Reisa, did you catch your inability to the freedom of company and sweet guys with company?

2007-11-14T15:40:25Z

Have you ever just felt "...When I went to sleep, took a load off my head, man-
I hit the last number and walked to the road"
Oy, yoy,yoy! 11/07
p.s. check out that lady in the red,white and blue,
and try to convince you that you actually had a vision-

Oh my ....I knew she was headed for this kind of thing... by Reisa L. Gerber, gossip columnist...1/21/07

Dear Britney,
I had been following your plight, although not specificall touching upon it in my articles, especially,
since noone here really cared for my stuff...probably blip me off again anyway. It's just that you
are a beautiful woman and your hair is an innate part of what I see when I see you. You have
so much on your hands right now, while I sit here in a room full of nothin' but computers and make
faux pas everyday, and one of these days, I'm gonna get carted away....I have a big and bold mouth
and I often get blipped...but the first thing I ever said about you was how surprised I was you were still
free at large, right? Anyway, it's none of my business, but I hope you feel good sometime....I sing
too, like I call a local country station in Florida and I sing about once a month. And it feels neat to
release all the raucous energy I have. Hey, you take care and do good. I know you and your
loved ones have more than enough to handle your babies. I can remember sitting in the "shutup"
room in the hospital and vowing to get myself AIDS...you know? Noone dances with me because
I'm so bad, let alone sing. So-you know...I hope you feel better as soon as you can, and please
let The Tribe know that if you feel this letter syndicates harassment on my part, please just leave
it out. Bee well, honey.

A Touch of Fame (Really!)

2006-11-14T01:48:04Z

I wrote two wore two communications with two unreal rock groups thisy year, in fact, three or four!
And when I did, and was recognized online, I freaked!
I write to Led Zeppelin about their song "Black Dog", which they put out in the seventies, i think;;;like this...
"I don't know, but I've been told,
A feeling woman aint got no soul"! cooool!
And then I wrote to Van Halen about two songs of theirs..."Why don't you finish what you started?
That aint no way to treat the brokenhearted..."
Sammy Hagar sounds exactly like David Lee Roth. It's interesting.
And of course...."Jump"..."Can't you see my back to the record machine?
Do you know what I mean? Do you know what I mean?" JUMP! Everybody Jump!!! I'm not sure there....
I thought maybe it refers to, you know, psychiatric psychiatric records that should be shredded.....whatever.And then I complimented their versions of "Dancin' in the Street" and "Pretty Woman". Hey, Eddie! You're the cutest.
Come pick me up in Florida down Military Trail!!!
Take care.

...so where did he go? He disappeared around the corner with some fatfaced rolypoly
girl! His mind is spinning and skipping in infinity, not even touching the cattle-named
people he treats in his practice! I watch Entertainment Tonight as often as I can, and I
love that dance jive and I know that a very famosa country singer got pissed and that they
gave her a lower score because of some stupid thing or something. Don't you wonder
if he hears the radio!!! As he's walking around the unit he's nodoubt thinking about
behaviors and medication, right? But noone ever knew that we had a little rendezvous.
And frankly I do not care to reveal this little secret. Remember the John Lennon song
"Instant Karma"? ...."Instant Karma's gonna get you! Knock you on the head!...." and
"Who do you think you are, laughing in the face of love?"....Oh, I know! Soon I better
get myself together..."Who do you think you are? A superstar? Well, right you are!"
I just laughed out loud. Of course I am! Just so long as Paul Simon and John
Lennon's widow don't have me arrested! That country dancin' singer is Sara Evans.
Now please STOP threatening my qualities of gossip, people. I know my stuff!
Love to you all, man.

So, will she marry Howard K. Stern in an official ceremony? I read that it was a "commitment" ceremony in the Bahamas. It seems like he has always had feelings for her.

And she renamed the baby - from Hannah to Dannilyn - in remembrance of her son.

It will be interesting to see what happens next.

Another storm swirls around Lindsay

2006-09-16T12:25:24Z

Here's a PAGE SIX article from this morning.

September 16, 2006 -- LINDSAY Lohan got into a screaming match with her mother, Dina, in an Upper East Side restaurant, told her to "go to hell" and stormed off, leaving the older woman in tears.
On Thursday night, Lindsay reluctantly joined Dina for Dina's birthday celebration at Phillipe on East 60th Street.

"Lindsay got a call from her mother telling her to come to the party," said a spy. "Lindsay didn't want to go, because her mother was drinking already, but she went anyway."

All was well until the first course arrived.

"When Lindsay got there, her mother and her four friends were into their second bottle of Cristal," said a restaurantgoer. "Right after the first course, they started fighting."

The two began cursing each other in front of other patrons in the crowded Chinese eatery, including Ryan Cabrera, Brandy and Serena Williams at nearby tables. "A mortified" Lindsay finally told her mother to "go to hell!" before she exited. After Lindsay left, Dina started "crying and shaking . . . Dina typed vigorously on her BlackBerry for 45 minutes while her friends were just sitting there, and when the birthday cake came out, she broke out crying again - even louder."

The unhappy birthday girl - who calls herself the "white Oprah" - also made "five trips to the bathroom in 90 minutes and came back to the table sniffling each time," said our witness.

The tired and emotional Dina was so distraught that she started "throwing fortune cookies at the waiters and flipping them off." Finally, after four hours of partying, the $2,000 bill was paid - with no tip for the waiters, who then "had to help her out of the restaurant as it closed down for the night."

Lindsay, meanwhile, seemed to be on her best behavior at the Calvin Klein party at 7 World Trade Center, though she seemed upset by her mom's meltdown. Lindsay was spotted in tears at one point as she mingled with Drew Barrymore, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Mischa Barton, Margherita Missoni and Carine Roitfeld.

Later, having calmed down, she ended the night among friends at Bungalow 8.

A spokesman for Lohan had no comment.

September 12, 2006

Christina Aguilera was apparently slated to appear on the cover of Vibe's October issue--complete with an in-depth interview and photo shoot--but was booted from the cover in favor of Bobby Brown when a regime change at Vibe dictated it shall be so. According to Lloyd Grove's Lowdown at the New York Daily News:

...I hear the Aguilera camp went ballistic -- with her powerful manager, Irving Azoff, sending a saber-rattling letter alleging breach of contract -- when Vibe wanted to use the sexy photos on its Web site, but not in the print version. Vibe editor in chief Mimi Valdes originally scheduled the Aguilera cover and conducted the interview this summer, but she lost her job in July, when new owners took over. Valdes' replacement, Danyel Smith, had a different idea. "I can't speak on the previous administration, and what they did promise or didn't promise," Smith told me. "But there was never an article to put anywhere. There was never a written piece." Smith -- who was also Vibe's editor in the late 1990s -- declined to comment on the stern letter, but acknowledged: "We had considered putting the photos online and then decided against it."
I just don't know what exactly Bobby Brown would even be bothering to promote right now. Does he have his own line of crack pipes coming out or something?

