Meanwhile, Audience Extras, a firm that provides members with free tickets to undersold shows, Guess they didn't have enough members to bail out the Dixie Chicks.

"THE heckler at Barbra Streisand's MSG concert Monday night may have been a right-wing plant who's taunted her before, her publicist says. 'There's something a little weird about it,' said Ken Sunshine, noting there was a similar-sounding shouter at the diva's Philadelphia show last week."
Don't question the Great and Powerful Flabs Streisand. Pay no attention to Howard Dean behind the curtain.

'I'M SURE President Bush is a very nice guy, but some people voted for him because they thought he was a person they could have a beer with. What is that about?! Do you want to have a beer with the doctor who's going to operate on you, or do you want him to be the top of his class . . . be a bit in awe of him?"
So says Barbra Streisand in the new issue of O
Oooo, now I have a image of having a beer with Babs.

a firm that provides members with free tickets to undersold shows I read that Babs told the heckler to 'shut the f--k up' and asked him if he wanted his money back. He could have responded with, 'Money? What money? Are you saying that some of these people actually paid to see this piece of crap?"

She's an idiot. I recently watched a series on the history of the US Presidency. "Top of their class" egghead types have never been the choice of the voting public. Rugged individualists, "regular" guys, plain talkers, etc., feature much more prominently.

Politics is a rough-and-tumble business. If entertainers do not want to deal with it, they should keep politics out of their acts. However, if they are going to be overtly political on stage, they can and should expect a response from the audience.
We should not roll over and be polite when the Donks are obnoxious. We should give back as good as we get. Otherwise it is a one-way ratchet, where they can criticise us with impunity and never pay a price.
Babs has only herself to blame. If she is going to parody the President on stage, I would hope that the entire audience would turn their backs as a group. However, since we are talking about Streisand fans, who by and large seem to have a preference for that sort of thing, that's not going to happen. If conservative activists have to pay somebody to be there and listen to that dreck in order to make sure our voices can be heard, so be it.
Drop the skit, and the "stalker" goes away.

From what I read there was more than one person "heckling" her over her juvenile political remarks. Shut up and sing you old hag.

As much as "Babs" nauseates me, if the tickets weren't so expensive I would go to her show JUST to heckle her.
(If that sounds like a right-wing conspiracy - it is.)

Cue up George from Seinfeld:
"That's quite the pile of hair you've got there, Sunshine! The gray's kinda got that "distinguished" thing going on, you know what I mean, huh? But, "Sunshine?" C'mon! What, your mother and father not good enough for you or something? Fancy-schmancy, that's what you are. Fancy-schmancy!"

Audience Extras! That's pretty low; but then again I remember empty seats at the 2000 "Timeless" show in NYC. Interestingly, AE demands that members not reveal who they are once they get to the theatre - the producers say it impacts their box office.

Do you want to have a beer with the doctor who's going to operate on you, or do you want him to be the top of his class . . . be a bit in awe of him? Hey, Babs, why don't you check your hero, Jean Cherie's, grades. Bush got higher grades than he did. How about your other hero, Algore? He failed out of divinity school and dropped out of law school.

Audience Extras isn't free. You pay a membership fee then get discounted tickets.

Did she ever cover that Who song...you know, the one with the words, "hope I die before I get old..."
cause, you know, and I mean this sincerely, she hasn't aged gracefully, and sort of puts the fear of God in me about getting older.

If I may play headshrinker for a moment, Babs famously lost her father at an early age. According to her it made a huge impact, that her father was not part of her life for long. Maybe that's why she's often gone for the strong Svengali types (Jon Peters for instance) and why she prefers to be in awe of men with power. How James Brolin fits into the picture is a mystery, except maybe she's in awe of the fact that someone so good-looking would want her. Maybe he's the male version of a shiksa goddess. :)
