Hi everyone! Wow, I got tons of heartfelt responses about the comment
about
Daniel's importance to those who don't favor either one or have a crush
on
Darren. And every single person said that it wouldn't be Savage Garden
without
him. As you'll see later, I didn't print any of the responses because
I feel
it's best to let this "controversy" die down. But it looks like we
all agree
on one thing - Darren + Daniel = Savage Garden. And that's the only
equation
that can equal Savage Garden!!! It wouldn't be SG without Darren or
Daniel.
And all of you can't imagine one without the other....

**Billboard stats! Truly has jumped back up to #5 on the Billboard Hot
100
while the album has dropped back to #5. Still charting great!!
**Darren and Daniel have made history on the Rick Dees Weekly Top 40!!
As you
will know from last week's issue, Truly knocked My Heart Will Go On
out of the
#1 position (finally!!!). But the history is made from the fact that
Truly is
the first song to ever reach #1, drop back to #2, then jump back up
to #1!!
And to top that off, they managed to stay at #2 for 9 weeks to do it!
That's
unbelievable! Congrats to Darren and Daniel for yet another record-breaker!!!
**Truly has reached #1 on the Blockbuster Top 25 Countdown!!! It looks
like
it's made #1 on a lot of the major countdowns! Thanks to MajicPixie
for the
info!!
**DrunkInLA has informed me that the BMSM video has made Choice Cut
for Much
Music!! Since I don't get MM I have no idea what that is, but I'm sure
it's
good cuz she sure sounded excited!

Savage Trivia
Last week's trivia question was: who was Norman Mailer (the guy mentioned
in
Santa Monica)? And I made a typo, I put Normal Mailer. LOL, that made
me feel
stupid! Anyhoo, the answer is an American writer/poet and those who
got it
right are:

SaVaGe ComMeNtS/DaNiEl ReSpOnSeS
As you all know I left this area blank this week because ALL of your
responses
were to the Daniel thing, and I think it's best we let this die down
before it turns into something huge. The bottom line is every Daz-lover
and
non-favoring who sent in their comments all say one thing: they love
Daniel
and it wouldn't be SG without him. It takes Darren and Daniel and Darren
and
Daniel only to make SG! So let's try to pack this issue in the ice
and realize
that Darren and Daniel are two different people and they are both important.
It wouldn't be SG without Darren, and it wouldn't be SG without Daniel.
So no
more fretting over this because Daniel said himself on 60 Minutes in
Australia
(thanks to Sarah for this info!) that he doesn't need the attention
Darren
does. I put the comment in innocently because I was just curious as
to what
others thought, but I apologize to everyone for bringing this to light.
I feel
awful but take full responsibility for it and that's why I'm putting
this
issue into a box, throwing it in the ocean, and swallowing the key
(I just
love metal. My mom's beginning to wonder where all our doorknobs are
going...). :o)

