KEVIN COSTNER MAKES HALL OF SHAME

My late and great Father always take a moment before doing or writing anything when one is angry. So after sleeping on it the following is our encounter with actor and musician Kevin Costner. He is an egotistical and pompous individual that one does not see unless trying to be a fan with hopes of getting an autograph. Three of us traveled a good distance for his show with his band and I truly was a big fan never missing any of his movies. FIELDS Of DREAMS, WATERWORLD and AT CLOSE RANGE were one of my all time favorites. After the show we positioned ourselves out back where his bus was with about 30 people, 28 of them fans. He came over and signed for two EBAYERS and approach myself and another young lady . He looked right thru us smirking and proceeded down the line as if he was the King and we were his subjects. All of this took maybe two minutes and off he went on his bus. I called to his so called tour manager who was uncaring and rude as his boss. " He is already resting and will not be coming off the bus". When I asked came we give a couple of people items to take on the bus, it fell on deaf ears. As everyone milled about with disappointment and disgust he came off the bus not for the few us but to take a picture with the friendly police officers who guarded him behind the fence. He look at us again smirking and went right back on. It would have taken a minute to sign and show his appreciation to the few fans who paid good money to see an aging actor who lost many fans last night. I rarely get angry or disappointed when a star does not sign as the crowd and venue maybe to large or they are quite tired after performing. It was none of the above especially with the small and intimate setting the show was at. I do not know if he or his management who read this blog and probably would not care but it is too late for me and the fans who were there but may help keep the dwindling fan base he has now. Because an ex fan now I will never watch another of his movies again . With friends John and M.A. , we heard that he is difficult prior to the show and his attitude and treatment up close with fans is even worse than his acting in his last movie CRIMINAL . I felt as if I lost a friend tonight but find comfort that he never was though he pretended to be.
