“Brian Wilson is mindless junkie, trying to bank on his former success to sell tickets. His live shows are an insult to my musical palette. I would rather lodge a Q-Tip in my ear and spoon out my eyes than see him in concert again. The visibility sucked, he didn’t play with a full band, and his set list was hardly better than Paris Hilton’s album. Oh, and leukemia is just a form of natural selection. Get over it.” Bile bubbling just under your uvula? Fist clenched? Nearly gnawing your molars raw?
So did I when I heard the complaints of Wilson’s concert at New York’s Hammerstein Ballroom this past week. The concert was a benefit for the non-profit Stand Up For A Cure charity, but apparently not even a humanitarian cause will stop spoiled concertgoers from complaining. The introductory quote is entirely fabricated, exposing the root of the blackened souls, ken8052, who have posted complaints of the concert on Wilson’s website. But, it gets worse than the obvious moral obligation: All those who paid double the normal amount to see Brian Wilson and contribute to charity have the option of reimbursement.
According to NME.com, “Melinda Wilson announced on brianwilson.com that fans who were unhappy could send their ticket stubs to the Wilson’s publicist who would reimburse them.” Meaning the spoiled brats, who would be ungrateful should John Lennon return from the grave for a single concert after an eternal, nearly 30 years, not play “Imagine” nor be accompanied by an ethereal George Harrison, won. They have put their own, selfish is not the word, inhumane, disgruntled is not the word, sinful complaints on a higher pedestal than charity. Here’s to hoping these miscreants do, in fact, lodge a Q-Tip in their ears and spoon out their eyes, should they be so lucky. Free speech is a fine enough argument, but take it in context.