A storybook meeting with Darren....
hi!! i like to say first off i love your fanzine!! tells
me alot and
god knows i need that...without your fanzine i wouldnt have a mailing
list and god i got so much trade from meeting people on here thank
you
so much!!
any way i was at the april 8th mtv live and rosie thing.
well not
inside. we made a trip a few of us online. we all met infront of rosie
and waited to get tickets. alot of celebrities came and went there
in
the studio. i had my paper of daz and dan out with a pen in case any
thing happened u know? well sure enough daz & daniel pulled up
in a
black truck and while some of the crew was unloading they talked and
took pics. now my stupid friend put my stuff away so i couldnt get
it
signed :( time i got it they had to go in. i said hi to dan and daz
though and like just stood and frooze. we didnt get tickets by the
way.
later we went to get some food and we split up. we were
suppose to
meet up back infront of mtv. that never happened...i didnt know where
they went. so me and my friends just watched the setup threw the window.
eventually we saw daz again!! he came to the window and waved. i had
a
zoom camera and took many pics which ill have online no doubt. ben
was
making goofy faces and i think daniel came to the window once b/c daz
and ben called him. we were holding signs that said "how to speak
australian" u know that advertisement wel they were laughing. happy
they
got a kick out of it. alot of people were outside my friends still
missing. it began to rain and i mean rain it poured!! i was all wet
didnt bring a umbrella i mean i traveled there i didnt think to check
the weather. i had my bootbag soaked and lots of people left. i stayed
with a few true fans remaining id say 7. the rain slowed a bit still
going though and we all were talking not paying attention to the window.
and u know what happened?? we all look up and darren says "allo" and
smiles and had his hands behind his back. i couldnt believe he was
here
infront of me. so naturally some girls flipped and he laughed and said
shhh and put his finger over his mouth. sweet guy. i got my pic that
was
wet now :( and stood behind him. he was smart he brought a umbrella.
i
said "u dont know what i've been threw to come see you guys" and he
turned smiled at me and said "oh really?" and then turned to me and
took
my paper "its all wet now" i said he didnt reply but i sounded sad
i
was. so he crouched down filling in the gaps the rain had made him
miss.
i asked him to take a pic with me...he said so excited like "sure!!"
and
he took my camera from my hands and handed to some guy. he turned to
me
smiled an said "can u hold these?" it was my stuff he signed. people
i
dont know what came over me but i replied sounding like a aussie!!!!!
i
said "no promblem i got u mate" he giggled i dont know why i did that!!
i was so happy thats why i mean i was flipping!! darren ha one arm
around mde the umbrella. let me tell u he smelled awesome died when
i
heard that actress mention it later on mtv when i got home to watch
it.
naturally i moved in close to his face u know the tight close pic.
hehehehe hey im no fool!! i thanked him and he hug me. i admire him
b/c
no celebrity in there right mind would go outsidet in ny the
center of
ny, outside mtvstuds, on a crowded street they would get mugged!!
he's
sweet he showed he cared about his fans and i'll never forget it. i
also
saw him and daniel a 3rd time when they were leaving the show
i was
looking for my friend i had lost when i came back they were in the
van
my friends i met were talking to them they left and i went up real
quick
and handed them a booklet of letters from my mailing list i made members
write for savage garden day. i had forgot to give it to daz earlier
they
said thanx and i moved away b/c some guard was coming to get in and
drive. by the way my friends that we never found was in mtv!!! they
saw
the whole thing but they couldnt bring ne thing in for pics or
signatures. i think i was better outside b/c it made it more special
for
me.

**Ohhhh this is so weird!! In Los Angeles today (Thursday) some guy
killed
himself on the freeway after setting his car on fire...we finally heard
his
name: DANIEL JONES!! Yes, I flipped out when I heard it and still flip
out
when I hear the name!! Isn't that freaky??
**HURRY AND SEND IN YOUR BIRTHDAY WISHES TO DARREN!!!! You have until
this
Saturday to do it, so pleeeeeeease send them in because I need a lot
more than
I have! It's very important that you send them!!! And to those of you
who
have, thank you so much for your contributions! And to the rest of
you, don't
make me come to your house and force to you to do it ;o)
**Another survey!! I was watching the clip of BMSM and thought of this...what
is your favorite Darren 'do? Did you like his locks long (a la I Want
You),
short 'n spiky (a la ARIA awards and American Truly video), or the
newest
short one (a la Rosie/MTV Live/Blockbuster awards? As for my personal
opinion,
I loved the dreds in IWY but if ya ask me...his newest short one is
#1 for me!
It goes great with that adorable round face :o)
**Important annoucement...Ok, everyone, this is very very important.
In
Brisbane a couple nights ago, it was apparently announced on a major
radio
station that Darren and Colby are separating. After waiting for our
Aussie
correspondant, Sarah, to send in more news about this, it was decided
to say
something on this subject before everyone hears it, freaks out and
panics. To
the best of my knowledge, a tabloid paper in Australia is reporting
on this,
at which Sarah says means it's probably not true. It's said that Darren
and
Colby parted at "friendly terms" and are still very close. The purpose
of this
announcement is for none of you to believe this until it's proven.
So don't
anyone panic or send me letters claiming that Darren is yours at long
last
until official word about this has been released. However, please hope
for the
best. I only mentioned this so if any of you hear it, since it was
announced
in Australia, to please not to worry until it's officially proven or
disproven.
**A little message from Sarah.....
