     I thought I had till at least 11:15 am eastern standard time. I never did understand United Kingdoms time frame on Dup. 😔

    • this shattered my heart in more ways and places than I knew possible

      • I think for me having the two months heads up before it actually closed, made it more difficult to accept it. it’s like when you’re at the threshold of learning how to let go with someone you love who is on their deathbed the stress and heartaches surrounded with that. When it finally does happen, it’s almost like a breath. I don’t know how else to explain it. It just didn’t seem real until it was.

    • Well, I for one am extremely grateful for this site. It is a testament to our community. —ALL HAIL STARTRITE!❤️❤️❤️
      Ps I hope I spelled that right🙃

    • You make a lot of sense, Zazzles, and I completely agree with you. Thank you StarsRite! And to all DU’ers who found their way here ❤️

      Lets rebuild 🙂

    • I thought I had more time, too. I was writing my goodbyes to someone, and then it was all gone.

      • Yeah, I mean, the last time I checked it said two hours and 17 minutes. i’ve been on the site nonstop since I heard the closing was really happening.

    • A sad day for poets and poetry everywhere…

    • Hey Jackie…

      Yes…

      The power went out before expected…

      I thought an hourglass was universal..?

      I mean…

      Ok…

      The clock was based on UK time..?

      I was there when the flip switched…

      I was reading and commenting until
      the end…

      Haven’t slept in a bit…

      Twas quite an ordeal…

      <#3

      • My brother, so good to see you here!!!!❤️❤️❤️ I just, I can’t say it enough. It really didn’t feel real until it was. It is what it is, but you know what, a good part of that heartbeat is living right here in this new site.❤️❤️❤️

    • Nice tribute. Thanks for posting.

    • I went to do a final lap and it was all gone.. it hurts but in the most beautifully tragic way. I’ve done a lot of growing as a writer on DUP. Made lots of connections and friendships there.

      It will always hold a special place in my heart.

      Beautiful tribute, Zazz💞 xx

      • I mean, the good news is a lot of us from there came here and I’m grateful for that, truly grateful. What we had on the underground was rare, unique, and special. ❤️

        Nice to see you Poetic Gawdess ❤️

    • It went down a hour before the timer told me it would. I wanted to be there when it went dark but when I was able to take a break from work to log in…💔

      • Hi Willow, yeah it was shocking I thought I had you know at least two hours left, but I did what I could to get out the goodbyes and I think I got it done for the most part. I’m glad you’re here.
        Jackie ❤️☺️

    • I thought I had two hours so when I logged back on I was sad to see it was gone. Wanted to save some of the final moments. Damn, this sucks.

      • I think we all felt that Nick. I will say that looking over my friends list here a lot of people almost everyone that I have associated with and a few i haven’t, which is always good, are all here☺️ so I’m happy about that
        Jackie ❤️

    • You did this well without having a mic. Nicely done, Damian;))

    • Were you able to hear it on here this time? Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Duende. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • Excellent piece of poetry Damian. Nice work.

      • Thanks so much for reading and listening, and most of all your kind words, Keith. Glad you liked the write my friend. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Angel. Sorry, if the audio didn’t work I need to try and fix it. Glad you enjoyed the words themselves. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • Okay, I’m excited i could actually listen to the audio on this one! It’s a very relatable piece. I think we’ve all been in that headspace a time or two. The constant questioning…solid, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading/listening and for your kind words, Willow. So glad you liked the piece. Actually, when I wrote it, I thought I was just putting down some lyrics per usual. Just some random thoughts, like my late night musings are. After putting it to music with Joey G back in 2000. I realized what it was really about. I had just broken up with my girlfriend at the time. My first real relationship is in certain lines, I could dissect it, but it would take a while. Maybe that could be a chapter in the story of my life, that is currently being written. Never know, stranger things have happened. You always make me ponder my friend, and that’s a good thing. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • hello dearest Damian I had no idea you felt this way sometimes you seem so confident
      you did beautifully at expressing yourself it resonates deeply ❤️I have been in a disconnected state of late this made me cry so much suppression going on I feel it is much like your purgatory… great song

      • Thanks so much for reading/listening and your kind words, Brenda. So glad you connected with the words and liked the song. I felt that way a lot, when I was drinking. I’ve been a different person the last two years because of sobriety. But these events in life made me who I am. I hope things get better my friend, all you can do is keep moving forward. Appreciate you.

