Bush rocks! They are my inspiration for everything! I would not be complete without
            them…my life would not be complete. Bush is present in most of my dreams and they are
            bigger a part of me than anything or anyone.  More than anything, I love them for who they
            are, what they do, and their extreme talents and accomplishments in music.  They deserve
            the highest respect of all, and I am someone who will always show them that respect and
            adoration—no matter how much they may change as they continue to grow.  Bush fills my
            heart with a special kind of love, which no other band could ever accomplish.  I love every-
            thing they do and “every driven word”¹ is like a solution in my heart.
            When I speak of Bush, I mean every single band member: Gavin, Dave, Robin, and Nigel!
            I hope to someday write music as brilliant as Gavin’s music, play my bass guitar as well as
  Dave, and the rest of my hopes apply to all of them—have such musical talent and success
    and such amazing ideas and opinions.  I cannot see how anyone who has ever had the
    privilege of getting to know them could dislike them or disrespect them in any way.
    As far as I know, only one part of their lives has been missing at this point.  That is the part
    where they meet their all-time, biggest, most adoring, most appreciative, and most devoted
    fan—me.²  I think of myself as more than just a fan, as they are so much a part of me, and
    they don’t even know who I am.  However, I do know that they definitely love their fans
    and many very lucky fans have had the chance to meet them—I only wish that one of those
    lucky fans would be me someday.  These four men have created and held such an impact
    on my life and my ultimate dream-come-true would be for them to hear and understand all
    of my feelings for them (or read this).
    I have had so many dreams, during my sleep, about finally meeting Bush.  These dreams
    seem so realistic—and then I wake up and everything is the same as it was before…only
    after each dream, my hopes to meet them grow even stronger.
    Not only am I attracted to each one of them on the inside, but I also find them all very
    attractive on the outside.  They all happen to be very good-looking…in addition to their
    perfect ³ ways.  This is just an extra, insignificant quality about them that creates an
    amazing perspective.  I just think I should include everything about them, and that is the
    only reason why I would even write about their looks.  In my eyes, Gavin, Dave, Robin,
    and Nigel are extremely beautiful people—inside and out.
    There just aren’t any words that exist that can explain my love for Bush.  All I can really do
    is use the words that do exist in my attempt to explain my feelings for them to other people.
    I always pray that someday my dreams will come true and I will finally have my chance to
    meet my true idols.  I have faith that the day will come eventually in my lifetime.

    Special note to Bush - I thank God for your existence and wish the best life for all of you
    in the future.  Keep making such inspirational and meaningful music.
    Your music is more powerful to me than anything.  I love you.

                                  would most-likely be very false.
