I AM WRITING THIS FOR ALL TO READ , WEATHER THEY AGREE OR DIASAGREE WITH WHAT I HAVE TO SAY.
I'VE READ ROCKERS BOOK, AND ALTHOUGH IT DOESN'T SPEAK FOR EVERY GAYLORD IN OUR NATION , IT SPEAKS FOR THE ONES THAT WENT THROUGH HIS STORY.
YES, THERE WERE GAYLORDS IN THE 70'S THAT WENT THROUGH THEIR TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS, AND I GRIEVE FOR THEM AND AM SORRY FOR THEIR LOSSES.
BUT, THIS BOOK TAKES PLACES IN THE 80'S. THIS TIME FRAME WAS DIFFERENT THAN THE YEARS PAST. MAYBE BATTLES WERE FOUGHT IN A DIFFERENT WAYS AT THIS TIME AS WELL, BUT IT WAS STILL A WAR.
I FEEL THAT THESE KIDS.( I CHOOSE TO CALL THEM MEN) WERE IN DEED FIGHTING FOR WHAT THEIR WAY OF LIFE PROVIDED THEM, AND WHAT I MEAN BY THIS IS WHEN THEY LEFT THE STREET AND WENT INTO THEIR HOMES, AND SAW THEIR MOTHERS COOKING , OR HELPING WITH THE CHILD'S HOMEWORK, HAVING FAMILY DINNERS, CELEBRATING A BIRTHDAY PARTY, OR JUST WATCHING T.V. IT WAS THEIR WAY OF LIFE.
SOMETHING THAT THEY CHERISHED.
WHEN THEY SAW A THREAT TO THIS THEY WENT TO THE STREETS AND ACTED ON WHAT THEY WHOLE HEARTEDLY BELIEVED WAS SOMETHING THAT WOULD BREAK THEIR FAMILY APART.
EVENTUALLY, THE NEIGHBORHOOD DID CHANGE, FACES CHANGED AND PEOPLE CHANGED. THE FRIENDS THAT LIVED IN THE HOUSES THAT YOU WERE SO USED TO VISITING ALL THE TIME DON'T LIVE THERE ANYMORE. THE STREETS SEEM TO CHANGE MORE AND MORE AS THE DAYS WENT BY. OUR HOOD ISN'T THE HOOD WE ONCE KNEW, IT HAS CHANGED, IT HAS GONE WITH THE TIMES TO SOME OTHER PLACE IN SOMEONE ELSE'S TIME.
WE SO CHERISHED OUR GRADUATIONS, HOMECOMINGS, WEDDINGS AND EVERY JOYFUL EVENT IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD THAT WE COULD REMEMBER. THEY WERE JOYFUL AND WONDERFUL EVENTS. BUT AS THE BIRTH PAINS OF THE HOOD STARTED SO DID THE REALIZATION THAT THIS WASN'T THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT WE ONCE KNEW. THE CHANGES STARTED TO TAKE PLACE. OUR FAMILY WAS GONE, THE FACES CHANGED, THE PEOPLE WERE DIFFERENT, OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY ...WE'RE GONE.
AS MUCH AS WE WANT TO HANG ON TO THE PAST, WE DON'T CONTROL TIME.
FOR THIS I WOULD LIKE THANK THE AUTHOR OF "LORDS OF LAWNDALE" FOR GIVING US THE FEW MOMENTS IN TIME BACK, TO THE PLACE THAT WE CHERISHED THE MOST. "LAWNDALE'' MY HOME , OUR HOME, TO THE PLACE THAT I CAN ONLY DRIVE PAST TODAY AND SAY..."THIS WAS MY HOME, THIS IS WHERE I GRADUATED,THIS IS WHERE I HAD MY WEDDING, THIS IS WHERE I KISSED MY FIRST LOVE, THIS IS WHERE MY FRIENDS DIED.
THIS IS "LAWNDALE"
GOD BLESS OUR FAMILY, OUR FRIENDS AND I WOULD LIKE TO THANK GOD FOR BEING WITH US AT EVERY MOMENT IN TIME IN OUR TIRALS AND TRIBULATIONS.
MAY HE BLESS THE FALLED ON ALL SIDES AND MAY WE FIND A PEACEFUL SOLUTION TO OUR WAY OF LIFE FOR ALL.
ALMIGHTY GAYLORDS NATION ALWAYS
AND FOREVER,...AND TO EVERYONE ELSE....
PEACE BE WITH YOU.
GOD BLESS ALL MY BROTHERS
