One day, in the not so distant future, you will loss your status of superstar musician.
One day people won't make trips of thousands of kilometres to watch your shows, while paying crazy amounts of money for them.
One day there won't be websites devoted to your music, that you can slam.
One day there won't be crowds of music lovers discussing neverendingly about your songs.
One day media won't give a shit about your new music.
One day you might become a cheap musician playing at some minor Las Vegas hotel.
One day people will speak loudly with friends while ignoring your music live.
One day, young people won't know there existed an anthem called Purple Rain.
One day the word "purple" won't bring your name to people interested in music.
THAT DAY you will miss the support of fans.
THAT DAY you will regret the disappearance of places like Housequake.com
In the mean time, time is flowing, making its job.
Time is not a trick; you also depend on time.
And one day, time will make you learn some lessons, the hard way.
One day.
You sound like a teenager.
ReplyDeletePassion is a positive obsession. Obsession is a negative passion.
Thanks for your concise dictionary for catetos.
ReplyDeleteBut why do you say that?
Maybe it's because teenagers hide behind the nick "Anonymous", instead of using their common nick (be it Keight or maybe SmallMummyLQ?)?
Or maybe because some teenagers are unable of gratitude?
Just wondering, you know.
The internet is one big anonymous bubble.
ReplyDeleteI just think you need to let go a bit that's all.
Be positive.
Ok, fine.
ReplyDeleteSo, according to your definition of positivity, we should say always "god bless you" to music superstar, regardess of their behaviour?
I don't think so. And critizicing the negative behaviours from megalomaniac music superstars is not negativity; in cases like this, is just being realistic.
I would be first in row to praise Prince if he behaved in a logic, grateful manner towards the people who have supported him the most, along the years. Even in the dark years, when only a handful of fans were paying attention to him.
But unfortunately this is not the case. These days the Paris Hiltons of the world and the gossip blogs are the favourite guests and internet resources, respectively, of Prince.
It's sad but this is what maturity has brought to him. And I can't avoid to be extremely dissapointed, and given this is my personal blog, I am not going to "let it go". I will express my feelings here, whether you like it or not.
Thurst for revenge is a very low energy level.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that thermodynamics had anything to do with this story.
ReplyDeleteBut anyway, I have written nothing about revenge. These are just reflections on what will happen, in the future, with pretty much any superstar musician, including the one that was the focus of HQ.
I agree with you, Cateto!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that this time 'round, Prince is losing a LOT of fans - and most of them for good! He has certainly lost ONE - me! If I ever feel like it again, I'll listen to his music in my collection again some day but I won't buy another of his products, be they albums, merchandise or concert tickets, unless he changes his ways with regard to the fansites dedicated to him. I'm simply upset by the injustice of it all - a multimillionaire superstar harassing fansites until they're finally forced into closure!
