I'm sure she was just trying to make a statement or reference, but still, when you have thousands of adoring fans watching your every move with interest you need to think out the various interpretations of that message. Ah well, she is still fabulous and I'm sure her loyal fans will forgive her, her music and spirit are too good to punish for long!

I wasn't looking for a retraction or anything, just appropriate blame. And while I love Feist, I'd be the first in line to complain right along with you. Though as I said above, some people just take things the wrong way sometimes, and so it serves these people right for taking cues where there were none. Anywhosit, interesting little blog, look forward to future entries. Sa’ll good. I wasn’t looking for a retraction or anything, just appropriate blame.

I went back to Feist's site the other day and I read the post on her tour blog about the Winnipeg show. Whoever is writing entries in there (and I do think they should identify themselves, I hate faceless entities) apologized for misleading people into thinking something was happening at the Pyramid. The point of my post remains, though, that people with that kind of influence should be careful of the messages they are sending out to their followers. Gord, you’re right.

At the show I saw she had mom and dad written on the bottom of her shoes. What was I supposed to take this to mean? As a rational individual I took it to mean 'hey mom and dad' or 'thanks mom and dad'. Not 'my mom and dad have secrets to tell everyone, go rush their house'. You can't seriously be mad at Feist that 200 people over reacted in a blind fervor can you? It's unfortunate for those who thought something was going to happen, but from all accounts, it's not even implied that she was thinking of showing up there. I'm not a moron and I understand your point and it's well thought out and might make more sense had there been any sort of backing for Feist actually making the trip.

I am shutting down my pointless blog. Wait a minute. Aren't blogs just everyone in the world's opinions? Aren't I entitled to that? This is the Internet, after all. If I wanted to make a blog about rainbows and unicorns, who would stop me? You have cut me deep, anonymous girl from Calgary (via Winnipeg). I am shutting down my pointless blog.

I don't get it. Please don't keep writing. People still won't get it. I don't blame her. I would want to get out of Winnipeg as quick as possible even if it meant going to Regina.