Anna Nicole

She gave birth on Sunday in the Bahamas. That same day her twenty year old son was found dead in his hotel room. Police don't think drugs or alcohol are involved, and are investigating. I can't think of anything more sad than losing a child. And at such a happy time for her, with the birth of her new baby. I feel so bad for her!

Did You Watch?

2006-09-01T19:33:35Z

If you didn't, you didn't miss much . . .

I was disappointed - I really didn't care for Jack Black as a host. I really like him but as a host, he just didn't do it for me. Overall, pretty boring . . .

I loved the dancing by Beyonce. Yes, it was much like Janet Jackson, but I loved the trench coat effect and Beyonce and her dancers had the timing down to perfection.

Xtina - what can I say? Beautiful voice, beautiful dress, beautiful body - Perfect!

What the heck - J Lo's outfit - Oh no, that just didn't work. Uncover those gray hairs and be proud, girl!

All in all, rather ho-hum . . .Oh well. . .On to the next awards show . . .

KFed

2006-08-21T17:31:06Z

Whoa! Anyone catch Britney and KFed at the Teen Choice Awards last nite? Brit looked like a cow and I swear, she had the ever present wad of gum in her mouth! KFed's "singing" or rapping or whatever was laughable.

I love Keanu but I hate the beard. I was thrilled when Nick Lachey won for his single, which was really about him and Jessica. It was fantastic when he accepted the award (surf board!) and said, "Well, this is awkward." - being that Jessica was the co-host for the award show!

Jessica Alba was gorgeous - as usual - and she seems so sweet. I was so suprised by the look that Ludricrous now has - no braids, just short hair - looks good on him and I see that he is using his real name (Chris) now that he is getting into the acting thing.

Sean Paul - cute and sexy, as always. Whoa! This was the first time I heard/saw Rihanna sing - I think she is fantastic! A real cutie. Sexy moves and great voice. Look out Beyonce!

Wow! WWE pay per view (blood, guts, and gore!), followed by Teen Choice Awards (celebs!). ending with Big Brother (I wish Jenelle would win but I know she won't!) - a truly trashy evening - but interesting!

Ok, Lindsay Lohan - whatz up with her? I can't figure her out. I like her but sometimes I think she's too loose and alot of the time I can't stand to look at the stuff she wears. Her jewelry looks cheap most of the time. Only once in a while do I like her clothes. She cleans up well for magazine shots but I wish she'd get fashion advice from someone.

A Hot idea! In fact, it's Sizzling!!!

2006-08-07T18:45:39Z

I woke up this morning feeling like a sexy little tramp without her mother sleeping
upstairs! After all, I was only a twentyone plus child of the sixties and seventies,
kind of like Gracie Slick..."When you open your mouth, what comes out...?" And I knew
I could say the right thing to the right company and become a star! I'd buy myself a
penthouse in Miami and wake up staring across at Trump Towers. And the best
lover I've ever had would be sleeping in our bed, a little later than I...And he would and
COULD not be caught by authorities of our vague subculture, because he would be
a psychiatrist! Don't you love that one? No mothers or doctors or program directors
to plan the coming week for you...Noone to tell you "you need a haircut!" or to talk about
"medications"...Yilch, America! Psychiatry is supposed to be a good thing! So I'll finish
with this. If you follow me from my last article, "Names", you'll see what I mean when I
talk about coercive psychiatry...not necessarily from the authorities, either. Families
can sometimes even be more of an unsteady course in this "basically still new"
science...I take about fifteen pills a day...I'm not blaming anyone. I'm just thinking
about a better alternative to all this S---!!! Marry a shrink and forget about the rest of it!
Thankyou. It's only a silly letter of pain. It's not meant to do anyone harm or to do
liability to those with psychiatric prescriptions. Those fifteen pills get supervised
extremely seriously every single day. Maybe someday, right? Something new, like
dance therapy or music therapy, you know! Yeah.
Thankyou.

Names by Reisa L. Gerber

2006-08-03T18:58:59Z

I have written several letters to the Tribe because I cannot get any help off of any plane
at all, no matter how hard I may try. Bare with me while I nickname my therapist as
"free haul" and the head of the case managers "Reverend". After all, she was kind to
call me "bonne claire"...the head. That's a reference to somethings we all have to sit on
because others with more "sanity" can walk away with anything they want to.
My very closest and loved one, mom, does not want me to leave Del Ray Beach, Fla.,
where I am patient at a residential home. I have lived here, I believe, about two
years. I have been unhappy for a long time, although some if it is ambivalence and
bipolar, and, of course, the weather is beautiful....almost as silent as a subliminal
order! Stupid joke....anyway, my poor mom has to take me to doctors appointments
all over heck, and she's almost 75 and i can't be a burden anymore. I consider this
an atrocity and no reason at all for fame. I go to the head honcho, directly, and he
refers me to my case manager, in code, rainifore. I got to rainifore, and, apparently, "she's new here", I was told. "Give her time>" The dual diagnosis treatment team leader,
referred me to my senior citizen supervisor, in code name, Candy. The secretaries,
of which there are two in the administration office, sharon and Carlotta, in code names,
say, "Talk to your case manager">...and then, of course, I do go to the Reverend, right?
And she tries to talk to me, I know.
I also know, that it takes approximately ten minutes to sign a release form with your
signiture to fax the data up to Middletown, New York! I lived there ten years and my
mother is suffering enough and everyone thinks I treat her inappropriately, and I do.
And I would wish she would have her friends andall her time all year, and see me
in the summer, like rent a bungalow or something, right?
It comes down to this: signature on release form: Reisa L. Gerber
signature on release form: South County Mental Health
Oh, boy, I promise to Tribe.net I will never, ever bother you again.
Thankyou.
July 14, 2006
p.s. If I have any debts, God forbid, I will scringe from New York and make it up
somehow. Thankyou...so, so, very much.

Have You Ever Gone Crazy Using Color Combination Plates? by Reisa L. Gerber

2006-07-12T17:49:52Z

Here is a list of those combinations!
maroon flash yellow, you lied undercover! yellow and pastel blue, you can't face the
two! Pale light blue and maroon, "the end is coming!" you scream to the chosen few!
Bluegreen, "that's about you", Bluegreen flash yellow, you made it up quickly, oh, you
"Farmer in the Dell!" it's raining, and it's drying. Blue and gray, I'm in love with this
lade, hot fuschia pink, I'm turnin' her down....with a little wink! (quinkly!!!) Red is that
notion "I'm better off....oh, stop that, crank!!!!" Turquoise, I'm embarassed, and
Plum, I'm ignoring, and silver just means "I'm afraid of the drawing!" And finally,
after ALL THIS WORK, you go home and "sleep it off"! And your lover hears you
snoring....I love the colors, and I applied it to Tribe.net in Miami....Sincerely, R. L. Gerber

I'm So Sorry to Be Leaving.....