    • Many felt this way. As one chapter ends a new one begins. What will you write of these pages one day? 🌼

      • Hi Joe, I’m just so grateful for this new site. All my people are here more are coming a big shout out to Sam for making this possible.❤️

    • Me too… she was something special

      • We can all make this site something special…..I can see it’s growing already.

      • Yeah, she was a special breed. That’s for sure. I only wish we could’ve seen her face at least one time no matter I’m grateful to use Sam for opening up this website to all of us and I believe we will all make this our new home. We already have love you.
        Jackie ❤️❤️❤️

    • hello beautiful one so tenderly and honestly said 💕

      • Crim, I was just feeling the emotions last night when I saw the purple banner being so close to the last few hours I believe it closes at 12 PM tomorrow Eastern standard time. Grateful we’re all here though this place it’s getting better all the time.

    • Beautifully written my dearest Zazzles🩷
      Such a sweet ode— to our Web Mistress,
      I write this comment with tears in my eyes.. we had a hell of a run on the DUP.
      May its legacy live on..
      Here here!
      ~P.G💋

      • I’ve had tears since the announcement, but for today I’m stronger. I guess once it’s final, you could move on.Thank you for coming to visit me today.PG❤️☺️
        Jackie xo

    • We had a strong & welcoming home in her safekeeping. And right now it feels a little like a refugee camp. But this is how we build again. Together. If we maintain the integrity of what we knew, it will live wherever we are

    • I let out a breath on this. Smashing dreams with a wrecking ball. I feel this very much

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Fia. So glad you liked the write my friend. I liked that line as well. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Sounds like it’ll kick you in the gut and make you feel everything. 👍

    • Damian, I felt this in more ways than I can count.

      “ Give misery an inch it’ll take a mile

      This one will change the life we knew

      Each passing day grows more hostile

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, P.G. So glad you could relate to the write my friend. I loved that verse as well, yes we are in it together. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Outstanding piece my friend. Great job.

    • Damn if you didn’t encapsulate perfectly the world we’re trying to navigate now. If it’s not torpedoes from above, it’s landmines below. People having to go bankrupt putting food on the table while criminals feast in exalted places. I’d be riled up if it was so depressing. Another solid one, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. “If it’s not torpedoes from above, it’s landmines below.” that is a killer line. You should use that in a write. Once again you’re spot on. Appreciate you.

    Backstage (The Who - Who Are You)

         Welcome Backstage. I’m your host, Damian DeadLove. Tonights band is Britain’s own, The Who. I’m a huge fan of their work, it was later in life that I really got into them. They were part of the...

    • Wild.. that band could not see the sense of being controlled. I enjoyed this, Damian. They left the F bombs in, huh. Nice

    • Great fucking band. These guys took no shit and did it there way. Live at Leeds is one of the best live recordings I have ever heard. Great piece of writing Damian.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Keith. So glad you connected with the story my friend. They were a great band. I agree, great album indeed. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • That is such a cool story my friend. I mean he’s responsible for the image and attitude of the band. He wrote a lot of the music as well. Thanks for sharing, so glad you connected with the story. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Tim. So glad you enjoyed the write my friend. Quadrophenia, was a brilliant album. I’m not sure on the Mama Cass story, though it does sound familiar. Keith, wasn’t meant to live long for sure. He was a partier for sure, and a wild man on top of that. lol. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • Why does it seem like the greats die early? Like their burned so hot their inner fire was too much for the body to survive. You picked my favorite song too. Way back when MTV was real music videos, I swear there was an animation of a TV landing in a pool. I might be imagining it though. If it was really a memory though, must have been a nod to him, huh? Another great episode, my friend!

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you enjoyed the story my friend. My theory about the greats going so young, varies from person to person. In Keith’s case, I think he lived and partied hard. Most rock stars do, then some take it to a level most wouldn’t dare. As far as TV landing in the pool, I believe there was something like that on MTV, probably a nod to Keith. Speaking of MTV, what was the first video that ever aired on the network? A little trivia. lol. Appreciate you.

        Damian

        • I think it was Video Killed the Radio Star. I literally was watching from the day it went live for several years…long story
