Janet’s Tour, Legalized Gambling & the Second Crown


Janet’s Tour, Legalized Gambling & the Second Crown

No matter what you may have done or achieved in the past you must think of this as Day Zero: the day when your life begins all over again. A new moon on your birthday means a new start is not only possible but utterly desirable. Reinvent yourself.
A new moon in the sympathetic sign of Scorpio will open your eyes to new possibilities and remind you that life is what you make of it, not the other way round. Others may scoff at your plans but pay them no heed. Genius is not something they're used to.

It will take money to reinvent me; I got a little financial relief so that I may get the work done on my teeth. I want to replace one gold crown with another one and I want a gold framed porcelain fixture, that means I will be crowned a second time. People wonder why I wear gold in my mouth, will wouldn’t I look like a clown with crown on my head. It just seems appropriate that the Word should wear his crowns in his mouth. Yea it might be a little country, but the purpose is served. I might replace my bridge if I can afford it now; it is not an emergency like my crowns but is a long term need and has to be done in the next year or two.

My mind is set, I will be working on my music the next 6 weeks or so, especially over the weekends, I have Saturday set aside for Janet’s concert there will be showers on that day and on the subject of the tour: Before I go there I want to mention, I think Janet should purchase Google Earth, if I am right you can purchase the use of the live satellite and actually see people leave there apartment in the morning, that is how the news gets pictures of word events, it’s an effective tool, I am not sure about the price or security clearances if any.

I think Janet should consider playing smaller venues for the next month or two, November and December, she started off hot and got sick and hurt consumer confidence and the economy went down the drain, she is still pulling about 9,000 so I hear, but they are renting 20,000 capacity venues and with her stage they can only accommodate about 13,000 or 14,000 at most. Why not reduce the supply which are the number of seats and increase the demand by creating an urgency to purchase the tickets before selling out the show until people regain confidence that at least 90% to 95% of the time she will appear at the venue as scheduled. I would play the casino circuit and theaters that hold between 6,000 and 9,000 capacity crowds until we get a string of sell outs. I mean Prince have done it and the Jackson Five even played Radio City Music Hall between hits, this is a business decision to book shows quicker and add shows to the tour, reduce the overhead on venue rental and pay the entourage, until we regain the demand and maybe even add Michael to the World Tour Leg.

Aside from that we have to start lobbying politically to legalize Casino Gambling in New York City, we need to put money behind the idea and promote it and on the subject of promotions, Janet is not being promoted in New York City and the show is only in 4 days, I want to hear her on the radio and I want to see billboards on cabs and buses, this can be a tour defining show. Even if she is about sold out us as purchasers of tickets to the show deserve the hype and added excitement. I can go on and on today but that is it in a nut shell, book Janet in smaller venues for a month or two, promote the damn tour and bring the legalized gambling proposition to the forefront of New York City in the Newspapers, radio and television.
