I'm falling apart...
Some will find this sad, but some will understand perfectly.
I am actually sitting here crying because Geffen Records is doing a fantastic job of fucking up everything for Lifehouse and is basically trying to take away everything that used to make seeing them so special.
The "Lifehouse Club" for $40 a year. Exclusive chat! Presale tickets! Member-only meet and greets! "Front row tickets"? WHAT...THE...HELL?
I've always gotten front row because I've earned it, not because I've paid for it. They've always come out to chat because they wanted to, not because our names are on some magical list.
Geffen seems to think that they're going to need bigger venues. How? With their half-assed attempts at promotion, this first-week sales for this album were worse than any other album they've released. The music video for the single isn't released yet, and the album has been out for a week. The album art and advertising is creeping out the biggest fans, how the hell do they think the general public is going to respond? Geffen fucked them over and anyone who says otherwise cannot be right in the head.
We're leaving on our Lifehouse roadtrip tomorrow night, and I can no longer decide how I feel about it. I mean, if all this is just Geffen's idea, then okay, yeah, it's the music business so make some money. But if it was Lifehouse's idea? Then I don't know who they are anymore. Which is ironic, given the album title of "Who We Are." If this is who they've become, I don't know if I can handle it.
