I promise not yet another blog topic on book reviews, reviewers, mean grrls or whatever. That’s for tomorrow. I kid! Maybe… But this soooooo made me giggle.
Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones is demanding a paper say their very very sowry for being mean to the band and their fans!
Reuters:
“Never before have I risen to the bait of a bad review,” the veteran rock star said in a statement released on Wednesday.
“But this time … I have to stand up for our incredible Gothenburg audience and for our fans all over Sweden … to say that you owe them, and us, an apology.”
Guess he hasn’t heard about laughing all the way to the bank? Maybe Falk should email him. To be fair though I did like the Stones concert when I saw them on their first retirement tour in 1994.
I am not sure what I liked best. I think the last line
“The statement, a copy of which was provided to Reuters by the promoter, concluded: “Write the truth. It was a good show.”
Or maybe the part about the 56,000 people who bought a ticket REALLY LIKED IT DAMN IT! Cuz I am sure they spent all night calling and asking them all. Damn one would think he could buy a better problem.
Slow news day me think… but still ::giggle:: That reviewer must be sooooooooooo ashamed. I am sure he/she is writing up a new review right now. So is that as nifty as having Anne Rice go postal on your ass?
hmmm what would be the book equal to keith richards? Everyone coming to mind is like… dead and that seems wrong even for me. What? I am just trying to come up with new levels for KarenS to reach for 🙂
Ah, but he made you look, didn’t he? And comment!
LOL but it wouldn’t make me buy a ticket to the concert *g*. Of course if I remember right we paid over 75 a ticket in 94. To turn around and get free tickets cuz they spent a week at the hotel I was working at… I can’t imagine what they would charge now.
Concerts are tooooooooo expensive!
