Farewell to B.S.

Barbra Streisand is planning another farewell tour 6 years after she was supposed to have finally shut up. And reports have it that she plans to charge $1,500 per seat and make $2,000,000 per date on a 20 concert tour.

Now, I know Barbra has her fans, etc. and that this is probably good news in some circles but I'm thinking of two areas where she is taking unfair advantage. The first is that she is sure to use this tour as an opportunity to try to drum up some more anti-Bush propaganda. She will be suddenly in the entertainment news cycles on TV and doing the talk show circuit. And the truth is that apart from her "celebrity" status nobody would give a damn about her far left, specious opinions.

The other area where she is taking unfair advantage is renegging on her promise that she was leaving. I am sure a lot of fans (and others) couldn't wait to plop down the $150 ticket price in 2000 A.D. to get to see her LAST performance. These people sacrificed their time and money and were swindled. As fans, they no longer have bragging rights (that they paid hard cash for) to be able to claim they saw her in her last concert performance. Now all they can do is hang their heads in shame and mumble that they paid scalper prices in 2000 to see just another B.S. performance.

Now it is 2006 and she has apparently realized that left wing rhetoric doesn't pay as well as she thought and James Brolin's acting career sure as hell isn't going to support her in the lifestyle she's been used to. So the $150 in 2000 has become $1,500 in 2006 and all of the previously cheated fans are supposed to sit still for it. But not any more! I am calling for a fan boycott of the upcoming tour and a class action lawsuit by the people swindled with the false promises of her last last tour.

Let the world know we've had enough B.S. to last a lifetime.
