Letters

I was just sitting here watching Family Jewels and I felt the desire to write and let Gene know how very surprised I was by his family life when I first started to watch the show. I guess you get this idea in your head of who you think people are and how they might be in the reality of their life away from what they do, such as being in a rock band. I have to tell you that I am moved every time I watch your show. I love the way you all love each other and it seems to me that you are just pretty average kind of family, except for the whole rock star thing. I had no idea that you and Shannon were together and had been for so long or that you had these great kids. I don't follow such things much but I just want to let you know that I am thankful to you for letting us in your life just a bit and sharing your family. You are at once funny and touching. I really just want to say thank you for sharing a bit of your family with us.
