it has been said that cd&l broke up because of my meth use and that jd was booted out because of his dependency on pain killers. thats total bullshit and it pisses me off that anyone would even think that. it has been well written about why jd left cd&l and why we all disbanded. for those who have stuck with, we love you all. for those of you who need an explanation, read our blogs. for those of you who judge us based on rumors, well i guess you can kiss our asses. Im fine, working it day by day. jd is fine. if you saw the scar left by the hole in his gut you would say man take another pill. to his credit he takes about a fourth of what the drs. tell him to. the guy is tougher than anyone ive ever met. jimmy as far as i know has no hang ups at all. he does his own thing and goes home to his family.
so thats all i have to say. we love all of you that has stood by us through thick and thin. if any of you have questions for any of us please email us here on fuzz or leave a comment. i promise we will be nothing but honest with you.

hey, we will see all of you real soon. we are criss crossing the u.s. and canada dont miss us. peace-david wallace]]> Sat, 12 Apr 2008 15:08:21 -0700 http://joeldavidandlonesomefugitive.fuzz.com/blog/entry/rumors-they-are-a-flying http://joeldavidandlonesomefugitive.fuzz.com/blog/entry/howdy-yall http://joeldavidandlonesomefugitive.fuzz.com/blog/entry/howdy-yall#comments Fri, 11 Apr 2008 17:49:06 -0700 http://joeldavidandlonesomefugitive.fuzz.com/blog/entry/howdy-yall http://joeldavidandlonesomefugitive.fuzz.com/blog/entry/just-back-from-cali http://joeldavidandlonesomefugitive.fuzz.com/blog/entry/just-back-from-cali#comments man, me dave and jimmy had such a blast in cali. we actually went into the studio and recorded a few rocking tunes that will one day be released in our other bands name "dead mans ballet" it a much harded sound but it soothes the beasts in us.

my health is great, feeling better every day thanks to the drs and my family and good friends.
until we see you out there somewhere-jd]]> Fri, 04 Apr 2008 17:02:44 -0700 http://joeldavidandlonesomefugitive.fuzz.com/blog/entry/just-back-from-cali http://joeldavidandlonesomefugitive.fuzz.com/blog/entry/coming-clean-on-getting-clean http://joeldavidandlonesomefugitive.fuzz.com/blog/entry/coming-clean-on-getting-clean#comments
ive been battling the disease of addiction for the past year and, thank god and good friends and bros like jimmy and jd, ive finally given up the intoxicants that riddled my life for so long.
dont let anybody tell you that with fame (or what we call it) doesnt bring access and excess.
i started with booze and moved to pain killers after brians back surgery. from there i moved to meth. thats definately a big fuckin' monkey to have on your back...
how did i kick the dragon? i saw my best friend(jd) almost die. i heard his words and what he thought was his dying request of me. i quit cd &l, went back home and finally to jds. I did out patient treatment (thanks dr. morris and all)and now im living day by day. the funny thing is i dont miss the junk. after the body cravings i had and with drawels, i lost my taste for it. thank god.
many thanks to all who have prayed for me and to those whom ive hurt with my bullshit, im sorry. please give me a chance to make it up to all of you. im a new man with a new plan and i have good people around me. i know that with their support i can remain on the wagon and continue to defeat this disease.
jd wrote a song while he was in the hospital. it was about me and one of my slips. i just finished writing the music for it and i must say that it is great. his lyrics are amazing. its so funny to me how he can put things so simple and so profound at the same time. any the song is called " accident" and im going to leave the lyrics on this blog. please read it. if out there using-stop. want to stop. find someone to help you find your way. i promise you that there is someone out there who cares for you and wants you to live-sober.
thanks again and god bless-david wallace. "accident" words by jd suttles, music by david wallace property of granny lou records

dont give up
it takes a while
i have seen this look before
its alright, you are not alone
if you dont love this anymore.
stop
i hear that you slipped again
im here cause i know you'll need a friend
you know that accidents can happen
and its ok we all fall off the wagon sometimes
its not your whole life
its only one day
you havent thrown it all away
take some time
learn to breath
and remember what it means
to feel alive
to believe
theres something more than what you see
i know theres a price for this
but some things in life you must resist
you know that accidents can happen
and its ok we all fall off the wagon sometimes
its not your whole life
its only one day
you havent thrown everything away
dont give up
it takes a while
believe me
there is people who love your smile
if you dont love this anymore
stop.

