Hate Mail! "Snarky, snarky, snarky"
Dear Sean,
I was one of the 10,000 people that paid to go to the St. Pete Times Forum last Wednesday and I just had to respond to your review of Fleetwood Mac. It seems to me that your snarky little commentary was more about judging and criticizing these Rock Legends' lives than it was about their music.
It was a great show and the songs were exactly what we all went to hear -- if they played anything else, we would have been disappointed. Those performers got up on stage and worked their asses off for 2 hrs. and 20 minutes -- they sounded instrumentally and vocally very much the way they did 40 years ago when they were in their 20s. It was a thrill to see Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham, Mick Fleetwood and John McVuie and I hope they keep on performing as long as they can.
As I said, Sean, your downer little review was snarky, snarky, snarky and I hate to think of people reading it and believing it. Maybe your years at the St. Pete Times are what have made you such a negative, judgmental person.
Your review was a lot more positive then the one Spears posted on the Stuck In The 80's blog from another reporter.

The person who wrote that started with "Dear Sean" so it wasn`t all bad.Haha! Focus on the positive part of the letter.

Did this person read the same review that I did? I thought that your review was pretty positive.

What are you doing up at 6 a.m. blogging?
Oh hate mail... some people should really find better things to do, such as pay attention to this blog.

Gosh Sean stop being so snarky and mean! It is people that are outsiders to the Pop Life world that always seem to think you are a downer and negative. We still love you around here, no matter what you say in a concert review :)

I think (and that's just my opinion) that people assume because a band has been given the title of "rock legends" that all reviewers will give them high praise based on their endurance alone. It is a major feat to be relevant in the face of pop-tart divas. However, you gave YOUR review and I know you'll stick by it.
Snarkily yours
Marissa

Everybody is entitled to their own opinion.