2006-07-03T18:20:43Z

I loved this tribe from the start. Its leftist swing was the most fun thing,
because I could say and do anything I wanted, with a maximum of
pleause. I posted about thrity or so gossip columns. Maybe twentyfive
were up to my calibur, but for me, that's great, and I mean it!
I walk proudly behind my little stash with a great deal of pride.
You don't have to remove these little articles at all...you just need to make
clear that I felt myself freakin' out and the worst of all was the downslide
on Mellencamp's "Jack and Diane"....the other ones were also cool...
I guess Chris can use his judgement on the decision of what to do! Please don't
delete my goodbye to the tribe. It has meant so so much to me.
And I'll tell you something. It aint you guys who done it.
The staff et al, of this nauseous place regard it as a sickening type of
prelude to a future regarding writing 'til I drop! And they won't even read it...
except for one doctor, who is medical, not even psychological....
and, oh yeah, the doctors you have to see...include:
regular doctor
gynecologist
dentist
gastroenterologist
psychiatrist/case manager/therapist
........you know.....that's coming in clearly.
However, as a staff, they made the works of my life into symptoms of
disturbance. And I will not forget it. And if they don' like it, I'll tell you this-
they can pretend they never even saw it in the first place.
Memories: Barbara-does hot pink nailpolish like I've never seen in my life
for seven bucks!
Another woman is thinking about the possibility of living in a suite-type area
in her living room for three hundred eighty dollars a month, including
everything...she'll get the bedroom, because her parents own the condo...
But there are also other possibilities.
But I won't have the choice. You're fifty and you think you can swing it...
but, unfortunately, they don't. So there goes that chance.
I live in a Community Residence (have to talk, everyone...).
I adore my roommate, but that doesn't change my chance to move out
with this other woman by the end of the summer. And if the old superiors
"don't like it", tough.
TOUGH? AT FIFTY YEARS OLD? TOUGH?
I'm so sorry to be leaving. And the Tribe just revoked my bookmark for the
second time, so I feel that it is time to walk away. Please leave my work on
for at least a week or so, so I can can them printed and say "Gooodbye"
to people who gave me all that time and attention.
Reisa L Gerber
July 3, 2006
p.s. the day after we communicated on any level, the woman split our daytreatment

Consumers of Mental Health by Reisa L. Gerber/client at South Cy. Mental Health,Fla.

2006-06-27T18:24:42Z

This residence thrives at DelRay Beach, Florida, which is where I live. However, I am
here over two years, and i want to go back to New York, which is where I lived for
forty seven years. I have asked the Director of the program about returning to New
York, as well as my basic consumer counselor, and I can't seem to get a response
that would be positive. I was fifty on April 10, and without my Gossip Column, et al,
the "compulsive yearning act" to do computers over and over again...I don't know
where I'd be....everyone tells me it is a compulsive act...there are other issues...
like "this one" and "this one" and "I'm famous" or "whoever is a superstar"...you
know...this stuff went out of style ten years ago...but....are you sure you're not a
superstar? This is silly, right!!! My family's essential presence is my mother,
who lives nearbye, and who gives me much more than anyone could imagine,
and I'm not just tslking the material world, either. I also have a spot in a fanclub,
and, you know, it aint so bad, right? But that isn't the issue. Now:
1. I have budgetting problems, and I receive charge cards every day or so,
and my treatment team essentially has to cut them up with scissors,
which, you know? I understand.
However, still and all, I could receive treatment in New York just as easily.
The place is off of a Route 17? Exit 120!!! That don't sound familiar, right?
Yeah...It's on the way from Manhattan to Binghamton...that might sound a little more
familiar.
2. For years, in Florida, as a snowbird and as a perennial member of the
Boyton Beach community, she hired someone to take me shopping and out to a
restaurant once or twice a month. THat's talkin' white socks, you know?
But the highways down here could run you down in the five minutes it takes to
cross over to the other side of the highway....illlegal, anyway.
3. I still can't do the bus thing...and
4. this residential community situation allows "open the cainets" time abou twice
a day, little doggy! Come eat!
5. I could name names if I want....but what I really want are my legal rights, so I will
know where to start in my search to return to Middletown.
Yeah, I was thinking about a drama club, or a chorus, but all I really do is play around
with the computer!!I could do that in the library up there....and the winters are freezing!
Really cold!
"But, still, I want out"...So I called all those numbers on the wall and embarassed everyone.
I called the radio and the deejay said,on-line, "Go to sleep, honey.!
What is legal and what isn't?

We hear word that Diane can't get over Jack or Bobby yet!!! by Reisa L. Gerber

2006-06-10T16:08:15Z

The last time I had access to a fantasy involving a favorite ditty, it was positive...
but this is sad...although it must be reported through the grapevine of Reisa's
column at Tribe.net.com.
Diane is having a problem leaviing Jack, and also Bobby.
Jack was sooo close to Diane that he even asked her to "romp to city", and her
oh so cool and assured answer was "baby, you aint missing a thing"!
And old Bobby just wanted to "....do what he wanted!"....He made mention to his
desire to "do what he pleases"....and Diane is surviving, BUT however,
Jack says "he sits back and Flex his thought s for a moment....scratches his head,
does his "embarassed....James Dean".....hint...."trailor for room or rent".....right?
Fifty cents! Cheap, huh? In the end, I am sure Diane will accomplish Jack and Bobby
for what they need to do.....My best wishes to both of them! Cool! Fantasy gossip!
Thankyou......Reisa L. Gerber

When You Fear that awful word, have a backup supply!!!! (DELETE!!!) by Reisa L. Gerber

2006-06-07T17:25:46Z

printed from: Cherrybombclub, John Mellencamp.com
As I have redundantly repeated, I love alot of John's stuff! I open up my big, big mouth
to my poor mom. She's full to the brim of these "John Mellencamp" interests. It's
embarassing! I have a mantra, based on on a match with one of his own repetitions.
"Bummed OUT at 18, grabbed my guitar, hit Miami (headed off...) at a quarter to four!"
I love! I regard an invitation that that wasn't extended as though I was short of cash...uh-huh

