dear marty, hi!
i am one of your biggest fans in jakarta, indonesia. it\'s just too bad that you couldnt come to jakarta. me and my brother and my friends have been waiting for you for long time to watch you play LIVE in front of us. We\'ve bought the tickets 2 weeks before the show, but then you cancelled it.
I just hope that you can come to jakarta soon, cause we really want to watch you play.
Dont you know that I really admire your former band, Megadeth! I like the way you play the melodies with your guitar!! You are really blessed with that talent!
PLEASE come to jakarta. i know US issued the travel warning and I hate this situation. Why should politic makes all messed up!!!
I just want you to know that your fans in jakarta will always wait for your show here cause we love Marty Friedman!!

Your fans from jakarta,
DERBY

Hi Derby, Thanks for your mail and also thanks to the MANY MANY people who sent mails to the site about the Indonesia clinics. Most of the mails were very supportive and some were just angry that I didn't show up despite all the other artists that ignored US travel warnings to go there. I totally understand your sentiment and it is a shame what happened. But please don't mistake an artist's foolishly ignoring govenment warnings for appreciating you fans any more than an artist who follows the advice of his government. As far as I'm concerned, disregarding that kind of warning in this time of religious and political unrest is just plain foolish.
I look forward to playing for all of you and especially meeting you as soon as possible!
