RE: the band getting cut their checks, it depends on how good the Musical Director was when he negotiated the contract. If this was a house gig (they were staying for an extended time in one spot) then they are being contracted by the venue, not the artist, and they probably got paid by the week, and had the rest of that weed paid out. If it was part of a road gig, then they are being contracted by the artist to fulfill her obligation to promoters, and they are paid for the amount of time spent on the road regardless of how many dates are booked. If they're getting $3k a week for 12 weeks, then they get their cash even if individual dates fall through. If the whole tour gets cancelled though, then they're lucky if they get a plane ticket home. -sm |

SM, it was a one shot deal, neither road trip (tour) nor extended stay.

Summary:
Ronstadt had the right to say what she wished. The casino had the right to kick her out. The audience did not have the right to vandalize the place. The new owners of the casino will have the right to invite Ronstadt and Moore back, to sing "America the Beautiful".

Unfortunately, I believe they plan on changing it to the "Hard Rock Casino". So the decor will probably change.

dammit OC don't you know GWB shot JFK, on a special operation for the CIA, thus putting into power LBJ, who lied??? this led us to nixon who lied and eventually died... ford was in power even though he never appeared on a ticket. carter was just a saintly good old boy, but he fell to the evil evil ronnie raygun who had iran contra with the CIA/DIA and more recently died... after him we have a little bush who once worked for the CIA, then our hero Bill Clinton, who tried to help his friend Al, but the election was stolen by the evil GWB then he took us to war with lies from the CIA... now we have come full circle because GWB is up against another JFK... all because there was no *drum roll* no smoking gun!!!

Osama bin Landen will attack buildings with airplanes? So he sat there for seven minutes in an elementary school as if he knew nothing about what was happening. Oh wait. He did not know. Cheney did not tell him to read the details. It was only titled "Bin Ladin Determined to Strike in US.” To understand planes attacking buildings, the president would have had to read details. Details. That is Cheney's job. Therefore those anti-social minority in a Las Vegas concert are justified in destroying a the night of entertainment for real Amerians? When someone criticized this president, what do all good Americans do? At minimum they stay quiet and acknowledge that all who criticize this president have plenty of reasons to do so. Did I mention something called an economy? What is wrong here is that anyone is even discussing Rhonstadt. The problem is George Jr and his extremist friends who find nothing wrong in trashing a casino. Also wrong here are those who don't comdemn those extremist violent actions in their very first post - hint hint. And so to understand the violence in Las Vegas, we start with the source - George Jr and his 'screw everyone else' politics. Last edited by tw; 07-23-2004 at 03:47 PM. |

It's an obvious gambit to force the discussion into a specific channel. I don't know about others, but it ticks me off because you are telling me how I have to approach a topic. The phrasing is definately not a "Win Friends and Influence People" sort of thing. |

Of course we were not the only ones who tried to take out bin Laden. The list includes Egypt, Syria, Saudia Arabia, Jordan, and even Libya. Got to give the man credit. He stays alive. He has inadvertant friends in the right places (from his perspective). He even has a president who would not let the Marine expeditionary force nor 10th Mountain go get him. Bin Laden even got an American president who helped him stay alive. (Generals Zinni and Shelton were furious.) |

Truth must be posted bluntly no matter how much it hurts. Same applies to those who want to save me from seeing something painful or atrocious. Don't insult me. If they are cutting off his head, then show me ... in detail. Then I can assertain the credibility of the event, appreciate the real intent of the killers, AND identify other unique information not observed by others. Again, stop with thinking nice is good. Nice is bad. Honest and blunt is good. In the meantime, it is an honest opinion but not backed up by supporting reasoning. You don't think there is anything gained by first starting with the reason for that Las Vegas violence? Fine. You don't like it. Why? Why does that unjustified violence by a minority of Las Vegas extremists not belong in this discussion first and foremost? Not your feelings. Facts. Why should we ignore the fundamental reasons for the disruption of a show at the expense of other Linda Rhonstadt fans? Last edited by tw; 07-23-2004 at 05:11 PM. |
