| Going to put my tuppence worth in at the risk of being shot down in flames. I don't think the reasoning behind wanting to see the photo is necessarily creepiness probably just curiousity. However, even though Fran mentions Clay in his live shows and interviews and wrote My Eyes about him, it's worth remembering that Clay's mother Nora who does not court publicity, perhaps does not feel comfortable with the idea of her son's picture being publicised. And as a mother, that is her prerogative. Either way it's their decision to make. |

Like I said...either way Fran decides is his business. Personally, I probably wouldn't want my child's face plastered all over the Internet but obviously Fran is OK with showing fans pictures of Clay after shows so he's probably a proud Papa!
PLUS he wrote a damn song about him that's on the album, so it's natural for people to be interested. |

I don't know what has happened here, I just tried replying to Nikki and I seem to have your message as well as mine, do you get what I mean!!!
I agree with you, this thing has been blown out of proportion. No-one is forcing him to show pics of Clay. If he wants to show pics to the fans, very well. Chill people!

It's Nora and Fran's business if they want pictures of Clay in the press and it seems fairly clear that they don't and quite rightly want to shield him from any intrusion.
The fact that people think that Fran's personal life is part and parcel of Travis and it's not unreasonable to be privy to it just because you're a 'Travis fan' is quite frankly worrying
We KNOW it's their personal life, but if it's that personal then why is Fran always telling us about him and as a fan it's natural to want to see this stuff we don't want to drool over him just see a pic and that be it
Who is "we"?! I'm a Travis fan, and I'll be honest, I have no interest in seeing the kid's pics, finding out what his first word was, or if he's walking.
I agree with Andrew..I never understood this obsession people have with gfs/wives/kids of musicians! |

oh god .. calm the beans..
its not creepy. its natural curiousity.. leave the poor guy/girl alone.
that being said its only right that its up to a parent to shelter a child from something they dont want to expose them to.
but gee.. dont make something out of nothing. |
