Liberal Musican Michelle Branch Strikes Out at Santana, Fans On Official Website
The Superfical & Wreckers Band Site (her new group) ^ | December 6, 2005 | Michelle Branch

Posted on 12/06/2005 9:48:59 AM PST by gopwinsin04

Alright, I don't why I am still awake as I have to be up in a few hours to feed Owen.

What I am most frustrated at is that I pay money to keep this website up so all of you 'fans' can talk about our music. Why would I want to spend that money so the majority of you can sit around and b*tch about us?

I understand that you are frustrated that there's isn't any new music for you guys to listen to. We finished this record over a year ago and sent on a lame ass tour we didn't want to be on.

It was a horrible idea to headline a show playing music that no one had ever heard. Maverick wanted to make a quick buck and unfortunately were were obligated by contract to do so.

Then I got pushed into a Santana song that I didn't want to do. The record wasn't released because Maverick didnt wan't me promoting an album pregnant.

As far as biting the hand that feeds you: I would give nothing more than to play music in a sh*tty bar and fold clothes at the Gap for a living.

I'm fine financially and being a famous musician has brought nothing into my life except strife. This isn't fun for me anymore. I'm sick of getting my music heard, putting on a fake smile, and saying things that are acceptable.

I never wanted to be put on a pedestal, I just wanted to make music. It's too much energy to to pretend it's fun.

You can call me a baby if you like, but life is too short to spend it being miserable. You know, I CAN take criticism, I just don't know why I should be for an arena to let you do it.

Millionare teenage angst in modern America.

She should be thanking God for her talent, her fans, her opportunities, and her life.

It's funny...they always complain AFTER they've made their millions. She had the choice to continue to play in crappy bars and fold clothes at Gap. She chose otherwise.

While, i tried to read through this pity party, But i didn't see anything about Santana other than she sang one of his songs.

Also, I didn't realize how much it sucked to have a family and be fine financially. Must suck to not have been smart enough to read the small print in the contracts.

We finished this record over a year ago and sent on a lame ass tour we didn't want to be on.

If I were Michelle, I'd start learning the words to 'Ding Fries Are Done'.

That's what Michelle is really PO'ed about. If she had enough money, she wouldn't have to sit up all night on the computer complaining about how much money her fans are 'costing her.'

The Santana song that she is whining about being "pushed into" was more widely played than any of her own songs. It still receives airplay, while I never hear any of her previous songs anymore. So why is the fool complaining about something that gains her notoriety?

Then she complains about having to tour to promote her music.

Then she complains about being in the limelight that gave her all the money she has.

Then she complains about the fans that buy her records.

Then she complains that she may be called a baby, even though she is clearly acting like one. Not to mention shooting herself in the foot.

In a few years, all the money will be gone, and she'll be back playing in those crappy bars that she talks about, and wishing she had the fame that she's whining about now. She better get used to being miserable.
