I had asked a while back about if anyone knows about
the MB Gold Club and why it went out. No one seemed
to have an answer, then the fan club took forever to
answer, and when it did, they sent me this, which only
add to the confusion. To me it looks like oe hand
doesn't know what the other hand is doing when it
comes to fan business--I always remember a fan club
being a FAN club, something for the fans to enjoy--not
chase around trying to figure out how to be a fan. In
the words of Dennis Miller: "Of course that's just my
opinion...I could be wrong..."
THEN...I'm trying to find out more about the new
album, and can't find a thing anywhere. Because I'm
no longer a Gold Club member, I'm essentially no
longer a fan club member (and can't afford to become
one again) so I don't have the means to get more info.
Worse still...I can't find Jive Records anywhere, and
i used to....
Should we be afraid of Michael (and ultimately us
fans) getting gipped?