Lulu.com gets Airtime! by Reisa L. Gerber

2006-05-31T18:16:48Z

I plan to publish ten songs on July 4, 2006, so that my family and friends can truly
take a look-see at some of my most important lyrics. That includes my Aunt and Uncle
in California! Hi! The way I have decided to publish my ten songs is to publish it through
"The Writer's Word" the "Lulu,com Forum Index"...I have been writing lyrics and songs
since 1978, and I have never gotten the chance to get out there and share some of my
works. I finally decided to "take up a couple pages of space!" and ask for "gratis permission" to have a little room to publish on Lulu.com , to be published on the
previously mentioned date, in the late afternoon...on Lulu terrain, though spoken of in
Tribe.net.com. In the vernacular of the old Reisa L. Gerber, "Yahoooooooooooooo!"!
Reisa L. Gerber's Collection of "Reisa L. Gerber's Collection of Reisa L. Gerber"...
P.S. Hey! I know you don't know him, Jude!!! Luv You!
Table of Contents
1. From the Heart
2. The Violet Silver Sunset
3. Treatment Plan@
4. Euphoria (unplugged)
5. Maybe You Would Start To Find OUT Why
6. The Sister's Medley (It Must Be) and (It's Alright!")
7. "From the First Time that I Saw You"-"Wedding Song for Jude and Steven"1984
8. Lucky Stars (edit)
9. The Black Rose of Calcutta
10.Your Love Feels For Two of Us
I hope my readers will enjoy it, as I would love to hear from them...In the next month to
come, the details will be worked out, I hope. Thankyou to Lulu.com. I tried the phone,
but there was no reply.

Bein' In a Big place that Has to Stay Anonymous and Small by Reisa L. Gerber

2006-05-23T00:54:46Z

Do you like to see your name in print? I sort of get a thrill out of knowin' my comments,
critiques and compliments are being read by people who belong to a "pick and choose"
community as I do, with chains all over the country. I have something to share, you
know, and i try to check in everyday once or twice, to make sure evrything is okay.
Some spam is always hanging there for me to brush off my intelligence...but I hope
my readers understand that who I am is generally clear-right?
I wrote for a few days to "RAW STORY/BLUE LEMUR" to try to convey that in July of 1997,
235 people went down into the Atlantic Ocean like hot air balloons, and I remember how
Judy Collins led a saddened and tragic lightness to our hearts with roses and
the song "Amazing Grace", I remember waking up about 8:30p.m. that evening, and
hearing the news...la-de-da, America, I love and i luv...and....you're okay...but it's just
so unreal to see America nine years later, the old "big shot" and "big brother" country
to the world...I always wonder if the way we got back at the torturous barbaric atrocities
Saddam Hussein and Bin Laden...ad nauseum...put on our lives...would there never
be enough of it to satiate either side, no matter who was right and who was wrong?
Some niceties like opening the door for someone, or complimenting an outfit,
or treating a friend to a meal or leaving a big tip...make us smile at the ridiculosity of
Bin Laden as the waitress in that country, Iran or whatever...you know...Stevie Wonder's
song...Iraq, Iran...as a gratuity awaits the waitres...you know...it's so silly...however,
my older sister sent my mother a thousand dollars to pay for a cleaning lady....
She was so touched....and, then, I wrote a torturous letter to President Bush,
condemning him for his 48 hour "dare you"...Even I would say "you know",
"try and see what happens to you!" I apologize with all my heart. He is still our
President, and maybe if we show him how to treat a regular old person like me,
-'cause, I mean, I'm just a "pain in the a--! I really am!" ' Anyway, "I'm sorry"....
SO-can we try as a world to lighten up a little bit? Look, I'm facing an endoscopy
tomorrow morning. I had my last meal at 6:30 p.m....it's almost 9:00 now. And mom
wants me back at the house...I will say, however, in finishing this little soliliquy-
"Take care of yourself-" and, believe me, I have the right to say it.
and to Paul Simon: "Still, when I think of the road we're travelling on,
I wonder what went wrong-I can't help it-
I wonder what went wrong..."
Still, right?...et al..."I would not be convicted by a jury of my peers...."
is something Paul sang. I'm not Paul.
God Bless America.

Two Outrageous Members of the Rock and Roll Community have bad news..

2006-05-14T18:37:39Z

Arrowsmith is one of the most incredible rock and roll groups of the generation from which
I come...he is a "gent" and he is "a cutey"-that's how it seems to me.
He came to know early enough in his life how important family ties are....
He's like, if not yet, a grandfather potential, as is my mentor, Mellencamp...
The"he" I refer to in the first sentence is Steven Tyler. His voice has some similarity
to John Mellencamp's, but it actually is better! He can do a rock and roll scream,
way up there in the sky of my life and most...people....not falsetto at all....
I hate falsetto....kind of like, "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"-and it's beautiful, especially
in one of his newer songs..."I don't want to fall asleep, 'cause I'll miss ya, babe,
and I don't wanna miss a thing"....it's beautiful. And then, of course, "Treat Me Like
A Lady"...another classic, and "Ragdoll", another one, "Ragdoll, living in the movies,
Turn out the light, here's daddy's little cutey!." So, what happened? He just had
an operation on his voicebox, where, thank God they restored a leakin' blood vessel,
He said he'd be back....but I want him to know that the masterpiece in MY heart,
is "Sweet Emotion"....I hope he finds that girl backstage there who drinks from his
glass or something, I don't know...
And, of course, Keith Richards, from the Rolling Stones....just had brain surgery.
Poor guy...he fell out of a tree or something, he was climbing for cocoanuts or
somethin'....Get better, Keith...If Mick wants to throw "Tumblin' Dice" down the
music graveyard, YOU do the vocals....
And, of course, the 1,000th issue of Rolling Stone Magazine.....has a hologram-type
cover...it's neat.
Get well soon, Steve...Keith, too.

Okay! Break down and Tell Us all! by Reisa L. Gerber

2006-04-15T15:59:38Z

It all began in 1985, when I heard John Mellencamp on the radio.
and I wrote him a song called "What a Blow to the Ego"! Then as years
went by, I bought all off his releases, until I got to see him at a place
called "Jones' Beach ampitheatre", The man is amazing. All I remember
is his presence alone on the stage, although he mentioned two members
of his band, that had accompanied him during the concert.
We all know "Jack and Diane" and "Little Pink Houses", I think.
The latter won a Grammy award in 1983!!
He has an honest quality to his voice by necessity that amazes me.
I joined his fanclub, and I'm facsinated at the way people help each other
out...I, for example, keep on thinking "..he knows my sister...", and he didn't
respond..only to publish my craziness in his message board, the
Cherrybomclub! He is the most liberal of all, although you rarely find
his face, in fact, never, on a tabloid.....so this is a first as far as I go!
So I decided to follow him...and I have.
I have a longshot, impossible dream to sing back-up on one of his songs,
or, sing the most incredible song ever written, which is called,
"Those Weakest Mpments".....It's a story of a broken marriage plan....
"cheap-pa, cheap-pa,
Well, I saw you downstairs, you were fooling around
With your father's brother abd her wedding gown,
And all of those heroes kept on coming around,
To find out if you're still alone.
So you lie in the sun, watch your body turn tan-
You're skin is oiled with the sweat of a man-
He gave you a diamond ring to wear on your hand,
And, baby, he'sleaving tomorrow!"
What a dam sad thing! I've been through it...anyway!
Anyway, the Rolling Stone Magazine covers him.....but
the lack of a constant driving pest might shock him into looking at
the Tribe gossip column to see it if someone tells him to.....
I adore his lyrics, because, in particular, that song, about a
"change in wedding plans" had me rockin' to the beat of a realgone story
that has happened to me!
Rock on, John! The Hall of Fame...may it burn in effigy!
Love to you, John!

