Cher Spotted at the Bluebird
So, like, I'm playing at the Bluebird last night (which is strange enough in itself), accompanying Jason White in a round. And who should walk in but Cher, she of Sonny and Cher, she of "Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves," she of Mask, she of 1,000 costume changes. To see a packed crowd of "shhhh'ed" Bluebird fans trying to whisper inconspicuously was most amusing. Now I fancy myself (quite mistakenly) to be immune to celebrity-sighting gaga-ness, but when an icon (yes, you can bet that word was floating around the Bluebird) of that status shows up, you can't help but lose all sense of dignity and drool like a 3-year-old.
Well, she was all of about eight feet from me, slightly to my left, as I unleashed one blistering guitar lick after another (at least as blistering as an acoustic guitar can be), and I'm pretty sure I saw her checking me out. At one point I even thought I caught her mouthing the words, "I got you, babe" in my direction.
Alas, she snuck out before I got a chance to ask her how awesome she thought I was. If I could turn back time....
Apparently Cher & Co. then headed to Tootsie's, where an overzealous fan got a bit too friendly.
And thanks to Music City TV for the shot above, of Cher outside Tootsie's. Who says we don't have paparazzi here in Nashville?

Jack, I have seen the future of popular music, and it is you. Please contact my management at once. I'd like you to join my band, as long as you don't mind several costume changes per set. And yes, I was checking you out, though you're a little old for my tastes.

Posted 06/25/2008 at 06:48:46 PMI don't recall Nashvillest's story being written by someone who was onstage at The Bluebird when Cher walked in.
Posted 06/25/2008 at 07:16:15 PM1. Maybe it's just me, but I don't see a first-hand account of Cher being at the Bluebird at your website that I've never heard of before. I also don't see you accusing WSMV and NewsChannel5 of "stealing" your story.
2. On that note, you don't hold exclusive rights over news stories. Anybody can report on seeing Cher. I could start StalkingCher.com right now and report all I want about it. Furthermore, your "story" basically amounted to "this happened last night" with zero original information of your own. Plus, you got the story from WKRN! So it's not your story anyway! You would have an argument if Jack copied and pasted what you have on your website word for word but he didn't and you don't.
3. This goes for the Gene Hackman story as well, which, for the record, was reported last Friday by the Belcourt's blog. I'm sure the library loves people promoting their events, but maybe I missed the memo that all Nashville news needs to go through your four week old blog. Although I'm sure "nyer82" loves that you jacked his Hackman photo off of Flickr for your own use.
Ya burnt.
Posted 06/25/2008 at 07:31:15 PMDarlene, WTF?!! Feel free to email or call me at the Scene if you want to discuss. I didn't steal shit from your website, and I took the photo from Music City TV, whom I credited. I was playing at the Bluebird, and if you doubt it I can get about 100 witnesses. So shut your trap and learn a thing or two about actually doing the research or maybe using your brain before accusing someone else of stealing.
Did I miss somewhere on your site that you reported on me playing at the Bluebird last night? Seriously, if you're going to accuse me of plagiarizing, when you're obviously and absurdly in the wrong, at least have the decency to contact me first before you do it on a public forum, ya spineless twerp.
Posted 06/25/2008 at 11:57:47 PMWhat is this Nashvillest? Is it a fake-tan porno site or something, 'cause my cranky corporate computer system won't let me on there. Based on their Nashville Is Talking profile, it looks like they love to rewrite press releases.
