Suddenly, these high-talent kids are launched on tour around the world, 10 shows in 4 days in Atlantic City, 15 shows in 5 days in NYC, 12 shows in 5 days in Chicago, traveling with an entourage all around the world, a monthlong blockbuster booking in Lost Vegas, unlimited per diem expense account, these young talents are supposed to find sleep somehow in the daytime, perform at max capacity night and matinee, no social life, no family life, only roadlife. If they turn out to be any good, this pattern goes on for decades, but the ego structure at foundation level never gets built, it likely stays at pre- or post-adolescent level.<br /><br />Sorry, Toad, it just makes me sad, how do any showbiz people survive, especially the imbalanced young ones like Whitney et al, catapulted to fame straight from the church choir stall, with no coping skills, no education, no sense of self:world.<br /><br />If you listened to Kevin Costner, he spoke the truth, i.e. that this child had no sense of whether she was "good" or not. There's the story.<br /><br />-FloAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861447409543225070.post-9674065121962517272012-02-19T18:06:12.323-06:002012-02-19T18:06:12.323-06:00I too was drawn to the funeral, I found myself dri...I too was drawn to the funeral, I found myself drifting back and forth and was particularly touched by the poem Dionne Warwick read.<br /><br />Although I grew up with Whitney's music, the reason I tuned in to honor a mother, a daughter, sister and friend to many.<br /><br />Have a great night, ElizabethElizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acornshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044933540074342177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861447409543225070.post-19492888262957656852012-02-19T15:50:12.897-06:002012-02-19T15:50:12.897-06:00Looks like the Whitney police have pulled the plug...Looks like the Whitney police have pulled the plug on the EBAY auctionToadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17320342028348619490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861447409543225070.post-71101035205114677992012-02-19T15:43:50.686-06:002012-02-19T15:43:50.686-06:00now if we could only get Piers Morgan off the air ...now if we could only get Piers Morgan off the air too.Toadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17320342028348619490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861447409543225070.post-14527462597183156202012-02-19T15:20:14.743-06:002012-02-19T15:20:14.743-06:00Amen, Anon.Amen, Anon.Old Polonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861447409543225070.post-49804969582930355672012-02-19T14:19:00.910-06:002012-02-19T14:19:00.910-06:00I'm sorry she died but I'll be very happy ...I'm sorry she died but I'll be very happy to turn on the tv and not see Whitney Houston "coverage."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861447409543225070.post-26915777845231967492012-02-19T12:08:17.461-06:002012-02-19T12:08:17.461-06:00Your bet was almost a sure thing.
