Stevie did a Bat Mitzvah

It is bad taste because it is completely out of scale.

This kind of party would actually be appropriate for Sheryl Crow's wedding. Ir Stevie's 60th birthday party. They both know a lot of the performers, it would make sense. I can only imagine the tens of thousands of dollars worth of food that is in the trash. It is the concept of doing ludicrous, extravagant things just because you can that I find distasteful. The scale of it all drives it into sickening territory for me.

And the performers ? Everyone's a whore folks. Some of us just can ask for more money than others. Everyone is a whore.

But who are you to judge?

You've actually managed to cut through numerous pages of bull**** with one bloody post. It's the whole idea of people with millions of dollars hiring out other millionaires for extravagant sums of money to perform for an audience of more millionaires that I find rather icky. Why? Because, as you said, it's just for show. It somehow gratifies them to show what a big fat dick they have in the form of a checkbook. It makes me sick to my stomach. Everything is about money; those who have it feel the need to show it off, and rich rock stars give into such bull**** because they're going to be rewarded with lots of money. Talk about tacky.
