Glad to hear that. The lawyers will sort things out. Some of what was said to me personally really made my blood boil.

Thanks again, Ed. You've really been on top of this and I know we all appreciate it.

@pyrettaflame: Welcome to A.O. Glad to have you. We enjoy the hell out of Adam and his music, I think you will, too. The guy can sing his face off and boy is he a kick.

@Ageanblue: LOL @ the FYE lyrics. Perfection.

@Ice: ROFLMAO! The imaginary tickets are all yours! Enjoy your day in the park with Luke Loy doing... whatever it is he'll actually do with the park he rented.

@Starbright: Glad to hear it!

@debbiecorkee: At least one Gaga fan posted on the first article to point out that it is a hoax. I don't know where her information came from, though, she might have gotten it here.

@Gradam: Damn straight and thank you. *Minion high five*

PURGATORI, if any of that initial ire was directed at me, kindly redirect it. I have not nor shall I ever bash West Virginia.

I love West Virginia and have been to Martinsburg (by which I mean passed through it.) I'm taken aback that anyone would think I would bash "almost heaven" itself (assuming you meant me, and it seems like you did.)

I know every word to John Denver's Take Me Home, Country Roads and I believe it like gospel. My great-grandfather was a WV coal miner who invented a type of machine that's been credited with saving the lives of many of his fellow miners (in fact he invented a lot of useful stuff, like the glass-smoothing process still used commercially today and the elevator push-button system) and built three houses in Clarksburg with his own two hands.

Last time I visited I saw Black Water Falls and the Middle Fork River in Audra State Park for the first time. Both of them made me cry they're so beautiful. I sat with my feet in the Middle Fork at sunset in the springtime with the flowers just beginning to bloom and bawled my eyes out.

You'll not find one other San Diego native who knows or loves West Virginia better than I.

I think some people here did play into the jokes about West Virginia a little bit, but my own mom said, when I told her about this, "So they're makin' West Virginia proud!" She said this sticking her front teeth out and switching to a full-on hillbilly twang. And she's a native West Virginian.

I hope that your anger will now be directed at the man who's actually made West Virginia look bad: Luke Loy.
