Re: Ticketmaster Announce Rescheduling Of Opening Shows [All threads merged]
I'm from Canada. I will enjoy the trip regardless because I am going to visit a friend of mine who is really special to me, but my kids don't know her. They were happy for me to get to visit, but they really didn't want to go to London. They keep hearing how it is boring for kids, from the friends of theirs who went. I have been showing them the good about it but they would much rather go somewhere else. This is the only vacation I have ever taken them on and I wanted it to be exciting and fun for them but the truth is, I really don't know how I can make it fun and exciting when the thing they were most looking forward to was the concert. That was the excitement for them. For me, I am fine, though of course disappointed at missing the concert. I still have lots to look forward to.
I just seriously don't know how I'm going to tell them. They weren't all that into MJ before I told them I got tickets to his concert and you should see them now. I can't get my son to listen to anything else. I actually am tired of listening to his music because that's all that gets played around here. Though not all that tired of it. But they have been converting all their friends to becoming MJ fans. They have been learning about him, and watching his videos, and dancing to him. All this because I got us tickets to the concert. They were more excited about that than I've seen them about anything lately. Now I just don't know what to tell them. I actually don't want to tell them. I don't know what to do. If it were just me then fine, but I am letting down my children and I have done that enough in my life. I really didn't want to let them down this time.
i know it's hard, Ape. i know. and by the way, you are their mother. there's no possiblity of them being let down.
this is what i'd like to inject. we have now been reminded of an aspect of Mj that made us a fan. his perfectionism. a product of patience. one of the paramount reasons why your kids can't listen to anything else. the reason why his music can be blocked from radio, making room for many others, but in the end, his music sells out 50 concerts.
from the beginning, MJ was hesitant to perform, and his mother had to goad him into doing it. the Victory Tour, etc. he was always afraid of not getting it right. from the very beginning.
it's like a car. if you take of your car, your car will take care of you.
if you take care of your music, your music will take care of you.
it's been a bellweather and apex of the Michael experience from the beginning.
and it's something we must adapt, if we want MJ's music to continue to be what it always has been.
because of this care, MJ's product has been recession proof.
this is a life lesson for all of us.
perhaps you can tell those close to you, that you won't stand for an inferior product.
neither will Michael.
*fingers crossed*
