I'd like to chime in about my experience meeting Bluebird. When BW played a great show in Boston at the Pavilion, I'd say 4 years ago I bought a single ticket because my wife was traveling.
I had a seat 1/2 way back, which I thought was pretty cool; an ailse seat and plenty of room to stretch. Now, prior to that, a bunch of us had met at Jimmy's Harborside for some drinks and grub, and Bluebird didn't show up. Have to admit, I was curious to finally meet the Bird, and I finally did as I walked through the gate at the Pavilion. We talked for a bit, shared a beer, of which I ended up with an 1/8, and then the show came on. I settled into my seat, and then Bluebird waved to me to join her in the front row. I did, and enjoyed a great show front and center. She did not have to do that, and I will always be grateful to her for what I will always perceive as an act of unabashed kindness on her part. I'm quite sure I had John Moon's ticket ( I think Bluebird mentioned that), so possibly her marriage with him was crumbling at that point - I don't know. We all had a couple of drinks afterward at the Seaport Grille ( you've been there, Mr. Steve! :), and when we left I gave Bluebird money for cab fare and said goodbye. She may be reading this, maybe not - but I think we can all agree that she is someone who has fallen on hard times, most likely a person with emotional issues - pathetic to say the least. No excuse to scam someone like Donna, but desperation brings out in the worst in all of us - again, no excuse. Maybe I'm naive, but I truly think she aims to pay you back Donna, but just can't. I dunno, I guess she's a screwed up chick hitting 60 with no future. Count our blessings, huh? So, maybe we should all back off a bit?
