I wonder where the Billie Joe Armstrong thread went...

BWW is still moderated?

Maybe the Billie Joe thread went the way of the Women on the Verge is closing early? thread that was up for 5 seconds and deleted before I could read it...

Well, at least that makes me feel better. I thought that was the third potential closing of the day.

It looks like all of the threads from last night's little troll are gone.

i think the problem is the producers, cast directors etc, knowing that the show is not good enough to stand on its own so they need help badly from the only front man who will give it to them. the guy who wrote the music.

It's like if Dolly Parton came in to play doralee in "9-5". or Elton john came in to play billy's dad, its sad. it's sad because the show is not good enough to stand on its own legs. Without Billy Joe in the show, it would have closed on labor day.

So what do they do now..just keep bringing him in or will the show close on the night of his last performance..cause the producers know they cannot run it without him

Just because grosses are low doesn't mean the show "isn't good enough". Not making money does not automatically mean that a show is bad, just as mass appeal does not equal a great show. It just has a very specific audience.

I'm not denying that the producers aren't bringing him in to up the grosses, but to say that the show isn't good enough is blanketing your own opinion over it as if it's fact.

"Just because grosses are low doesn't mean the show "isn't good enough". Not making money does not automatically mean that a show is bad, just as mass appeal does not equal a great show. It just has a very specific audience. "

By "good enough", he clearly meant selling well enough to stay open on its own. And it's obvious that by that definition, AI, in fact, isn't "good enough."

Everything else is of course subjective, and not worth debating.

Yes I did ghostlight. I have no problem with likening the two. There was nothing rule breaking in that thread, just people who saw through the BS to the real reason he is being brought in.

They tend to not like that...
