    I was reading the new RS interview with McCartney today and he was talking about the lack of privacy in The Beatles days. He said if people came up to them when they were eating and asked for something they'd say no. If the person said "but I buy your records" then they would say stop buying them because it's not worth trading our privacy.

    My take away from that is that outside of performing a concert we pay for they owe us nothing extra and we shouldn't expect anything extra. Often they go above and beyond and I consider that a bonus.

    totally. I hate the "well we made them rich" mentality. we don't own a piece of them because we bought their records that WE ENJOY. we aren't doing them a favour. I'm not a musical philanthropist.

    I remember...I was facing the bar ( just got there) when a car pulled up behind me...my friends who were facing the street pointed at me to turn around with smiles on their faces.

    I turned and was facing Mike like 2 ft apart...he shook my hand and talked for a minute

    it was for Tres Mt

    for sure, they owe us nothing. Kinda like when your work calls on your day off and you ignore it because it's your time and you can do with it what you want.

    I read this thread at its infancy, and haven't been on the board in a few days. I see next to the thread 90 new replies. My first thought....."damn, PJ was all over town for so many people to have bumped into them!"
    Then I read the 90 new replies. Not so much, lol.

    Quick update: Me and my dog held a special screening of Single Video Theory today on my couch and not even Boom showed up and I'm outraged.

    Yes, I certainly was suggesting a lot for thinking they may have wanted to donate 30 minutes of their time. I will keep that silliness to myself going forward. They are like any other retailer selling $5 shirts for $35.

    No, they are like any other retailer promising a film screening and q&a with the director and then delivering a film screening and q&a with the director.

    And I didn't expect anything different and posted so several times. But based on most of the comments in this thread it seems that the average superfan (posting in this forum) views them as corporate CEO's of a retailer.

    I've read this entire thread and I don't recall anyone saying that. It feels like you have an agenda you're trying to advance here for some reason.

    Were you one of the small group I saw lined up early afternoon Saturday?
    Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.

    Exactly, although if bootlegger paid $35 for his HOB tix, maybe we shouldn't tell him they also gave the tix away for free? Imagine the gall of PJ, delivering exactly what they said they would and doing it for FREE!
