I appreciate your efforts to be so thorough, and especially for including the poignant tribute to Maurice quoted from the end of Robin's tour book: For Maurice. "Everything we are will never die." (signed) Robin Thanks again, Peggy in Oregon U.S.A. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 20 Sep 2004 19:57:23 -0700 (PDT) From: Mary Rose Subject: Re: Writers Block -- Alex this time --0-1563445659-1095735443=:7101 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Bravo! Mary Rose Bill Busch wrote: Doug, Doug, Doug Don't you get it yet??? After all these years I'd have figured you for being one of the smartest around and understanding it all. Just because we shell out our good, hard earned money, which based on personal experience, could go for better causes, does not give us the right to expect it's full worth. According to some here, it gives us no right to expect anything other than a chair to sit our fat asses in (for those who have one.) We shan't be extended the liberty of critiquing any Bee Gees performance, song selection (you're SUPPOSED to know which songs they will play, even if they themselves don't, BEFORE you buy the ticket), wig selection, voice, attire nor anything else. After all, we've only paid upwards of three figures for a measly concert ticket. Maybe if the tickets were $1,000 a piece we might have a right to say one negative thing. But then again, those feeling holier than thou would of course disagree since we're not owed anything AND we're just supposed to be mezzzzzzzzzzmerized by the brothers. Kinda like going to the store and buying a brand new TV. Don't expect a good picture .... Hell, don't even expect it to change channels. Even though you just laid out big dollars for the thing, you haven't any right to complain about it not living up to your expectations. Gotta love the "just be happy he's in concert" mentality. Well, screw ya'll. Some expect a decent performance for their money and if they don't get it, they have as much right to complain as you've obtained the right to be blinded by the mere mention of the Gibb name.
