" know that this may be a stupid thread but I always find myself for a few weeks after a show wanting to see more. I miss clay so badly. I find myself looking for every detail of the shows online. Each time I go to a show it gets worse. He is like something you need to survive. Am I crazy? Am I obsessed? I dont think so but everyone else does. They just do not understand. Clay stands for so much good, He is so real he seems to capture something inside of me that is so great that I do not want it to go away. He makes me smile on my worst days through his music. When he smiles it is so genuine and then he starts to sing and Im gone. Its a good thing isnt it? Oh well I guess I just have to wait til the next show It cannot come soon enough for me."
"i have been so worried about Clay too!! i havent been as worried about someone as i am for Clay in my whole life!! i think i care about him more than i care about myself. "

Claymates, those of you that are posting things like the above need help. Seriously. Either you are lying about your devotion and prayers for Clay to try to fit in, or there is something seriously wrong with you. Whichever, you need help.
Have you ever worried for a relative or a friend this way? Do you cry for the soldiers who are being killed on an almost daily basis? Do you pray like this for the suffering that is going on in Darfur? Do you visit nursing homes or pediatric units in hospitals? Do "deep feeling" people like yourselves do anything for anyone that isn't related to Clay? It is sick and you need help.
The people who enable you in your illness are not your friends. They are sick also, and you feed off of each others pathos like warm water fuels a hurricane. You HAVE become a cult. Clay? For allowing this to go on, you are responsible and disgusting. Shame on you!