The MOST Incredible Endorsement by Reisa L. Gerber

2006-04-06T18:25:05Z

Today's thoughts take me back years ago to England...if you wanted gossip
anywheres, you could find it in the royal family! Starting with a rumour about
Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip, there was an article printed that she worked....
as a scullery maid before scrambling her way to the Queen's "position"! Now
that is worth misrepresentation insofar as I know it to raise serious doubts about
who this gossip columnist is, and where she got that one! I loved her when she said
"Take all of Diana's jewelry off before burial". I never likd Dodi. He split his fiance
and settled for hundreds of thousands of dollars that bounced. And THAT is true!
But she loved him, little strawberry and all that she pelted at him the final evening!
I loved HER! Her dedication to her causes was, to me, above and beyond her
"royal duties"-And, of course, Sarah Ferguson, who was also divorced with
two girls, became the spokeswoman for Weight Watchers....That one's true.
I am always travelling..up and down that scale like a runner! I'm sort of short,
so I go from 98lb. to 110....but this time, I'm down to 98 and that weight stays...
and that is that! I know Diana also had a problem with anorexia...at least, it
looked that way. You know, I heard that Prince Charles and his new wife...
were a little hypocritical about the sweet lady....Camilla...called her a "ridiculous
creature"....The only ridicule I have there is for her, because, I get embarassed
when my columns are deleted or criticized, but the "tea towels are already
printed" is what Diana's sister said when she told her she knew Prince Charles
was interested in her. I don't know...She was financially covered whatever she did.
She was a children's kind of teacher, before she took on the duties of her new
status in the Royal Family. She did lots of exercizing, and I even heard she
sang Karoake at least once at a nighttime cafe! And then, like me, she fell in love with
the wrong guy, right? And she'd call him sometims and hang up when he answered.
And she was the best mom William and Harry could ever have, you know?
I saw a picture of her slappin' his little butt as she chased him down the soccer
field...
It was like, crazy, when my friends who I lived with opened up the newspaper
at 10:00 a.m. that morning, and saw the headlines! It's like, it could happen to
anyone! And you just cried your heart out when you saw the little letter one
of her sons wrote to her on the top of the coffin....
And I hear she is buried in HER OWN family plot, thank G-d....and that's
about it. So if this columnist's employers see fit to print, I'll read it every
morning....
Good-bye in public, Princess Di! YOU were the most incredibly reckless
of all.
Love, and rest in peace...a rose.

Moms and their Famous Children by Reisa L. Gerber

2006-03-26T20:01:39Z

The first kidstar I saw with her mom was Brooke Shields! Terry, right? She was posin' for all those Calvin Klein jeans and everytime you saw her, her mother was right there to
support her successes...For goodness sakes, I'm 49, and I can't even handle a hundred
bucks without goofing it up, you know? Mothers will always be on hand to help their
clelbrity children make it right...however, I guess Eminem's mother had enough of the
public criticism, so she sued him....Never found out what happened..only heard he was hangin' out with his ex-Kim...he mooned at us all from some wellknown magazine lately!
I'm interested because in the past, I was always putting my mother and father down,
trying to make it seem like they were dominating people who were makin' me into a puppet!
I would say, "Well, my sister gave me a subliminal order and made me!!" That didn't have
any successs but "oh no...Reisa is getting psychotic!!" But years passed, and I stopped
putting them down and blaming them. My psychiatrist had dinner with my parents and I
and mom got hysterical...I promised her I would never rely on her so severely, since all
I wanted to do was compare her to very evil substance...it hurt her so!
And even when we forgot to fill Social Security in on my subsequent psychiatric
hospitalization, my older sister said, "Where do you think the money goes? To YOU,
you freakin' nut!!!!" Well, not exactly, but close enough for rock and roll!
And of course, Mrs. Britney and her mom..insofar as her old highschool chum....
Her mom flew out to Las Vegas and over the weekend the marriage was annulled.
Meanwhile, my mother escorts me to all my medical appointments...there were alot
this year...we have cancer in the family, and anytime is the right time, right?
So, moms are here to stay....and , I mean, they had us along with our fathers, right?
...who was it who said..."go to school and live at home,,,?"
And the final parental hassle started when that poor little kid in that Christmas movie,
Macauley...or whatever...his father apparently took control of the money he made and
there was parental arguing over it...I would have hired an accountant...it was not his
parents' dough, right?....me....government support with family help!!!
I argue sometimes with mom. Dad died in 1999 of stomach cancer, but he was always
telling me, "you always say you can handle it, and you never do it!"....I can change...
a little, I think! I'm almost fifty and my mother allows for some mistakes, because I'm
really kind of getting up there...and I haven't really worked since the mid-eighties.
If I could get a degree in aerobic dance, I could do that...but other than teaching Spanish
people how to do a little translations...I'm not really qualified for anything! And, of
course, I moved to Florida from New York to be near my mother....so, I guess we all need 'em in some way, huh? G-d bless mom and help her when "her knee gives out",
which is her current symptom....just indicative that me, my sisters and mom are getting
older! I love you, mom!

