That''s the difference ... you did read it here ... the yahoo.com
blog ...
all about the wonderful American star Barbra Streisand ... she has
been entertaining millions for
years upon years and she is doing it
even today at 65 years old.
She has booked a
world tour mostly European at our end .. and I
read this morning that she has cancelled her concert in Rome ... due,
they say, to Italian protests over the high cost of tickets which were
somewhere in the region of £100 a ticket ... she is moving on
from Rome to Vienna .... goodness gracious me, I hope she doesnt
meet with too much protesting there. I must admit although I just
love Vienna, its ancient city streetrs, theatre and cafe society and
especially the
opera ... we always visit the Opera myself and my son..
I cannot see the conservative Viennese citizens making too much
fuss about Barbra Streisand. But I wait the outcome of her concert.
They have had the Rolling Stones who were personally invited by
Nokia to Vienna to perform at a big performance. I heard that
there was the odd tut! tut! about the ancient of days Rolling
Stones on the boards yet again .. as they are well past retiring
age. Long may they and Streisand continue entertaining the world!
I must admit ten years ago I had a similar complaint at Istanbul
Ataturk Airport, from a European Gentleman but it was about
the Queen of England .. he said, he hoped she would "retire"
and let her family take over her position and her job! Alas! that
wasnt to be, and the Queen of England still works as an 80
something in Britain and across the world!.
In fact she seems to have set a precedent for all of us doing it as we
need the money ... will we be as successful at working as the Queen of
England! I hope and pray we do but I hesitate a little as I wasnt born
with a silver spoon unlike the British Royal family and in my world
every single penny counts .... but I did win the Silver Pen for Poetry in
Ireland in 2004!! It all helps!
I pray it all turns out well ... excellent blog ... yahoo.com .. keep on
reading the blog ... great stuff!
