MICHAEL BOLTONS MANAGER NEEDS A REALITY CHECK

At one time MICHAEL BOLTON was a charmer and many peoples choice of hearing a voice that was different from so many others. I met him many years ago at a record store where he was signing his new DC and when the opportunity arose to meet him at a venue that was quite easy, I felt what the heck. Now though I collect ,I try to pass on certain items to patients as a way of paying it forward. My buddy Hotdog as he goes by, waiting patiently outside the venue after the show was over. And we waited and waited and WAITED. Everyone was gone and the two of us traded stories as we sat near the SUV we were sure was taking him back to his hotel or whereever he was going next. As the minutes reached toward hours it crossed our mind to give up but the fact we had gone some distance to be there, waited as long as we had and knew he had not left yet. The Director of the venue was very nice letting us know that he was still there but " He will have alot of security around him". There WAS NOT 100 screaming fans waiting for a chance of a picture or autograph, JUST TWO. A few moments later his entourage came out with 5 security people protecting so we stepped forward. Before we could say one thing, his manager approached us somewhat aggressively and said" ONE ITEM and IF THAT IS A PROBLEM YOU WILL GET NONE AND I WILL PUT HIM IN THE CAR".. Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa was the first thought in my head and the second was I guess Michael can not think or speak for himself. I handed him a photo that Bolton signed as if it was worth a million dollars. Then Hotdog had to choose between an album or his book, he chose the album. I still could not believe it as he made money on both and we heard him say" The album was the most expensive cover on a record" ..MICHAEL BOLTON was acting as if he was The King and never even say thank You to fans that are NOW Ex Fans. Now it is not Micheals fault entirely as he could have said What do You got and how long would have it taken to sign 2 each from us. The Full Blame is THE MANAGER. He is the representative for Bolton and should not treat everyone as if Bolton is giving away the family treasures when asking for an autograph. He was rude and his importance is nill without clinging to the shirt tails of Bolton. We know there are many readers of this blog and we express feelings and the successes and failures in a great hobby and adventure that we are so lucky to be part of at anytime. Though Bolton signed ONE PHOTO some may feel that was a success but in reality it is a true failure that was caused by his manager that has made me a ex fan that will never listen to his music again. So may say He wouldn't care but a grain of sand makes a full beach which can get bigger every day. Good News is Temporary as Bad news spreads quickly.
