I have no connections, just a fan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2387168343559203366.post-78040946383219940592008-05-17T15:16:00.000-07:002008-05-17T15:16:00.000-07:00money,,,,compensated sorry for the typos, Guess...money,,,,compensated sorry for the typos, Guess, I appeared stupid instead of crass :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2387168343559203366.post-11121106852477641992008-05-17T15:13:00.000-07:002008-05-17T15:13:00.000-07:00At the expense of appearing crass,,,,just how much...At the expense of appearing crass,,,,just how much maoney do you make having a role on Broadway.

WTF...People are complaining about him on Broadway? WTF... he is doing exactly what he needs to be doing. Keeping his face and name out there. Network, network and more network. The more people you know, the more opportunities come your way.<BR/><BR/>I am very happy for Taylor. Now I have got to figure out how to get enough money to go see the show and have enough left for when his new cd tour starts!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2387168343559203366.post-86219872342623565232008-05-16T16:12:00.000-07:002008-05-16T16:12:00.000-07:00I think it is a great opportunity for him though s...I think it is a great opportunity for him though some of the fanbase are somewhat stunned.<BR/><BR/>What do they want him to do? Stay in Birmingham all summer, sitting in with bands he's played with many times over and not grow musically? Play a paid gig here and there? Play a benefit occassionally? Sit around and wait for cd to come out and tour to happen?<BR/><BR/>-OR-<BR/><BR/>Get off his arse and go do something that is a stretch, a challenge while he works on new cd? Possibly gain a whole different set of new fans? Spend the summer in freaking NYC? Be near infamous NYC recording studios? Hit the after-hours NYC blues clubs and sit in with different musicians?<BR/><BR/>Gee, doesn't sound like the rumblings of the naysayers makes sense, does it?<BR/><BR/>Soul Thing - sorry for the long thesis, PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2387168343559203366.post-30787609981620976602008-05-16T08:11:00.000-07:002008-05-16T08:11:00.000-07:00Taylor needed this publicity. I'm seeing his name...Taylor needed this publicity. I'm seeing his name out there on alot of entertainment news blogs today. <BR/><BR/>This is a perfect move for him (despite what a few other fans may think). He gets tons of exposure and is a win win situation for Taylor. He will make money this summer so that he can get back out on the road promoting his new CD with that kick-ass band he had on his last tour (which I'm sure is not cheap). Way to go Taylor!<BR/><BR/>(berney)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2387168343559203366.post-51664624716933500732008-05-16T05:17:00.000-07:002008-05-16T05:17:00.000-07:00What a great thing for Taylor..even more exposure....What a great thing for Taylor..even more exposure. He will do great. I can see him with big feathery wings flying over the stage. I wonder if he'll be wearing leotards? <BR/><BR/>Will this interfere with the Wolf Trap gig/Sgt. Pepper thing?
