Get Over Yourself Already
I recently did a radio show with someone who was such a pain in the neck, I regretted scheduling her the very next day and wanted to cancel. In fact, several people told me to cancel. But I didn't listen. I did the show anyway. Now, even if you do a media event i.e. a television show, radio show etc. and you didn't love it, you thank the host and in the back of your mind you go "Well, I won't do that again." Instead this person said the show did not go the direction that she wanted it to go and many of her fans complained about it. Fans? This person has fans? Okay, well I can tell you that 1.5 MM people listened to that show to date and I received over 300 emails telling me how much they enjoyed the interview with this person. So, I told her manger (who I don't think has managed a person in her life) since she did not like the show, it would be deleted. I deleted it, thanked them and wished them "all the best in the future" but her manager and the guest (who I think need Prozac, Xanax or both) went ballistic and said that I needed to re-read her email, that there was no reason to delete the show. Okay, the guest hated it, she said her fans hated it...so why would they care if I deleted it? They said it stunk. I guess instead of micromanaging my show, the guest should get one of her own perhaps? I have over 5 MM listeners, that is not an accident. I have great guests and this is only the 3rd disappointing person I have run across in over 480 interviews to date. Not bad at all. So the show is deleted, I asked both of them to not email or text me anymore and I hope that they stay on their meds and leave me alone. She said I was a terrible and mean person...I actually laughed when I read that. I love how people email u, insult u and when u react u are suddenly the bad person. She did say she would pray for me though so I am deeply touched (OK, I'm not but--whatever). I told her if hating me helps her get through the day, hate away...I'm going through so much I just don't care. This person is totally musically irrelevant but thinks she's Diana Ross or something...wow. Head trip!! I would say she's a Diva...but she's just a plain old "b". No way around it...sorry. So the show is gone and if I'm lucky she will crawl back into whatever hole she crawled out of and I will not have to hear her voice ever again. That is my prayer for today~AMEN!
