Mitch is living in la la land :$

Yep. I don't think he's a bad person or anything. I think he just got a little too excited about all the media attention and isn't always making the right decisions because of it.

I agree with a lot of these very insightful comments. I think Mitch is basically a good guy but he's got that annoying showbiz personality. It's like he can't help himself. I'm not saying he's not responsible for his behavior, it's just I honestly don't think he even realizes he's doing anything wrong.

I concur, ladies. Mitch always had showbiz aspirations, which got sidetracked by the wife and kids. It reminds me of that play/movie,"Gypsy", about a legendary stripper named Gypsy Rose Lee. She had to deal with a mother with showbiz dreams who plopped all that onto her children, including Gypsy, who actually resented her mother.

i love Mitch. he may not always do what we perceive to be the right thing to do but i can't help but feel in my heart that he has agonized and suffered more than any parent should over a child(it's an expression). and it's all come from a genuine place of his unconditional love for his daughter. i can't help but extend my unconditional love to both Mitch and Janis. i'm humbled by their humanity.

i can't fault anyone for pursuing a dream, and without his love of music, and if he'd been a better person when he was a young dad, amy might have become a happy well-adjusted waitress. i would love to see them do a duet together! the most beautiful bonnie raitt performance i ever saw (on tv) was her doing a duet with her dad john - hey there (you with the stars in your eyes). sadly, it's gone from youtube.

^ Yeah, like Alan said, Mitch should record a duet with Amy for it, as they've sung together since her childhood, and it should sound great, as the voices within one family tend to blend together very well.

I had a childhood flashback.... she was pretty fab.