thanks jd, i love you dude. you are truelly my brother and i really appreciate you and your wisdom]]> Fri, 21 Mar 2008 14:56:01 -0700 http://joeldavidandlonesomefugitive.fuzz.com/blog/entry/coming-clean-on-getting-clean http://joeldavidandlonesomefugitive.fuzz.com/blog/entry/more-thank-yous http://joeldavidandlonesomefugitive.fuzz.com/blog/entry/more-thank-yous#comments a quick shout out to j.r. at harrah's casino in cherokee nc. man, youre a true friend and i thank you for that. cant wait to jam with your son.
health update-im feeling soooo much better. see the dr. tomorrow and im expecting a good report. thanks for the cards and letters, prayers and thoughts.

wendy-ya know i love ya dont ya. one day i promise]]> Wed, 19 Mar 2008 14:06:43 -0700 http://joeldavidandlonesomefugitive.fuzz.com/blog/entry/more-thank-yous http://joeldavidandlonesomefugitive.fuzz.com/blog/entry/my-insperation http://joeldavidandlonesomefugitive.fuzz.com/blog/entry/my-insperation#comments my kids are a huge insperation to me. richard, ryan and victoria are super special kids with all the brains, charm, beauty and wit as their old man!
i guess the final insperation i can think of right now is a young lady named wendy b. potter. she amazes me. there has never been a time when i saw her that my breath wasnt lost, and ive known her for over 35 years. she is simply the perfect woman and i love her madly. she loves me too, but shes to stubborn to admit it (just another thing i love about her) she has a beautiful young daughter, a stressfull job, a HUGE morgage pmt. and she still smiles her baby doll smile. if i could just be more like her.
well, my health is getting better every day and it wont be long before me and the boys will be doing it for real-cant wait!
dave and jimmy came down yesterday and we went out on the boat. it seems that cd&l is almost defunct. oh well, i was the star of that show anyway-ha ha. thanks to every one for everything catch ya real soon-jd]]> Mon, 17 Mar 2008 18:38:25 -0700 http://joeldavidandlonesomefugitive.fuzz.com/blog/entry/my-insperation http://joeldavidandlonesomefugitive.fuzz.com/blog/entry/hey-there-yall http://joeldavidandlonesomefugitive.fuzz.com/blog/entry/hey-there-yall#comments i've met some real good people in the last few weeks. alot of them have joined our fan club. i would like to thank them. it means alot to us to know that people out there dig what we're doin'.
jessica at nortons-hope you and baby boy are doing great, if ya need anything ya got my number. nortons in general-what a great gang. check 'em out in east asheville, its a great time. i've become the king of karaoke there! (only way to get my fix) jenny and ashly-it was great meeting you and hanging out with you. jen-you dance so funny!! yu both have beautiful voices. nurses at the haywood er-thanks for not sticking me to many times with those needles! Drs. at the same joint-thanks for relieving my fears and the shot of pain killer. made my knees buckle but took all my pains away.
thanks to my band mates and brothers for hangin' in there and waiting for me. you know you guys could be playing right now to sold out veniews. i love you guys. thanks to our mngs. john, don and big t-you guys rock.
thanks to all of you from the bottom of my heart (my pain medicine makes me so sentimentle!)

