A Message from Wilson-2/2/2000 I have been through many many things and situations in my life as a man, and i have both faced and braved many obsticles in my llife as a man. Like Mavis Staples once said, "I've seen a' many bridges in my lifetime and crossed every one of 'em, with no trouble at all. I've seen trials, tribulations, heartaches and pain. Somebody more baby. I'm still melody, and I'm still cool." They call me Melody Cool. As of the last two months, it seems that a small group of people, have been as stupid as to devote their efforts towards trashing me, making fun of my work,hacking my email account. They've shown up at my performences and acted very rude, laughing and booing loudly at the same time. They've even started a "mailing list" that trashes me at no expense. I checked my box one day, and found that I was added to something called "The Wilson Rainway Experence", and I was shocked and appauled at the level of hatred I was exposed to as the posts grew and grew. I performed at "Big Daddys" in Greenville on 1/28/00, and me co-performer Donovan Clay bowed out at the last minute after someone put him on the list. Donovan saw what people were saying about me, then decided that it wouldn't be good for his "career" to be associated with a "living joke" like me. So i flew it solo, only to find my entire show ruined by a large group of cynical heathens, who threw things at me, and screamed obscenites about my wife and daughter. I was hurt. What have I ever done to deserve this living hell ? I get packages of dead dogs in the mail. I get prank phone calls at odd hours of the night. My son has even suffered because of this utter maddness. No one will talk to him at his school, even less than before ! I believe that everyone has a right to express themselves, and i always find my self oppressed and deepressed. Who the hell gave u the right to stop me from being who i am ? I can only take so much. Please stop this walking nightmare. Wilson Rainway
