<< "I have tix for 5 dates so far--- waiting for Natalie Toro's date to be announced, so it might end up being 6 !"

You have got to be kidding. Something tells me you have Barbour-level boundary issues yourself. >>

"I" have issues? "Pot.. meet kettle" !!! LOL

No issues at all, here. Like the venue. Like the performer.
Going with my wife, and taking some friends.

Most Barbour fans have weird boundary issues.

If you stop and think about it, the only people REAL issues are the ones that care about the performers and/or shows that other people like.

Okay, I'm stopping and I'm thinking about it, and I'm thinking about it and I'm thinking about it. And I still can't make it make any sense.

hey testing-

im also really confused by what that comment meant? clarify please! thanks =)

also, im a big fan of james barbour. i saw in him concert at a small theatre in west palm beach while i was in high school and have just been obsessed with his voice ever since. that being said, i'm not going to chastise people for making jokes at his expense. he's had two separate charges, one in CA, brought against him for sexual acts with a minor. he knew full well that the girl in nyc was 15. that's a choice he made, and so is having a career that puts one's personal life in the spotlight. i respect this man immensely as a performer, but his crime is not something someone get's to live down...

mels...first, get your facts straight if you are going to make such a comment. Yes, it seems the "usual suspects" do have a "thing" about Barbour (they should look at THEIR boundaries for trashing another human being whom they have not enough facts and info about, except what has been ironically and ignorantly put out there...DON"T get me started!).

what??

my facts are QUITE straight. i read several different legitimate sources(including the new york times) stating exactly what i said. do the research and you'll see.

why did you say "such a comment" i didnt attack anyone on here, on either side, or say anything so outlandish. the man is a talented performer, but he committed a crime. the first statement is my opinion, the second is a fact, what's so incendiary?

also, what on earth did you just say? who are the "usual suspects"? and what does "except what has been ironically and ignorabeen put out there" mean??

(less importantly, you used "whom" incorrectly, however, if im not mistaken...which i may be.. "of whom" could be used instead)

He admitted that he had sexual contact with her and had known her real age. What more do you want?

And what about trashing the girl who was involved? I've had this discussion a lot and usually the people who defend Barbour say that the girl was an ambitious, money-hungry tramp who wanted it. So, it's not okay to insult Barbour, but it's okay to insult and blame the girl?

omg no that's terrible!

a 15-year-old girl does not understand the ramifications of something like that. she probably was really excited that someone she looked up to liked her and she wanted to act like a adult so he'd like her...

Yes, and that's even assuming that she was okay with it. I've been arguing all along that there's just as much support for the possibility that maybe she was coerced into it.

Of course, we'll never know for sure and I fully admit that. However, even if she was fine with it, it doesn't make the act any less illegal or irresponsible.

"Of course, we'll never know for sure and I fully admit that"--SporkGoddess.
...then, why are we trying to pretend that we know exactly what happened? Because that is the way it comes accross when you and others post about this subject. No offense, but you really sound pretentious. As ALREADY debated before, the courts made a decision, wether right or wrong, in someone's life, the defender has done time for it, and now it is time to move on. I am not sure why some of you think this "needs" to be brought up. Anyone who is a fan of Barbour (or not, but is familiar with Broadway), ALREADY knows this. What exactly is the point now?
I feel sorry for testing, who just wanted to share excitement for this concert, and to exchange info with other fans...their post was derailed into an abism of "off subject" (in other words, nothing to do with the concert), pointless remarks :{

And mels, about facts...there was no case in CA, only a "third party" testimony. The actual party mentioned was willing to testify "in favor" of the defendant (read a bit more about it, and see personal testimonies from people in court).
BTW...I might be wrong also, but I believe since my sentence was ended with "about" (about whom), the "whom" is allowed. However, I will follow up on your comment for my clarification. Thanks for the heads up.
