Courtney’s good point

Mar 18th, 2008 by Rosemary

Courtney left this message and I felt it deserved more attention:

Ani Difranco was always my favorite too, until I ran into her in the French Quarter in New Orleans this past weekend.

Yes, she was (gasp) rude and unappreciative. Her show is just that, a show to make money. In reality, she is totally unreceiving and unappreciative of a genuine fan’s gratitude and support.

I’m sorry to say it, but I am done supporting her fake image. She is just like the rest of the Napoleans that she stands against on her stage.

I hate it when celebrities of any kind are mean to fans. They wouldn’t enjoy the perks they have without us. There is no excuse for this kind of behavior.

    Well, that just ruined my day! It sucks to hear that Ani doesn’t practice in life what she preaches in her songs. Artists that act like this towards their fans need some sense knocked in to them. It’s understandable that sometimes you might have an off day and not want to sign an autograph, but it comes with the territory and should at the very least be handled with courtesy. After all, as mentioned above, none of them would be where they are now without the love and support of their fans.

    Jewel was like that also, but it was even worse because it wasn’t when I ran into her on the street- it was at a concert I saw at the Casino Ballroom, which everyone had (obviously) paid to be at. She kept telling her fans how boring they were, how much better her other shows had been and how she would rather be anywhere else. I was a huge fan prior to that, but I haven’t looked at her the same since. I just can’t see how someone who lived in a car before her fans started buying her albums could be so ridiculously RUDE towards people that adored her enough to pay good money to see her. Needless to say, I haven’t bought any of her new albums since.
