official Heroine of Bona Fide Bice, attended Bo’s appearance in Jacksonville. In addition to the cellcert she coordinated, she recapped the concert and the Q & A session Bo held afterwards in lieu of an autograph session. (from ThreeDimen, Bona Fide Bice)

>>Will SugarMoney be able to keep playing with you?

Yeah, I mean these guys, we’re family. We’ve been playing and doing tour stuff together forever and I don’t see any reason for that to stop. I’ve always said my brothers and I will be playing whether in places like here or in arenas. It’s really up to you guys. If you cats come out to see us then we’ll be here.

How is Aidan doing?

He’s doing magnificent. He just rolled over which is a big step in the Aidan world. Yeah, I mean he’s great, he’s doing great. It’s cool having this little spirit, just this little spirit to look at and to hold (?). Y’all are gonna make me cry. I got on the bus last night and it was so cool ’cause he had this little cold when I got home this week and you know how they do their nose (He kind of demonstrated, it was cute) and I used to be this big germ freak and he gets all this stuff on my shirt and I’m like “Eh, so what?” My wife’s like “Oh wow, you’ve really changed.”

First we as a group here in Jacksonville want to say we are very proud of you and all you’ve accomplished. Second, what was Simon Cowell really like?

Oh well we used to sit around and eat cheese dip and drink martinis together. No, not really. He was really cool. He’s got one of the best points of view on the show. They’re all great. I think everyone’s figured out the formula. I’m not really letting the cat out of the bag. You’ve got the cat that’s groovy, then sweet and beautiful Paula and then you’ve got Simon (said dramatically). It’s a good formula, it really works. They make a good team. You don’t want to say it’s an act because trust me, if you see that many people a day you can’t act like you don’t like people, it’s genuine. No, he’s really a cool guy. I guess it’s just a matter of what day you catch him on. He then related how Simon caught Shane leaning against his Bentley one night smoking and said it was not good.

Do you have any regrets about any of this and how long do you hope to continue a singing career?

Bo did a piece of My Way. Oh regrets, I have a few, but I did it sideways. Thank you, thank you, I wrote that myself. I need some royalty money.

Um, I don’t have many regrets. In everything I’ve done in life many times I’ve made mistakes and messed up royally. I just truly believe in forgiveness and the strength of love, you know, so no regrets. On the other (unintelligible) the same reason I have a love for this music and being able to come out and do this with you guys. I’ll keep doing this until you guys stop coming. There will be like one here and one there and me with a really bad weave or a combover.

DJ comment: (Laughing) You could do this full time.

What is your favorite song to perform?

Um, I think, it’s hard to choose, there’s so many good ones, but I really love Valley of Angels. It’s one of those songs I look forward to playing every night. Probably because it was such a settling time in my life when I wrote it, and then to see it evolve into what Clif made it into in production. It was very special. I can vividly remember hearing it for the first time when he brought it back to me. Before, it was just an acoustic song, me sitting with a guitar and playing it for him and then him taking it to a whole ‘nother coast and bringing it back with a vocal part and a guitar part. It was just awesome, because I think being a songwriter and wanting to create, I think one of my faults and something that I’ve tried to accept, you tend to be a little more closed-minded to what you write. So opening up to being a little more vulnerable and allow someone to come in and help me produce instead of being the guy who has to have his fingers pressing all the buttons. It was magnificent, it was truly great. I was a big part of the song, yet I felt like such a minute portion of it when I got it all put together. It’s just a well composed and beautiful song. I look forward to playing it every night.

DJ comment: Well Bo, you talk about looking forward to that every night, will you do us a favor? When you get ready to play on your next tour will you keep us in mind? Because we definitely want to see you! Bring the band back, bring SugarMoney back, because we definitely want to see you! Give it up for Bo Bice!<<

I was just thinking about sdstns today, and our little misunderstanding, you know when she referred to me as ..."oh her, yeah she's a big fan of this site. (referring to BFB) I sorta took it like , "yeah, her, well, whatever...she's around and well we put up with her" 'cuz I know how wimmen can be. Which is a dominant reason I hang with predominantly guy pals... We're Ok now I guess, good interview tapes on her part and cool she's into sharing... Rock on.

Sunny Skies and Much Love.
