A long, long time ago and what seems like several lifetimes (actualy it was in the early 70"s), I worked as a reporter. This means that I got to cover concerts and interview the artists. So to keep thjis short, on one assignment I covered a Thanksgiving concert at Six flags over Texas featuring Bread. The opening act was Helen Ready. I got off late and missed the press conference but still had lots of time to kill before the concert began. They had two shows scheduled. An hour after I got there, I was in line for a ride and Ms ready and her husband was in front of me. After I introduced myself, we spent the rest of the day visiting. She also told me that after her 2nd show she would give me an exclusive interview because I was so nice to escort them around the park and give them such a detailed history of the place and about Texas. Ms Ready blew Bread away in the first show and half way through her second act, Bread sent word via a spokes person that the weather had turned too cold for them to perform and that theyt have already left the park. Needless to say the crowd was very unhappy. Ms Ready took control of the situation and told the crowd that if it was Ok with them, she would finish her show and them puill out some new material and do a jam session for another 45 minutes. The crowd cheered this anouncement. I got to sit back stage during both shows and when she finished the extended set, I could see she was cold and tired and told her I would understand if she wished to bow out of my interview. Ms Ready told me no she would do the interview. It wasn't my fault that Bread bugged out. She keeps her promises. I got a great interview and a new appreciation for a singer that I already liked. As for Bread, They made my don't play list very quickly. To this day I still won't listen to them. I know that this can work both ways.
