I've only just seen the great news. That's so good to hear.

Great news. Three cheers are in order. If I could bake or had the wherewithall to learn you would have a big kick-ass cake on the way.

Let me tell you, I´m so happy you´re good.

I myself had possibility of belly cancer (doctors said it could be that what causes my rather long illness)...it was a horrible thought. Actually, I thought I´d shoot myself, if I had it. I'm afraid I couldn´t fight it, if it was lethal version.

There´s this lovely short sci-fi story about time travels...how people see future...and then they commit suicide. Simply because the "adventure of life" is gone. I wish you at least 30 more years of adventuring!

I wish you at least 30 more years of adventuring!

I was rather hoping for at least 40, to tell you the truth.

I was rather hoping for at least 40, to tell you the truth.

When talking with my friends about doing healthy things for longevity, I always say that I would do them
if it meant adding 10 years-but I want them retroactive to when I was 27 or so!!

Mr. Chevron, according to Mr. Woods interview posted elsewhere, it appears you will be coming over in March!! Great news. We missed you once in Boston back in 87 (although your replacement wasn't bad and
we are all thrilled that you are healthy enough to be back on stage.

Brilliant news. "Disease-free" AND your hearing back. Congratulations. The news we've all been waiting to hear.

AT LEAST 50 or nothing, Big Fella!

Great news. Sorry I've not responded before this.... YAY!

We are all thrilled that you are healthy enough to be back on stage.

Who could say it better? You must be looking forward to it like crazy. Super news.
