SOME PEOPLE THINK THEIR EGO IS BIGGER THAN THEIR SHOE SIZE

By -
 
 Today I ventured out to meet whom I thought would be a very approachable artist who was playing at a small venue. His Name is CONNOR OBERST.
He is definitely not a mega star ( Most have never heard of him) and I was encouraged after speaking with one of the crew that he was a nice guy. Everyone has an opinion  and hopefully he may read this and realize he lost several fans today. I waited outside the venue by myself. No screaming fans or lines hoping to get a glimpse and an autograph. As I was standing there for some time a car pulls up and drops a fellow and young girl off. I had to look twice as I was not sure it was him and he just walked on by. I called out his name and no response and went into the tour bus. Well I waited and he came off the bus and once again I called out and he AGAIN ignored my request and his girlfriend put up her arms as if to say Sorry. I could feel my blood begin to boil as these autographs were not even for me as I never listened to any of his music. 
  I never thought that he would act as if he was the biggest star and did not want to be bothered. Any artist that I go after and if they are cordial at the least, I always start listening to their music. THAT WILL NOT HAPPEN IN THIS CASE. The roadie I spoke with just happened to come by again and I told him of this situation and everyone knows bad news always spreads fast especially in the graphing world. He tried to defend him with comments that he is very private but it almost appeared that he was trying to convince himself as it sure was not convincing me. Maybe he was upset that I did not recognize him automatically but he sure did not look like his photos as he does in person. Maybe he should take a cue from the touch up artist on the photos and start believing that without taking care of the fans who pay for the tickets and CDs he will be working at best for nobody but himself. And then he can keep telling himself how great he really thinks he is!

ACTORS JOHN ASHTON and LISA EILBACHER HAVE RESTORED MY FAITH IN HOLLYWOOD

By Unknown -
The Central Florida Film Festival was showing BEVERLY HILLS COP and showing up for a Q&A were John Ashton and Lisa Eilbacher two of the main stars who played along side Eddie Murphy. They sat on stage and spoked candidly about the movie and acting in general. I did not know Slyvester Stallone was the first choice and only John saw the finished project and only once. John spoke passionately that true acting is found on the stage as movies are always in the hands of the editors and Director. Personally never looked at it that way but it makes perfect sense. John mentioned that with several takes the one you might think was your best may end of the cutting floor with the final choice by the Director. Lisa spoke of her famous curls that many talked about and how much fun they all had during filming. Lisa spoke of her role in An Officer and a Gentleman and giving it up to raise a family. Now after the Q&A is when my faith in Hollywood returned. A few of us approach...

SENSELESS KILLING OF SINGER CHRISTINA GRIMMIE

By Unknown -
We were watching the championship Basketball game when breaking news of the shooting of singer Christina Grimmie flashed across the bottom of the screen on one of the local TV stations here in Orlando. Though I was not very familiar with Christina though I did remember her powerful performance in the VOICE competion which she placed a respectful 3rd. What I was truly familiar was the venue where this tragedy happen called the PLAZA LIVE. I have seen many shows there and have met even more acts after with most signing autographs and taking photos with all their different fans. This senseless shooting happened in the lobby with a meet and greet after her show where fans get the opportunity to mingle up close and personal. Most Meet and Greet opportunities can cost an arm and leg and usually is really there for the singers or groups to add more money into their pocket . I do believe Christina did not charge and was only there to thank her fans and show her appreciation to them. Though th...
