Words from my desk at work
The best time to love an artist is when they are on their way up and when after having peaked either too soon, or way too much they have now reached their demise and are trying to revive their career by rekindling the religion they started way back when, and then there you are one of the few. Years ago, I tried to get *Nsync tickets from Ticketmaster. They sold out in about an hour. I tried other states and it was pretty much the same thing. I sometimes wonder if they were to get back together now, can they sell out as fast and even though I know the answer to that question is No, how small or big will the arena be, will they play an intimate club show, and have time to do nice, personal, very friendly meet-and-greets after the show. That's the best kind of show for a fan of the music (even of the person) and only a star begging for a rise and or slowly hitting their demise will be smart enough or can afford to do something like that. Everything else in between, at their career peak, will be impossible. They wouldn't be foolish enough to attempt to play a small arena (not much money will be made and not many fans will be satisfied because how many of them can fit in) and they won't be humble enough to even try to. After all, who's nice when they're famous, they all develop this big egos and only Dome-like arenas would be big enough to fit them and their egos. And you all know how possessive I get when I am a true fan of someone's I just don't enjoy sitting in that arena with way too many teenagers. The surprising thing is that BSB still sold out their show, and even though I logged in within minutes of the show going on sale I still garnered crappy seats, so there are still fans who want to go to the shows, but hate to buy their CD's.