"The Heat is ON" in Florida! by Reisa L. Gerber

2006-03-16T17:54:07Z

This was my second Christmas holiday in Florida, and although the heat wasn't what
it should have been, it still was an improvement from New York!!! I lived there over 47
years of my life, and i had to endure winter freeze and broiling heat...and that inevitable
knowledge every springtime that winter would come again...you could never get away
from these hard opposite poles! So...I have a question...being that age and such and
deserving the respect we normally grant to competent people of my age.
I am in a group at my mental health living facility, which happens to be the most
beautiful of situations...However, I have asked for and received, as you will, permission to
join Senior Citizens...I will be fifty on April 10, 2006....Mom is helping me throw a
birthday party for big old 5-0! We're having it on a Sunday morning from 10:00-12:00!
Bagels and cream cheese, butter, jam, whitefish...specialty coffee...maybe dunkin'
donuts...juice...and I'm, like, happy to have settled enough so that I can count on some
guests!!! Hopefully, some relatives will fly down for the celebration!
My life has become sheltered down here, because I keep forgetting where I am...
in DelRay Beach, Florida, which is where I stay, across from the "Bokaray " mall!
And there's a Walmart across the street and an Albertson's grocery store, too....
Better watch those traffic lights, right? It's a little like a strip mall....but not really much
more than four or five other stores in the "Bokaray"...I can't help but feel sad, my own
gossip!!!, that I never married, had a career, except for this one,"sort of"-gossip
columnist! No lover, few friends, no children, although I have three nieces and a
nephew!! Nephew goes to Princeton...etc...brilliant people in my family...several
aunts...two brothers-in-law...and my mother. Mom is the rock of the family...she
and dad stayed committed to the cause of Mental Health, and now he is gone, but
she remains active...It's. like, unbelievable to live through this kind of thing, for
close family, as well as for me!!! I've had 22 psychiatric hospitalizations!!! But, you know,
my opinions are never stable, but extremely erratic...I take medications three times a
day!!! But, you know what? Here's the scoop:
We had a talent show last night in the livin' room of New Beginnings, the Community
Residence where I live! I sang "Break Me Off Some", acapella, by John C. Mellencamp,
and Edelweiss, from "The Sound of Music" with another resident...Mom was there.
One of the dedicated of the staff put the gig together...I had such a piss singin!
I love to gossip about myself and my little world...but it's kind of confidential.
But i will say this: Sandi, Jude and Mom-thanks for picking me up and putting me down
in what I think is an appropriate connection with life...And to America, thankyou for
your high calibur plans with which to help people like me who just can't seem to get it
together without alot of help....Let's generalize here...More.

Another Big Party in DelRay Beach, Florida! by Reisa L. Gerber

2006-03-13T18:19:38Z

I only meant to go to the new Library in DelRay Beach last Saturday to do some printing,,,
I knew the bus was number 70N...drops you right across the corner from the blue-green
house with yellow window ...shutters! Unfortunately, I lost track of time, and hit town
about by Five-thirty! To my shock and pleasure, I saw a band playing live rock and roll,
and a whole bunch of young people, hanging out and havin' a piss of a time! I
had not reported my whereabouts to those that must be in the know....oy-well-I live at a
Community Residence about seven or so miles up north...I did get on the bus, but from
there on, until I finally found the Library, which was closed....I called the staff, but they
weren't especially sympathetic, although my financial situation is not good! But they told me
they had a big St Patrick's Day parade on Saturday, and I kind of just missed it....
After running after a bus or tow, and admitting to myself I was lost, I went in and had a
cup of outrageous butter pecan icecream....and...I called my mother, who thank God was
home! I wouldn't have missed it for the world, though....Somehow, in between home
and the town of DelRay Beach...I ended up at at a nice and wellknown mall and had
a little fried chicken on a bun...a buck at Kentucky Fried Chicken!!!
So, right ny The Green Owl in DelRay Beach, mom pulled up and took me home....
I'm very lucky about that...she was home...So I got home before dark! People and
people...so many people! I sang my mantra a number of times:
"Quit at eighteen and grab your guitar
Head off to Miami for a round....in the bar" or something like that....wishin' that they could find
somebody else....I am not interested in losing my site, and if anyone fraudulently
tries to close my gossip column, please assume it's a phony.
Happy St Patrick's Day a little early, everyone!
Sincerely, Reisa L. Gerber

The Big Day is Coming (Should I laugh or cry?) by Reisa L. Gerber

2006-03-08T07:11:52Z

My computer pal here at South County Mental Health just filled me in: Today is 3/7/06!
I have an obsessive/compulsive drive to "hangin' out" here in the computer room!
Subsequently, I only get an hour or so a day now! It used to be, like, four or five...
And I love it! However, something has come up...it is my fiftieth birthday, which arrives on
April tenth! I can't believe it myself...I lived in New York for the past fourty-eight years,
and a close friend advised...me in the dead of the winter of 2003, that not only would he
be refusing me caffiene products as of my charge account, but that if I didn't join my
mother in Florida soon, the roots would begin to grow that could ruin my life....As I said
in a previous column, once here, she had to find me
1. regular doctor
2. dentist
3. gynecologist
4.optometrist
5.opthamologist (borderline glaucoma)
6.heart doctor
And of course, a psychiatrist, a social worker/case manager, therapist...
I reside in a community residence here called "New Beginnings"-
The taxpayers put out for it...they should know a little bit, for goodness sakes!
And the residence is called "New Beginnings"!
South County has the mmost beautiful grounds!!!They get goofed up every hurricaine
season, though....And the sun is shining alot more down here than New York....
I dedicate this article to John Mellencamp, who sings "Baltimore Oriole"-
"Baltimore Oriole, took a look at the Mercury, thirty below-
No place for a lady to drag her feathers in the snow-
I'd like to ruffle her feathers-mess around with the big guys-Baltimore Orioles"-
I hereby end my little autobiographical compendium!!
The only luck in thrity years is when my 2.0 cum, a C- at Cornell University, got
switched to pass/fail at Orange County Community College, in MIddletown, N.Y.!
The semester I switched, I got a 3.0!!It's an easier colleg than Cornell! S here I am,
down in DelRay beach, Florida, with a lovely cumulative average...not that I'll ever
go to school again anyway, right?....Baltimore Oriole!

Whoooooo! I Love Who I Love! A compliment for Tom Cruise

2006-02-28T18:29:15Z

When I first became a fan of Tom's, it was in a local psychiatric ward, but a nice one!
I saw "Top Gun"...and its la-de-da in the introduction. He was obviously gorgeoous
because this unique and talented top woman flyer had a secret affair with him, while
the both of them were involved in very high secrecy in the United States. He was so good!
I remember that I couldn't figure out how they made it a way "up in the sky" plane,
but in Hollywood they can do anything! Then I saw another one, a comedy, where there
was this big congregational church and about a thousand brides!!! Ya' know...and now I
see titles of his stuff, like "Vanilla Sky"-on the advertisemnt, he is standing against a car.
Oh, my goodness! He was so adorable...and I hear he hits five foot nine, and that's all!
I hafto read more and see more...even though in my dreams, he even TELLS ME, "No."
I also know a little gossip about his other lovers and a very little I've read about his
little girl and boy...You know, you can just go so far and then people wonder what it is
you're after...All I really want is for his superstardom to shine...and for him, personally,
"Blowin' in the Wind."....Good luck to him and his future..et al. I'm a gossip columnist,

