I'm not saying he didn't need the money. I'm saying you owe your fans the respect. How somebody pays their bills is a different concern. Again, the bottom line is that if you can't do something, then you don't do it.It’s not really that simple. Again not only do fans have expectations there are pple who Michael took care of. Not to mention coming off a big settlement, a new father and other business ventures, also paying the pple he employs including lawyers and who knows what else.
Imagine if MJ's job was throwing knives at a circus. If he went blind, then he literally would not be able to do that job. It doesn't matter How long he's been doing that job, and it doesn't matter how much people want to see him do it. He simply can't.
If you can't deliver quality of performance, it's basically taking advantage of people.Everyone knows that touring is where the money is. And it’s a great way to connect with the fans.
Huh? What do I do for a living? I'm single-handedly responsible for approx 1.5% of the world's electricity. You wouldn't be able to charge your phone or cook your dinner without me. You're welcome.But again…you do what for a living? Exactly.
But you know what? If I develop dementia then I won't be able to do my job any more, so I'll have no choice but to stop. And like any responsible adult, my plan is to get enough money to retire before that happens.
Again, you dodged my question, so I ask you again. Do you think Oasis are going to mime on their comeback?
Is "trolling" a new word for balanced and objective conversation? Or is it just a way to dismiss those who have an opinion you don't agree with?Now you are juts trolling.
Why would I want to read the archives or "back up my claims"? None of that matters. I'm talking about principles and respect.You cant even be bothered to read the archives of this forum to back up your claims.
Meh. Sounds like spoiled brats having a temper tantrum.This forum and the fan community went into meltdown in June 2009
In the Aerosmith case, as well as many others, people respect those artists even more for knowing when to call it a day.
Nobody wants an artist to develop a bad reputation.
Please understand, none of this is a specific or personal attack on MJ. It's just basic facts that apply to anybody in any profession that involves physical performance.Your constant claims about Michael are baseless and false.
Michael Jordan is not able to continue playing basketball professionally. It is simply no longer a career option. That's why he has a sports clothing brand and a restaurant chain.
Mike Tyson is not able to continue being the heavyweight world champion, that's why he has his farming business.
David Coulthard is not able to continue being a racing driver, that's why he owns hotels and is a commentator on the TV.
You see?
