The Savage Gardener #32
Hi everyone! We're up to #32 on the Savage Gardener issues! We're getting
up
to 6 new members everyday so the club is growing much bigger! There
is lots
and lots of news in this issue! Now, on with the newsletter (and heart-
breaking yet wonderful info that may very well be true). Here's a hint:
I
think now I understand what the Daz lovers felt like when they heard
Daz was
married...

**"Truly" is still doing great on the American charts! It has since
dropped
back to #2 on the VH1 Top Ten Countdown (replaced by "My Heart Will
Go On".
Anyone else getting as annoyed by this song as I am? Just a question,
hehe).
However, it's entered its second week as #1 on the Rick Dees Weekly
Top 40!
And it's #10 on MTV's Top 20, which is kinda odd since they aren't
exactly the
SG fans type! Looks like our dear Savaged Ones showed them!!!
**"Truly" is currently #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and the album has
jumped
to its peak position as the #6 album on the Billboard 200!!!!
**At the concert in Melbourne, Daz and Dan were presented with 10, count
em...10, platinum awards and their concert sold out, despite Mariah
Carey
playing just down the road!! Way to to go!!
**"Truly" was also used in the television show "Sabrina the Teenage
Witch"
this past Friday. That would make the second SG appearance in an American
TV
show in the last month!
**Truly" won Best Slow Dance Song of the Year on the Teen People site!
Yet
another award for that fantastic song!!
**New haircut alert!! Yup, dear ole' Daz cut his hair even shorter!!
Very
cute, I may add! You can see a pic at my friend Sarah's website. Go
<A HREF="http://www.fortunecity.com/millenium/magic/43/savagegardenmeet.htm">
here</A> to visit it! Great site!! It has the transcript of the
ceremony in
which they were presented with the keys to the city of Brisbane, too!
**Someone from SG's management in the United States was quoted as saying:
"The
fan mail that comes through my office UNBELIEVABLE...you get their
song played
twice an hour." Congratulations, Daz and Dan! We're so proud of you!!
**To all Daniel Jones lovers, get ready to cry like you've never cried
before.
While this may be a rumor, I will treat it as though it is true because
supposedly Daniel's parents announced it, it's believable, and it was
found at
a credible website. Daniel (my Daniel, sob!!) is getting engaged to
his
girlfriend, Michelle. For those who I talk to regularly, I'm fine,
LOL. I'm
really happy for him. I'll keep at this (believe me, I won't give up
until I
find the truth!) and let you know as soon as I find out the details.
But as
for now...congratulations, Daniel and Michelle. Best of luck to you
in the
future.
**To those of you who have been wondering why Darren cut his hair, his
response to the question was: "You know...I wanted to look more like
a man."
Awwww, LOL.

Savage Trivia
Last week's trivia question was "where did the phrase 'Truly Madly Deeply'
come from? The answer is it is the title of an old English movie that
Darren
describes as the most romantic movie he's ever seen and had always
wanted to
write a song using that phrase. He actually wrote it for his wife <ducks
and
waits for flying objects> Congrats to those who got it right:

This week's question is: what poor girl that runs an SG newsletter must
now go
into therapy on learning that her one true love is getting married?
Actually,
the real question is: what was the name of the band Darren and Daniel
played
in before starting Savage Garden? I've heard two answers, so either
will be
accepted. Bonus points for those who answer the first trivia question
right!
;o)

Hi Lauren. Ok, I have to comment on this one and I don't
know who wrote
this or came up with it. I am really getting ticked off with
people spreading
rumours. If we should all keep in mind that it is a rumour (thank
goodness),
then it shouldn't be spread around at all. Including in this
newsletter.
That is how you stop rumours, don't keep spreading them. It totally
disgusts
me that someone would find something positive about a situation like
that. I
mean, geez, wanting to claim Darren if and I say IF it is true (which
I really
hope to God it isn't). That is the most selfish and insensitive
thing to say.
Also, poor Colby. Like she needs rumours like that going around.
It seems to
me that both of them love each other so much and so I can't see why
she would
be with someone else. Honestly, this "rumour" news really hurts
my heart and
I'm sure if Darren and Colby saw it, they too would be hurt and disgusted.
Why can't people just leave their personal life alone. I happen
to care about
the guys very much and I don't mean romantically. The last thing
I want to
see is them get hurt and be ashamed of their fans. I, for one,
will stay by
them and hope for all the BEST in their lives and love. I consider
myself a
sincere, true fan to Darren, Daniel, and the rest of the group.
If this
newsletter will continue spreading "rumours" and feelings like this,
then I'm
not sure if I want to be a part of or a member of it. I am not
trying to come
down on you Lauren, but it really upsets me that some of the "fans"
of OUR
favorite group (or at least MY favorite group) would treat the guys
like this
and feel this way about the situations. How about we let our
"Savage guys" do
what they do best and keep up the beautiful, wonderful music and stop
making
their personal lives the daily talk. Thank you for listening
to me!!!! Have
a great day!!!!

To comment on this, I want everyone to know that I would never ever
do
anything that would offend Darren and Daniel, or their fans. I only
put the
comment in by TMDCrazy because that's exactly what it was: a comment.
The
thing about Daniel's engagement is very believable because Michelle
does in
fact exist and it was stated by Daniel's parents. The reason most may
not have
heard this is because Australia will most definitely get news before
America
does, since most of you are from America. While Darren managed to keep
his
marriage to Colby quiet for a while, it wouldn't work for Daniel because
Darren was not famous at the time he married Colby. I'm sorry if the
story
about Daniel's engagement offends anyone or thinks it's an invasion
of his
privacy, but think for a minute: if his parents announced it, don't
you think
Daniel wouldn't have a problem with it? As I am not 100% sure that
Daniel's
engagement is true, it is not the negative and unbelievable rumor about
Colby
cheating on Darren and being pregnant. I am working now on having the
news
about Daniel either proven or disproven. Until then, I report only
and only
the positive and believable news. It is in my deepest and sincerest
care for
Darren and Daniel (not romantically, as SpceFerret put it) that I do
not
spread awful rumors like the Colby thing. After all, if I didn't have
the
loyalty and devotion to them as I do, do any of you think I would have
taken
over the newsletter in the first place? It's a lot of work (but fun!)!
I hope
this clears up any doubts you may have about the sincerity of the newsletter.

**I've gotten lots of e-mails asking about Darren's dog's name. Everyone
seems
to think his name is Bastard (LOL!!), but it's not. According to my
Aussie
friend, Sarah (who's become the newsletter's Aussie correspondent!),
he named
his dog Obe after Obe-Wan Kenobi from "Star Wars" and even brought
him onstage
at one of the concerts! Thanks for the info, Sarah!
**At a concert in Australia, Darren's fly was down and stagehands had
to come
on to try and fix it while he kept singing! Also, at the Brisbane concert,
Daniel fell off the stage during "Break Me Shake Me"! Poor guys! :D
**Go visit <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Set/7005/">Freya
and
Ian's Hunks Page</A> and vote for Daz and Dan!! Thanks to TMDCrazy
for the
info about this site!!
**Also visit a music message board and tell all about those two wonderful
Aussies!! This is for AOL users, only. Thanks to ItIsYoda for this
info!

**If any international fans have been looking to order the Aussie re-release
and bonus disc of the album, I'd suggest doing it as soon as possible.
All
online CD stores are in low stock with the CD and it probably won't
be around
to buy online much longer!
Well, that's it for this week's issue of the Savage Gardener. Have a
Savage
week and don't forget to send all info and news (and sympathy cards!)
to me!
Peace, love, and Savage Garden!