I Made it With One Man Once! by Reisa L. Gerber

2006-02-24T18:22:34Z

I was living in a little livin' room apartment with a kitchen...and, of course, a bathroom...
tub and shower! This little arrangement lasted from somewhere out of the early
nineties. Incredibly, it was right next to the apartment my father grew up in, in a small
town called Liberty, New York. Below, where the "Gerber's Drycleaner" was once a
business, was a cafe bar called "The Pursuit of Happiness". My former friend Elliot
bought the building from my uncle, who had remained landlord after the sale of the
building. I don't need to tell myself that things were not going well. My parents flew up
from their Florida vacation...da-de-da-de-da....bye bye, apartment!
But!!!! Before they ever left Florida, for the Catskills, which is what this region is called
in New York, a young spanish man made my acquaintance! We introduced ourselves,
and I left about forty dollars on my dresser, let him in for some chit-chat, and took him
to my parents' home. I had the key while they were away. We walked up Main Street,
to their home and I opened the door, and we went in for some lovely time to-
"get to know each other!!!" Next thing I knew, after showing him my 1974 High School
yearbook, we ended up in my parents' room with N-O P-R-O-T-E-C-T-I-O-N!!!!
Of course, he made the usual "I can't " excuse, as some men do....
Next thing I knew, i was back at my apartment, he was gone forever, thank G-d, and
I was out forty bucks.
Trivia question of the day: What did Reisa leave on her dresser that was there before
this young man entered her apartment, and was gone when
he left?
I LOVED WRITING THIS! I HOPE YOU WILL PRINT IT IF JUST FOR FUN!!!
p.s. answer to trivia question: forty bucks.
Thanks!

What's the latest Gang doing, honey? (The Ones With the Real Scoop!)

2006-02-21T17:22:15Z

This was an exceptionally peaceful president's weekend...that means, of course, I had
a tremendous quarrel with my favorite person (my roommate), but we're cool now!
I woke up at one or two o'clock in the morning, as usual, and kept her up again!
Oh, the dirt! I snuck into our collective kitchen and drank sweet jim tea that didn't even
belong to me, but the little caffiene jag did the trick! Soon I was back in bed!
The next day, I went to mother's house....list...! and had a really nice time, playin' with
the computer even though it's not printing! I felt sad because my former roommate is
trying to claim that I am a plagiarist....My only muse, other than my heart, are the spirit
voices that I hear, and they're beautiful...I went with a close friend to the library in DelRay
Beach, Florida, and had a piss for three dollars of printing time! Then we tried to get in
to see a jazz concert, but the line was so long, we couldn't wait....so we went to dunkin'
donuts and had some coffee. Ever gossip about yourself?
Hint: pretend you are interviewing someone for a publication, and in that sense,
you must LISTEN with OPEN EARS or you will lose your little vocation!
Thankyou! Reisa L. Gerber-2/21/06

Hey! Ya' know, I'm bored stiff and I can't hold a job! by Reisa L. Gerber

2006-02-14T16:53:01Z

I can hardly remember when I held down a job....except when appointments hold my
interactions....heart problems, a zillion echocardiams, mammograms, colonoscopy,
and Electrocardiograms, a cat scan this past year...It's kind of interesting.....a relative
of mine had a bypass last month, and I thought, "David Letterman, talk about that stuff
on your show so he knows that he can continue on happily as can be, ever after....
My gooodness! I forgot showers and brushin' the old teeth, puttin' on clean clothes-
"The Fruit of Another" by Stevie Winwood, formerly of the rock group "Traffic", talks about
some of this stuff-SINGS about some of this stuff! One relative had a mastectomy and a
manufactured substitute from her own skin! Dad died of stomach cancer....his dad died
of cancer, too! So, you know, the stars are so very really humans, you know? We're all
"physical" in the sense of our inside functions...A therapist I saw for five years, who is
younger than my fifty-coming-up this April, had angioplasty ! So did John Mellencamp.
You know....la-de-da-de-da-de-da! Sometime, I'm going to write a song about my
medical problem-that is, a slighted chemical imbalance....ya' know....
So, anyway, I just felt like touching on things human beings have to do, whether famous
or not.....We're all people....
Thanks-Reisa L. Gerber
Happy Valentine's Day, everybody!---------oh yeah, and floss!

Hey! I've Been Slaving Away for Free!!! by Reisa L. Gerber

2006-02-10T22:00:22Z

I saw a little blurb about the possibility of earning a little money from my Gossip entries
this afternoon. I asked for a hundred dollars a year...My topics have included:
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, Britney Spears, Nicole Kidman, Musician Todd Rundgren,
my special nephew Lee Noah, Faith Hill, Florida on New Years Eve, Elizabeth Taylor and
Richard Burton, an author with cancer who writes beautifully despite his illness,
an apology to the President for ANY ugly inferences, while still defending peoples' rights,
privacy and the law, including gag orders, etcetera....a few divorces, like Jennifer Anniston
and Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman...and I still smile, even though I was
apparently at this point, not allowed the hundred per year I requested! I think it's
fascinating to see a very unemployed lady turned down again!!! And embarassing.It's okay.

I Can't Believe It's True (litigation is never not for sure!) reisa l. gerber

2006-02-05T00:04:31Z

I'm the blogmouth who keeps talkin' about peoples' needs for privacy, and the boundary
inbetweens the right to discuss private matters in the open, and/or preferring to
sponsor an integrity necessity, because...lots of things can happen when gag orders
and "we keep this here"* stuff come up! This is soooo difficult! So, this evening, I will
discuss something called "Oh my Goodness! She's beautiful"...! and "Oh my Goodness!
He's gorgeous!"...ready?
Oprah-adorable, even with brittle faces that difficulties and losing weight can bring.
how do I know?.....I know!
Jennifer Anniston-her eyes are so focussed on whatever she may be going through,
and her freedom is obvious because "she may not be smiling!!!!"
Britney Speares-This is one woman who is gorgeous. I am old enough to be her mother,
but I know neither...I saw an interview many years ago, and she was
very candid, as a teenager. The woman is a grown adult, and as it
seems, she has much more to do than say "cheese" for the camera!
Cindy Crawford-Where has she been lately? I can see her beauty mark like Marilyn's!
But I don't see her! When I saw her on an interview, she was mainly
focussed on the movie she was doin', and her expressions went
along with her descriptions, etcetera....
and finally:
Nicole Kidman-Come on, guys! Grow up! This is one of the most beautiful women in
the world. I'll never forget her when she was first involved in
her split from Tom Cruise. She ent right to the camera,and talke
about how much pain she was going through and then she went
to her mother and left.....
The men are not really my art......I have very little romantic fortunes, and sometimes,
I may sense "cute" or "handsome", and other times I may just hurt him....so I'll pass
on those "guys with no expressions"!!!At least none that I can dig on.
And I also have a family of two adult sisters....a beautiful mom..and many other
relatives who would split my life seriously if I ever gave away...you know....private issues.
Welp, I'm having fun doing this column, but it's time to say "Goodbye".
Sincerely, Reisa L. Gerber

