For the past week, the Number One Search Phrase on the Worleygig.com stats page is “Paris Hilton in Gail” followed closely by “Paris Hilton and Gail” and is “Why is Paris Hilton in Gail” (why indeed?). When I first noticed this phenomenon I wondered to myself if Paris Hilton has a famous friend named Gail or if the populace had just gotten wind of a previous blog I posted about LA Rock band The Exies’ campaign to get that heiress of questionable mental capacity thrown in jail. Then I experienced an epiphany: obviously there is a whole population of morons with the knowledge of how to use Google who think that the word “jail” is spelled with a ‘g’ rather than a ‘j’! Exciting! Thanks to all you idiots out there for pumping up traffic to the site! Keep on keepin’ on!
A few years ago I was reading a great article about Neal Smith of Alice Cooper – one of my favorite Drummers – in Discoveries magazine. I loved the article, so I bought the magazine. Within a few days I was playing a show -and that is where I met Gail! I asked her “Are you THE Gail Worley who recently wrote an article on Neal Smith?” She said she was, and we've been friends ever since. I consider myself a friend / fan / stalker of Gail! But wait a minute – who stalked who? That is the magic of Gail Worley!
What can I say that hasn’t already been said?! Gail is a consummate pro and infinitely gifted rock journalist. I will continue to wait patiently for her to lower her standards and grant me an interview!
Gail, you simply fucking rock! I love your piece for my book (Tour: Smart) in the section on Press and Publicity – your “Pet Peeves and How to Avoid Them” shreds any fence sitting and bestows some priceless advice – THANKS!