god bless and keep you all. wendy beula ya know i love ya and baby girl!]]> Sat, 08 Mar 2008 14:46:25 -0800 http://joeldavidandlonesomefugitive.fuzz.com/blog/entry/hey-there-yall http://joeldavidandlonesomefugitive.fuzz.com/blog/entry/just-saying-hello http://joeldavidandlonesomefugitive.fuzz.com/blog/entry/just-saying-hello#comments anyway, we are all doing good. jd is recovering so fast its a miracle. he did an impromptu accoustic gig last night and i hear it went off well. eli and j.young are busy writing more material for our next cd and jimmy and me are on the road with cole and the boys. the tour is going great. jd and cole finally made peace and can be in the same area code with one another. i wish those guys could be friends, but it wont happen. i love both of them but my loyalty lies with jd. hes my bro.
well guess ill close for now, think jd is planning on a blurb a little later. think hes laid up with a chick from the show last night-thats my boy!
god bless you all and keep you safe and rocking-dave]]> Sun, 02 Mar 2008 16:39:27 -0800 http://joeldavidandlonesomefugitive.fuzz.com/blog/entry/just-saying-hello http://joeldavidandlonesomefugitive.fuzz.com/blog/entry/the-mike-and-mike-show http://joeldavidandlonesomefugitive.fuzz.com/blog/entry/the-mike-and-mike-show#comments we're not going to sit here and toot our own horns with all our past deeds so lets just say that we have been doing this for a few years now and we know what we're doing. we look forward to the spring when we can all get together as a whole and show the world what a band can be. we've started reading our own press and we finally realize that we're fuckin' great-ha ha. really check us out whenever you can and keep in touch always letting us know what you want to hear and see from us. god bless-mike and eli]]> Mon, 18 Feb 2008 14:21:55 -0800 http://joeldavidandlonesomefugitive.fuzz.com/blog/entry/the-mike-and-mike-show http://joeldavidandlonesomefugitive.fuzz.com/blog/entry/great-to-see-my-boy-out-of-the-hospital http://joeldavidandlonesomefugitive.fuzz.com/blog/entry/great-to-see-my-boy-out-of-the-hospital#comments im so glad j is finally getting well again. dont let him fool ya it was touch and go for about 3 days. he was in icu for 6 days with only family 5 min. visits allowed every hour. jimmy and i snuck in one night about midnight and j was out of his head. its funny now but then it scared the shit out of me so bad i got us busted by yellling for the nurse. apparently jds meds were so strong that he was completely out of it in crazy town.
now he is doing great. i talk to him about 2 times a day and he sounds better all the time. he is really excited about the band and our future. i always knew it would be me,jimmy and jd against the world and to add eli and mike as allies makes it that much better.
dont worry about jd getting lazy while recouperating, ive sent him about 20 songs to finish writing. if you guys didnt know it the guy can write the greatest lyrics! one day all of you will know how many songs hes written and sold for pennies that other artist scooped up and recorded. kenny chesney, jason aldean, jake owen, brad paisley, to mention a few. jd never mentions that shit because he thinks he whored his songs out(he did)but we've all did it to survive.
gonna close now but i will see you soon. catch us out with cole, shade and brian in a town near you. thanks for your continued love and suppport. hey jd-put the pill down!!!! love ya, david wallace]]> Sun, 17 Feb 2008 16:50:09 -0800 http://joeldavidandlonesomefugitive.fuzz.com/blog/entry/great-to-see-my-boy-out-of-the-hospital http://joeldavidandlonesomefugitive.fuzz.com/blog/entry/j-d-gets-out-of-hospital-again http://joeldavidandlonesomefugitive.fuzz.com/blog/entry/j-d-gets-out-of-hospital-again#comments Dr. Waters and his staff at Wake Baptist Hosp. did a terrific job and have my deepest gratitude. They treated me like royalty!
Thanks to everyone for their cards and letters and e mails and especially for yur prayers! They all kept God's smile one me!
Everyone is doing fine, Dave and Jimmy are doing their cd&l stuff while Eli and Mikey are kicking it in the great state of Texas. I'm still trying to get the long star boys to contribute to this page with a blog or two and they promise to in the near future. They so lovingly reminded me last night that not everyone can lay around zooming on pain killers. Why not?
Anyway, God bless and keep you all! Keep your eyes out for the cd "small town kid" next month! See in the very near future.

