KNOXVILLE E-MAILS

dear rupaul, i just wanted to let you know that i was listening to electric 94.9 on my way home this morning and heard your interview. i was surprised that you didn't want to talk about any of the wonderful performances they were talking about, and how rude you were by saying"i'm so much more interesting...go read my web page" to every question or comment they made. i read your log for today, and didn't really get anything from it. however, i did read some of your other logs (for previous days) and did find some of them interesting. i think you are a very interesting person, and will recommend your page to others to look at. i just wanted to let you know (my opinion) that if you didn't want to do the interview, then you should have just told them you were too tired to do so, intead of just making snide remarks. thank you for your time, amanda

Please honey... better than a washed up old drag queen who doesn't know when to hang up the feather boa. It was obvious you PRIDED yourself on being a catty bitch on the air with us. All we wanted to do was create a point of reference for the listeners who may have remembered you from the ONE mid-chart hit you had for 5 minutes a decade ago. I will say though, it gave our mediocre morning show something to talk about Friday morning instead of the weather and the hog prices at the farmer's market. I mean, WOW... reading from the weblog that you think there are too many cars in L.A. is some of the most riveting view minutes Knoxville radio listeners have ever experienced. I am SO glad you suggested your website as the reason to interview you. By the way.. I heard that you did a 49 minute version of "Supermodel" at your show. Sweetie, even Billy Ray Cyrus moved on from of "My Achy Breaky Heart" after the front row fell asleep.

Otherwise, it was a pleasure and I hope your stay in Knoxville was fun.

p.s. I am glad to report that the"broadcasting school graduate voice that has singlehandedly ruined mainstream radio" earned me $210,000 last year. As Joey Tribiani says, "how YOU doin'?"



I live in Knoxville,TN and on the way to school I was listening to the radio and I heard your interview and they did not give you ANY respect you needed,usually there OK but this time they went over board,You have really impressed me!Thanks!

P.S. I hope you had a nice time in Tennessee!!



Thank you so much for the great performance last night here in knoxville. I also wanted to say that I listened to your interview on the radio Friday morning, and I want to apologize for knoxville. I thought that the dejays were incredibly rude and that all they were interested in was talking about your most famous song. The call-ins were equally as rude. I want you to know that they do not represent the way others feel about your work and the incredible person that you are. You have been a wonderful example of what someone can do with their life. The show was an incredible experience for me and I was lucky enough to have had the VIP ticket so that I could be close to the stage. Thank you so much for coming to knoxville and thank you for being just who you are without pretense. I hope to catch you again somewhere and I will be reading your weblog which i enjoy very much.

Thanks again

Ru,
Hey how are you doing? My name is Amanda and I am from Knoxville, TN. I would first like to say that I went to your show last night and I had a great time! I can honestly tell you that I have never been exposed to that type of atmosphere ever before in my life, so last night was my first time. What I mean by that is...I have never been in a place where a bunch of queens, homosexual people, straight, and couples were all together in one place. I am glad I decided to go and experience that and experience you last night because for me...it was like maybe a once in a lifetime opportunity to go see you in person.
Anyway, I just wanted to say that I think what you do and the encouragement you give people is great. Speaking for everyone in Knoxville that attended we had a blast! I wish you the best of luck in the future and hope you come back soon!

Amanda

Dear Ru,
You are everything I imagined and more in person! I finally got a chance to see you live at your show in Tennesse and you even brought me on stage. I had just arrived, like a few mins. into the show, after getting lost and trying to find the establishment and as soon as I walked through the club doors I see you on stage and then it hit me, I made it! I'm finally here, I get to see Ru. Little did I know that I was in for the best night ever. I was so shocked once you mentioned my name, " Is Rigo from atlanta here?" It didin't register at first, not until my friend started screaming "yeah, right here!" then I went crazy too and started jumpimg up and down as you called me on stage. As you could tell I was so excited that I was shaking, I couldn't even gather my thoughts and speak on the mic when you asked me a question. All I knew was that I was next to you, holding your hand, and that made me feel so special. I definately felt your energy and love around me. Thank you so much for acknowlaging me and letting me be a part of your show. I'm anticipating your next performance where I can come and see you again.

love ya lots Ru,
your papi latino, RIGO!
