733t My Ass, Shut Up and Play!
November 20, 2007 by VJ Shojo
Lilly Dilly and I went to Dash Renoir’s Jazz Link Lounge to hear a wonderful Performer from Taiwan named MoShang Zhao, perform his music last night. All was well and we thought we would stick around to hear the performer who was following Moshang. This performer (who shall remain nameless in this post.) got up on stage and immediately started berating Dash Renoir, the owner and host. Saying that Dash shouldn’t have sent a group notice to promote this fellow’s show. And then he went on about that his show shouldn’t have been billed as a debut, because he was one of the first musicians in SL. and that even though it was the first time he’d played at the Jazz Link, that by billing it as a debut, that somehow people would infer that he was a noob, yadda yadda yadda.
Okay, so this cat, has been in SL since April 2003, so that would normally get him some props. But he crossed the the line by harshing on the host of the event and coming out with the elite attitude. And when he finally started playing his music, it was all about how he didn’t normally play for free and how he was doing the club a favor by appearing.
I normally tip musicians generously. In fact I’ll regularly drop $500L in a night in tips for DJs and Musicos. This guy got zero and we left the club for the night.
IM me In World if want to know the fellows name, so that you can judge for yourself whether his shows deserve your time and tips.
He was rude crude and socially unaccepable. His music sucked too.
I concur with your observations. This guy had ego maniac stamped prominently on his personality. He even went so far as to chastise the audience for the way they were applauding him. Needless to say he got no applause from my friend and me. I venture to say this cat has very “few” adoring fans.
Ok, the next time he plays, we are all going. Just as long as its not at “the spot” cuz I dont wanna disrespect the owner there.
Keep me posted boyz n girlz. I’ll be ready!
