Mairead is wonderful. Ill tell you a story that I was just told this week that really pissed me off. There is a fan who gave her a gift at one of the meet and greets. Mairead loved it and was suprised that this person was made this gift all on his own. The next day this person was in the hotel lobby where he was staying and it happened to be the same hotel that CW was staying at. Mairead and this person saw each other and made eye contact so this person went to her. As he approach Rachel Davis the tour manager prevented him from conversing with Mairead. I was told that the look Mairead gave him was unmistakable, that she really wanted to talk to him but was under the control of the management. The next thing I was told is the part that really pisses me off. Mairead started to cry. Dave Kavanagh and Scott Porter are totally controling these peoples every move. As I stated earlier, they are all treated like slaves. Now I know Mairead and I can tell you that she loves her fans and really enjoys talking to them. When we were in Toronto in March 2006 after the show we waited for her but the person who came down with me went back to the hotel we were staying at and missed Mairead when she finally came out. Mairead kept asking me "Where's Rickie, where's Rickie". When I explained to her that Rickies went back to the hotel due to the cold weather Mairead was really bummed. This was in the early days prior to the tightening of the control from Kavanagh and Porter.

Any fan who says that these people shouldnt attempt to change this situation either by attempting a coup from within or disbanding to eliminate this situation is no better then David Kavanagh. What all these performers are subjected to including the choir and stage hands amounts to slavery. They are given no free time. Are prevented by "the master" of free association. Cannot answer emails etc. Sadly there re too many fans that think this tpye of contol is OK and the decption thats going along with it. I can tell you that I know evil when I see it and what these people are being subjected to is pure EVIL.
