| Say what you want about her, but unlike a lot of modern "singers', the woman really can sing!

| Sometimes we have to be brought to the lowest point to realize what we are doing is a dead end. I hope they both come out of this

| When I was about nineteen I flew with my dad on a business trip to Memphis, Tenn. I just wanted to fly on a plane and get to go somewhere with my dad. It was his dime, so why not go? That was my "goal." I went along. His "goal" was to teach me a lesson. He thought I was stupid for wanting to be in the music business. He told me that we were going to a building that he owned and he had to oversee the eviction of a tenant. They were WAY behind on lease payments. Who was the tenant? It was Isaac Hayes. He had a cool studio there, too! The Shelby County Sherrif's Office stopped the session in progress, ushered everyone out the door and put a lock on the door. I inherited part ownership of that building after my dad died. Would I have tossed Isaac out? Hell yes. We sold that building in 1998. No one is going to help me pay my mortgage. Why should I help them? James, do you actually feel sorry for someone who obviously has a wonderful talent and still chooses to throw it away? You teach voice. You can recognize that she once had a beautiful instrument. She faces the same choices we all do every day. We could all loose everything to drugs if we were that stupid. I feel more sorry for someone who also has a great instrument and never gets the chances that she did! Maybe they wouldn't throw it all away, but they'll never get the chance. Call it what it is!

I'll prey for her, that's it. I've had my problems and had people that slammed me and others were supportive. I personally chose to try to be supportive because I think there's enough negativity surrounding her and Bobby. That situation doesn't need me to pile on.

| On one hand it is very, very sad. The other hand is of course, that the auction is about 9 miles from where I live and the day after my birthday. I am so there.

Was that offensive to you? If you were in a "state of prison" like she may be in, I think you would probably feel a benefit from some prayers, and breaks. I know I would. Im not saying she shouldnt have to give it all up for bills, if thats what it is, thats what it is. I however dont think someone should fester "you deserve it" attitudes towards others having problems like this. Where is your mercy going to come from if you have similar trials?? | |

| I can see your way of thinking James and although I might seem cold for saying this, I just don't have much sympathy for people who either had a "gift" or incredible luck and used the proceeds to destroy their own lives. They made some other peope sad as well I bet. I can appreciate their gift and talent, but I don't have to have anymore sympathy for them because they are famous and gifted. That just makes it more wrong. In fact, they aren't THAT special... there are other equally "gifted" people who don't have this linage: Houston's mother Cissy, first cousin (Dionne Warwick) and godmother (Aretha Franklin) were all notable figures in the music industry for their gospel, rhythm and blues and soul music recordings. Well great, she was damn near born into it and she destroyed it. Like I said, that was the easy part for her. The part that messed everything up was available to everyone of us. I have seen A LOT of musicians and "artists" who would have almost certianly lived a happier life had they NOT been discovered. In fact, I've personally known a few pretty good people who would be ALIVE if they didn't get famous. If you have a gift and are lucky enough to get paid money for it and then you use that money to F*CK UP your life then you didn't use your assets too wisely. Fame can be a DEADLY thing. Be carefull what you ask for.... you might get it. It doesn't garantee happiness. In fact, the odds are NOT in your favor. I'll even add this... I really don't have to care what a person is like if I want to enjoy their music. I have met some jerks and some nice people, too. Some of the jerks and low lifes made some pretty cool stuff. I don't know what Stravinski, Bethoven, Webern, Varese, Ligetti, Berg, Ives, Bach, Honeger, or even Frank Zappa were like personally. They could have all been royal a-holes, but I sure dig their music. That's enough. At least they hung around long enough to create some good stuff! I am sick to death of "special" people who mess up. In fact, I am sick to death of people who can't run their lives. Meth, crack? It's obvious what the outcome is. Does anyone EVER cheat the odds and come out "OK?"