Hey! Your Loss on An Incredible Review, Guys! by Reisa L. Gerber

2006-01-28T03:53:28Z

Inside the heart and mind of every actor is the desire to succeed. About ten minutes ago, I
completed a total resume of my acting career as a child, spanning eight years old to seventeen!
I was blown away like a tornado or something! It's okay. I actually was a performer in a
Gong show once....and I got GONGED!! I guess, like that country song I heard on the Radio,
"I Wanna Talk About Me!" Who really cares about the High School/P.T.A. performances, or
my sitting in as a substitute for the music cue in Camelot in tenth or eleventh grade aint as
interesting as stuff, you know?
However, about two years ago, up in Middletown, N.Y., me and a gang of us in a social
group did a Mental Health Play actually understandable by the layman, on "The Wizard of Oz"-
I wrote my own part as introducer.....and we played Dorothy as a woman who had a
so-called "schizophtrenic" fantasy....the story of the Scarecrow, the Lion, The Tinman, and
Dorothy...Glinda, the good witch....and in the end, the Great Wizard became an informer to
those of us with issues, and recommended places to stay, places to work, where to buy
a cheap car instead of Medicaid Taxis....of yellow and green, towering over your head, Lucy!!!
Just felt like checkin' in today....Everyday can't bring a dozen roses!

Early Divorces and How Celebrities cope (gives people like me much help!!!)

2006-01-23T12:54:25Z

The first serious breakup I had, except for Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton,
given much thought to, was Tom and Nicole. They have two kids between them,
and they seemed to have it all....but that's their business, right? Just an
observation! But then, Jennifer Anniston and Brad Pitt ditched another nearly
five, six, whatever, long marriage....and I saw these people in the spotlight with
so much pain, ya' know? Of course, the epitomy of all Famous Divorces, although
not so necessarily early on into the marriage, was Princess Diana and Prince
Charles...I don't personally interrupt relationships, good or bad...the jilted one
no longer likes me, that's why! And President Clinton REALLY WAS A BIT WILD!!!
My mother's upset with this...she says, "This stuff is private and personal...mind your
own business!!" But I will say one more thing-I actually had a little diamond once,
from someone we'll call "old stevie h." But, being fifty and single all your life...
can be a drag....Shinin' on in with a little something, so as not to feel so bad!
And then...you're talkin' feminist or what? We're all people...it's just that "some are
boys and some are girls..."
p.s. congratulations to Sir Elton John on his recent marriage.

Matt From Boy Meets Boy

2006-01-21T18:52:42Z

I have 2 actual Gossip items:

-Matt from Boy Meets Boy (the one who rejected James in the golf cart, heh) lives in SF now and has been prowling the gay.com San Francisco chat rooms *constantly*. He is 6'5" and claims to be a "Top". He was also at my friend's New Year's party so I know it's him.

-Also: A friend of mine blew Randy Jackson from American Idol in a porno bookstore in the Mission District.

Discuss.

The Colored Pictures that Made My Holidays....As famous as Can Be

2006-01-20T22:15:23Z

I said to my nephew, "Is that Flower Drumsong?" He said, "I made that in 1991"
I said, "When did you make the marine in his red, white and blue camoflage?"
He said, "Same old year, Aunt Rei..."
I said, "I know you made the goofy dude with its little "Cool" remark" and
I know that deep psychadelic pink was fingerpainted, right? I think"-
I said, "God, Lee, the slanted eyes and the sari represent a picture I could not do,
even to this day!".....and I'm embarassed to have to say, that...
"Red is a nice, bright color, and green is a pretty sight.
Yellow is too, and so is blue, but everything fades to white! Right?
For "white are the clouds, blue is the sky, Raindrops fall..as we go passing bye!"
with my umbrella, the sun is yellow, but everything fades to white!"-
Someday, if I keep this gossip and fun column, I will try to have a six year old's
pictures printed in The Tribe....You can make someone famous and talk about his
gaw--------jess talents! Nepotism was always fun...to Lee at Princeton...
Love, your Auunt Reisa

okay I didn't mean to alarm you, BUT, I went to search for the Pam Anderson tribe. I was fairly horned up at the time and just needed a good pic of Pam to get my fix ya know. But, guess what ???? There is NO tribe for Pam!!! So, I started one. Please join and worship. I mean, she is a NICE person to boot. So, if you like her you now have a safe place to go.
And, yes, the tribe does include that magnificent exclamation point on the end. PAM ANDERSON!

Cuckoo Birds Can Sometimes be Understood!

2006-01-12T06:56:13Z

Everywhere you go, yellow, yellow, yellow!
That's what the cuckoo bird kept on saying!
He said, "I know enough about my baby to make her
yellow"! and he said it three times, baby-
yellow, yellow, yellow!
Okay. I figured sometime I could see some moviestar's
little kid doin' shiny sparkles on top of the yellow,
and like Bruce Springsteen said, "In Vietnam", they're gonna
"do him in" because he's the yellow man. But I was born in
the U.S.A., where we wonder...crazy for the blue, white,red
and YELLOW! That comes from a generation ago, right?
The show "Hair"! Where did this Yellow come from?

I secretly have this thing for Country Radio....pickin' wildflowers and all the
legacy that Joni left us. She sings "Call me at the station,the lines are open."
And then, of course, "Nights in the City"-"How colors go flashhin' in time!"
And then, Jim Morrison, "Land Ho"-, If I get my hands on a number two,
I'll come back home and marry you! or "if he get my hands on a number five,
I'll skin that little girl alive!" Gee, it's interesting....then Madonna kinda loves
to "dance with her baby", and tells the deejay to: WHAT?
"Hey, Mr. deejay, go to hell! I wanna dance to my baby!" That's okay too!
"I hear that"< i.e. deejay 107.9! And his little audience involvement.
"Hey! Quit hanging up on people! SOmeone will hang up on you!"
But it won't be me! Noone answers when i call.....Pickin' wild flowers!

A Miracle For New Years and a Lesson! Reisa L. Gerber

2006-01-01T16:51:10Z

I am learning how to "leave a net" and "leave a person" and "let it be"-
shining in the sun of Florida, where I live! I have a gossip column that I
am trying to do once a week or two...I had four or five columns, about
Britney Spears, Tom and Kate, Faith Hill, Family integrity, a dyin' poet
with Cancer, and I felt happy to feel accepted...People should always
not be with someone, even sometimes, when they don't "care about them"
because it's so embarassing....A New Years wish for everyone-
Be where it feels good and feel good-
Happy New Years!!!!

for this crappy tribe?

Entertainment Hollywood, E!, People Magazine?
Scientology, Universal Studios.....

Who are all the ? people
why don't they have friends?
are they really people, or just dummy personas
to get the enrollment?

If you truely joined this tribe for what it has to offer, you need to ask yourself why. Then maybe get off your computer go outside and see the real world, no not the MtV show you've been programmed to assosiate with.... I'm talking about real physical people, oxygen, sun, wind, trees, animals....
