Didn't Barbra Streisand cancel her Y2K concert too?

-- Not a Barbra Fan (notaBarbrafan@notaBarbrafan.com), August 10, 1999.

Y2K has nothing to do with it. Bowie is done, put him out by the curb. Touring with "Split Enz", can you sink any lower.

They sold 1,000 tickets out of 35,000. No money, no concert.

I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence.
And so the days flow thru my eyes
But the days still seem the same.
And this children you spit on
As they try to change their worlds,
Are immune to your consultations.
Theyr'e quite aware of what they're going thru...

Strange fascination fascinating me.
Oh changes are taking the place I'm going thru...

That's me on the guitar you hear all thru "Let's Dance".

Idiot wouldn't pay me more than scale.. too bad, could have saved his career.

That's creepy, Stevie Ray is dead.

Literally, yes, but not figuratively, as is David.

He laughed at incidental sirens,
that split the evening gloom.
The police had warned of repercussions,
They followed none too soon.
A trickle of strangers,
Were all that was left alive.
Panic in Detroit.
I asked for an autograph.
He wanted to stay home>
I wish someone would phone......

Planet Earth is blue, and there's nothing I can do.

there's a starman, waiting in the sky. he's told us not to blow it, because he thinks it's all worthwhile. ?

Fashion!
Turn to the left
Turn to the right
Oooooooooooooooooo, fashion!
We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town
Beep! Beep!

An ambiguous, but valid political commentary....
