My name is Frances D. <br />I just don't like people on the internet saying bad things about Steve Perry he will always be a Great Singer, Songwriter and Composer in my heart. I love his singing and he is very generous and a very kind person.<br />Honestly, NO ONE LOOKS GREAT when they get older unless they have Plastic Surgery or color their hair and are constantly losing weight to look good. Let Steve Perry be himself. Steve Perry doesn't owe the public People anything at all. I have been his Loyal Fan for 40 years. <br />Frances De Silvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11471805309621207376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3713030349047688542.post-58992907994517690082022-03-17T23:03:58.839-05:002022-03-17T23:03:58.839-05:00Big fan myself and I am absolutely fine with how h...Big fan myself and I am absolutely fine with how he looks!

Everyone when they get older shows their age from wrinkles and people gain weight. It is normal to look that way.<br />I don't care what Steve Perry looks like on the outside what matters to me is that Steve Perry has a really kind and generous person. He gave away his Mercedes 450 SL Convertible Car to a Charity Organization in September of 2021. Steve is very intelligent, loving, caring, and a hard working singer, songwriter and composer. Steve is 73 years old now. Steve should be retired now. Most people retired at age 65. Not Steve Perry. But I still think he looks good and he has a gentle and kind soul. I have been a Steve Perry Fan since I was 16 years old. I would listen to Journey songs on the radio and I have his Greatest Hits CD from Journey and also I have Steve Perry's Solo CD with his Greatest Hits like Oh Sherrie, Foolish Heart, and Missing YOu. I have been Steve Perr's fan for several years now. I love his music and I also love Steve Perry's Character. He is a an Amazing singer and song writer.Frances De Silvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11471805309621207376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3713030349047688542.post-18337951751379276462022-03-16T21:28:51.498-05:002022-03-16T21:28:51.498-05:00I will say though, as worn out as he was, and as m...I will say though, as worn out as he was, and as much as I love him - I wish he would put out some of that music he says he has ready to go!BetteJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11650981249204116251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3713030349047688542.post-88717653297333774472022-03-16T12:43:01.158-05:002022-03-16T12:43:01.158-05:00He also has had major hip surgery and multiple ser...He also has had major hip surgery and multiple serious upper respiratory infections and still toured.

She huffed and puffed a lot for every person running, while I giggled and giggled. His name was StickyStickyStumbaNoSarumbaHoddyBoddyBoscoIckanonNoannonConaRanaTumba, and his brother's name was Pip. Pip had to make do with a short name, because all the good ones were taken. But anyways, believe it or not, a couple of years later Pip fell into the EXACT SAME WELL, but they got to him in time, because the king found out about it earlier.Harriet Koschohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02342844702983397540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3713030349047688542.post-36335353947967530512019-12-19T17:08:36.023-06:002019-12-19T17:08:36.023-06:00I fell in love with Sticky Sticky Stumbo as well a...I fell in love with Sticky Sticky Stumbo as well as a child.

I vividly remembered the story my dad would read to us from a volume / compendium of children's stories (I could recite verbatim the name of the boy by memory even after a T.B.I.). Months ago I googled the name of the story and was mislead to an updated politically correct story call "Tiki Tiki Tembo" which did not contain the original poetic name and moral ending. After receiving the book "Tiki Tiki Tembo" and to my disappointment, I knew immediately it was not the same story that we insisted that my dad read as much as possible. So, I googled again and found your site which lead me to the book containing the original story. I returned the updated version entitled "Tiki Tiki Tembo" and I ordered the book "Big and Little Creatures." You are absolutely right that "politically correct editing" has done our our society a great disservice (to say the least). Thank you very much! Regards, Gordon C. P.S. - In addition, to the book "Big and Little Creatures," I believe the story might be in another compilation of children's stories, however, the name of the compilation escapes me and I do not have the time for any more research on the subject.

I remember Kim wishing he had a long name like the others and one day Sticky Sticky Stembo etc. fell in the well and Kim saved him and they rewarded him with a long name that ended as ...<br />"Suki ah Suki em instead of little Kim".<br /> The other one that everyone remembers is the name of the kid that fell in the well as it was repeated several times. Kim's new name only once at the end.

It is unlike our current society, where we fail to learn from our mistakes; and so, we keep repeating them over and over again.<br /><br />FYI- I still have the "Big & Little Creatures" book which my parents gave me when I was a "wee lad."<br /><br />In case you didn't know, this also makes for a great joke if you are telling stories in the bar or at work. Trying to recite "Sticky sticky stumbo..." is a little bit harder after a beer or two. <br />So name you child Fred or something else that is short and single syllable and perhaps "Fred" will live longer. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3713030349047688542.post-57897929486776007962017-06-28T20:32:26.520-05:002017-06-28T20:32:26.520-05:00The Boy With A Long Name Has Been Told In My Famil...The Boy With A Long Name Has Been Told In My Family For Over 40yrs...
