Oh, God... I think I'd have to slit my wrists if they did. The first time around was bad enough.

A couple people around here would probably gladly supply the razor blades!

1. The father is a narcissist who spent $10 million to throw a party for himself under the guise of doing something for his daughter. That is evident by the performers he chose.

2. This was a gross use of money and while he can do whatever he wants with his $10 million, it shows some really messed up values on his part.

3. We are embarrassed for the performers for being part of it.

No one needs a $10 million party. Brooks could have thrown a great party (maybe one that actually had entertainment a 13 year old would like) for a few thousand. Then he could have asked his daughter to pick a charity and donated the rest in her name. That probably wouldn't be a big deal for her now, but would help instill some values that she will appreciate one day.

Or he could have used the money to improve the working conditions of his employees so those nasty labor disputes could go away.

$10 million for a party/private concert? Might as well flush it down the toilet.

Add me to the zillions that agree with these points .Sorry but I just don't understand the people who are defending this guy .Again I really hope Nicks and Petty donated or used the money from this for something altruistic .

Where do I send your toaster oven ?

This is indeed fin de siecle, fiddle while Rome is burning decadence. I don't think so badly of the performers - as I have said, entertainers are whores. Petty is the only one who surprises me. It tickles me that there is a scandal or two with this guy's company. Bad taste and gauche extravagence usually carry a stench that comes from a deeper source. It will be interesting indeed to see what is really going one once the stink and smoke clear off of this one.

For the record - I defend no one. I just think I do not want anyone telling me what the hell to do with my money. Apparently, people cannot get that concept.

P.S. Ya know I love ya

Well said, Ricky. Moderators, you can go ahead and delete the other 475 posts if you want, all we really need is this one.

IMHO, their collaboration produced one of her best demos: "Tragedy of One's Own Soul."

Perhaps Stevie doing a concert for a person who makes body armor to protect our troops is a separate issue from the Iraq war, which isn't the topic of discussion in here anyway.

How many people really believe Stevie knows who the Hell she is going to perform for anyway? Howard/Sheryl Louis probably knew what this guy was all about though. Stevie went again to visit the injured vets, , a visit that was planned before the backlash to this Brooks thing broke out. She probably dislikes Brooks as much as some of us around here do. Her fee could have easily been spent on more ipods but perhaps she does not feel the need to publicize that fact.

I don't feel like scrolling back. What was the outcome of the Amber/irishgrl discussion. Cliffs Notes? I stopped reading after about 5 pages. It was almost more interesting that the original thread topic.
