Please Respect Our Privacy

It must be a bitch being a music star, who's made it on the circuit.   A few things that annoyed me was when I was reading about Tommy Lee bitching about people trying to take pictures or say hi to him whiles he's out and about and he made a big stink about it on Facebook.  From the man himself.

"Dear fans,

I f**king LOVE my fans! And you know this!!!... If you asked anyone that knows me really well, they would tell ya the same thing... 'Tommy loves his fans. He lives for this s**t... he eats, breathes, sh*ts music 24/7.' They'll also probably tell ya that 'he's a down-to-earth grateful life-lovin dude and a nice guy, too.'

What I have a problem with is... taking pictures! I hate it! Irritates the f**k out of me when people say... 'You owe it to your fans, they put you where you are, etc. etc.!'

I certainly don't owe anybody anything!

When I bought all my Led Zeppelin records and concert tickets, I didn't say, 'One day these f**kers are gonna owe me a picture.' It's the least they can do for me!...

[What the f**k], people? You don't admire something so that it can give back... You just cherish it! And to those who say, 'You should be grateful that people wanna take your picture. Maybe one day they won't want it!' That day can't come soon enough!

[By the way]… I'm not here to take pictures with you, I'm here to entertain you!

Nobody put me where I am but ME! They may have helped inspire me with their love for what I do... but I put myself right here where I want to be with a lot of hard work, practice, talent, luck, etc. What I do owe myself and others is being THE BEST I can be! And that's making great music, being a good man, father, lover and human being! We all owe that kinda stuff to ourselves and each other.

People, do we really need a silly picture?... For what?! Bragging rights? Really?.. Who f**king cares! Someone's not gonna believe you if ya don't have the proof pic? Then f**k 'em! I'd never go up to someone that I admired and bug them for a picture!! Why! I might say a quick hello... maybe a handshake? I dunno... It depends on the 'situation'... Most people never consider the 'situation.' That's really important... Ya wouldn't wanna handshake standing at the pisser in the men's bathroom next to me, would ya? And yes, that's happened to me, too... Or when you're eating a nice, quiet meal with your family, some rude jackass comes up and asks for a picture!

You can't even imagine what kinda crazy has happened to me. I understand the excitement and all, but just take a second and think... Is this cool right now? It's called consciousness; it's the quality or state of being aware of an external object or something within oneself. Be conscious.

So like I said… the fastest way to get me to leave is whip out a camera! Maybe just say hello and I'll probably take ya home with me! Well, I'd have to ask my girlfriend first! Hah!

Sincerely yours,
The Picture Taker Hater!
Tommy Lee"

UPDATE:  Too bad Tommy didn't tell us about this before he started ranting.  Then I would agree with him.
Now back to the original blog and views.

I can probably see his point of view if he had fans that demand to take his picture with them for keepsake (or for some of them to auction off EBAY)  And hell no, I would never go up to him while he's taking a piss and bothering the fuck out of him on that.   Since I'm not a Motley Crue fan I wouldn't run across a street to shake his hand or even acknowledge him at the record store.  Perhaps if he would cover his tatts up or at least put on a three piece suit and bowler hat he might get the privacy he wants while taking the kids out.  Have to disagree that it was HIM and ONLY HIM that got to the top, basically he had a crack manager and some breaks along the way and lotta fans helping their cause.  But I doubt if Tommy would consider doing a meet and greet after a show to talk with the fans, he doesn't seem to be the type.

Case in point number two. Justin Bieber took exception to a interviewer when he thought Justin sounded like the other Justin, Timerlake and the little brat got pissed and then hung up the phone when the dipshit interviewer asked him about a One Direction member dating his mom.  Yeh, I probably be a little miffed too but Bieber could blame a bad connection or the signal to the cellphone going out.  It's tough being a pop star in this day and age. Too many people trying to make you look like a fool without you doing it yourself.   Damn radio personalities. http://music.msn.com/music/article.aspx?news=740076

Then again there's Adele, who's expecting her first child.  Woman has everything right, boyfriend drops her, she gets pissed off and writes the album that broke her big 21 and complained she couldn't find a good man, wanted to have kids bla bla bla and then we get this little tidbit from the UK Diva.

Im delighted to announce that Simon and I are expecting our first child together. I wanted you to hear the news direct from me, obviously we’re over the moon and very excited but please respect our privacy at this precious time. Yours always, Adele xx

Something is wrong with that last statement, wonder what it could be eh?  Please respect our privacy at this precious time. Here's a suggestion to the UK Diva, if you want privacy, why not keep it to yourself.  That last statement calls attention to yourself more so that anything else that you wrote on 21.  It's a fact of life, people die and babies are born into this world.  I'm sure the unwed mother down the road expecting her second child isn't blabbing about it on the net since she doesn't make anywhere near as much as the UK Diva.

I have no use for Adele, her albums are for her fans and those who want to know what's on the radio.  Certainly there's better stuff and of in the case of Nicki No Talent less but it's not my way to really give a flying shit if she got laid the other day and will bestow another life on the planet with probably a dumb name to shame the poor child.  Adele isn't the only one expecting, One of the Dixie Chicks is expecting child number 4 and so is about 40,000 other women in this world.  Which begs the question if her new boyfriend decides to head off somewhere else, if it's going to lead to another album of heartbreak and emotion called 25?   But who knows, maybe it will all work out for them.

I donno, I get tired of seeing things in the paper or on the internet and seeing how the train wreck stars out there are going through life's changes of love, heartbreak, marriage, divorce and ten kids from ten different daddies and please respect our privacy in this time of trail and tribulations.  Fuck that and fuck you.  The other night while driving the old piece of shit purple car, somehow I managed to run over something and ended up getting a big split in my tire to which air was going out as fast as I was putting it in from a GD pay air hose.  And had to change a flat in the fucking darkness of the out of town BP, cussing out the Almighty and anything that came without fifty feet of myself.  But that's the story of 2012 for me, junk cars, hitting every fucking yellow red light in this wonderful town, crappy printers at work and a attitude that might just give me that stroke or heart attack that just might silence me.  If I knew had I hit Shrapnel on the fucking road, I would have mugged the guy in front of me at wally world, take his Jack Daniels and down the thing in one gulp and then ride the rims home.  So please respect my privacy while I scream f bombs to high heaven and tell Adele to rock on with her bad self.

I basically have no use for Divas' who tend to think only of her self serving selves, ya want privacy luv, keep it out of the mainstream media.  As for Tommy Lee, I prefer a Willie Nelson  or a Los Lobos who will play their shows and still be kind enough for a meet and greet afterwards.

One more Tommy, you may not want to park next to me in the urinal, I tend to have a lousy aim.............