now-the new band. im jacked about it. all of us are so right for each other. the chemistry between the 5 of us is amazing. we each bring somesthing new and fresh and meaningful to the band. i am sure you,john q. publik will enjoy us. our live shows are something to see. jd and dave do their best rock and roll gods rutine to the max including back flips and crowd surfing. eli and mike are the driving THUMP to it all and i can just barely keep up on the keys.

in closing COME SEE US!!!!! you will not be disapointed.]]> Sat, 05 Jan 2008 15:42:11 -0800 http://joeldavidandlonesomefugitive.fuzz.com/blog/entry/its-my-turn-i-guess http://joeldavidandlonesomefugitive.fuzz.com/blog/entry/Im-baaaaaaaaaaaaaack http://joeldavidandlonesomefugitive.fuzz.com/blog/entry/Im-baaaaaaaaaaaaaack#comments It's been a while, hasn't it? Seems like ages for me!
God, I've missed all of you so much! When I left music a little while back, I promised myself that it was for good. I just couldn't take the rejection and heart ache any longer. After being told by your peers and "betters" that "your'e just not good enough boy" for almost 20 years one starts to believe that he's truelly not good enough.
I was tired of the politics of the recording industry and the small pool full of big sharks dressed in thousand dollar suits.
And of course I was shot (another story, another time)Then the topper I was kicked out of my own band!! Fed up, burned out and sick of it all, I came back to Marion, N.C. to lick my nuts.
My mom died, then my nephew 2 months later. Losing them messed with my mind. I was always a momma's boy and she was my biggest fan. She will be missed forever. My nephew, Josh, gave his life in the line of duty as a Old Fort police officer, leaving behind a new wife and an 8 month old baby girl. His death was unfair and I still question God's motive in taking him.

Anyway, my health went into decline until I find myself in the hospital with drs. telling me I would die real soon without "risky" surgery. BOOM! That's all she wrote sports fans. I started making my "last" phone calls and the 4th or 5th was to little David Wallace. The conversation went well. Lo and behold next thing I know there the kid is with his brother Jimmy. Well, you know the rest from Dave's blog.
It's great to be back. My health is improving but the surgery is on for the 16th of this month. PRAY!
If all goes well I will be recovered and ready to rock ya'lls asses in the spring! Dave and Jimmy will be done with their other band by then and along with Eli and Michael WE WILL ROCK YOU AGAIN!!!
I love these guys! David is my fucking hero on guitar and if I could play the keys like Jimbo I would never leave the stage. Eli brings such a hard on bass riff that it's hard not to lose yourself in his riffs. And Michael James Young! What an awesome talent on drums! He is my new drum hero-god. I love the drums, you guys know that, and I seriously never knew my equal on them-Now mikey steps in. Unfucking believable!
As a group we can and will play whatever the fuck we want to! No more record lables telling us what to do! We run the show. You can tell that in the upcoming cd. It's so diverse in its whole. It is definately the best shit I've ever been a part of.
So thats it for now. I think each fugitive will be putting down a blog in the very near future so check 'em out. We will see all of you very very soon. Pinky Promise!! Love ya'll- J.D.]]> Thu, 03 Jan 2008 18:37:21 -0800 http://joeldavidandlonesomefugitive.fuzz.com/blog/entry/Im-baaaaaaaaaaaaaack http://joeldavidandlonesomefugitive.fuzz.com/blog/entry/getting-started http://joeldavidandlonesomefugitive.fuzz.com/blog/entry/getting-started#comments Wed, 02 Jan 2008 19:02:55 -0800 http://joeldavidandlonesomefugitive.fuzz.com/blog/entry/getting-started
