In the run up to her Diamonds Tour Team Breezy having been doing their
utmost to ensure that Rihanna has been placed under maximum stress.
This included forcing her to take a 15 hour flight to London for the
retail launch of her River Island clothing line. Then having negotiated
Justin Beiber and his 19 year old c*ck she was forced to touch and hug
random strangers in a humid department store in the middle of winter.
She was then forced to go and touch and hug more random strangers (I
believe they prefer the term 'celebrity') while drinking alcohol in a
humid nightclub in the middle of winter. Then before getting the chance
to question why she wasn't just getting high with me instead she was
forced into another five hours of aeroplane air on the flight back to
Buffalo for intensive dance/vocal rehearsals.
Therefore while no-one ever misses opening night the chances are she was
going to do something like being late, forgetting the lyrics, falling
off the stage or throwing up that would force her to apologise for
tonight's Boston concert. As Boston is the home town (campaign HQ) of
defeated US Presidential candidate Mitt Romney any apology to Boston was
likely to be interpreted as an apology to Romney and the Republican
Party for failing in her and Chris Brown's efforts to have Romney win
the 2012 Presidential Election.
This is unlikely to have gone down well in the not exclusively black but
predominately poor city of Baltimore leading to a tense wait to see how
Rihanna would be received in the city for her next concert on Tuesday
(12/3/13).
This tense wait would have coincided neatly with the start of the Papal
Conclave to choose a new Roman Catholic Pope (still big news in Boston)
and mirrored neatly the tense waits in Kenya, Libya and Syria. Therefore
everyone (particularly Kenya) would be encouraged to show off their
computer skills trying to find out if the Baltimore gig is cancelled due
to Rihanna or you, know the city exploding into riot. That last point
of course has a knock on effect to Rihanna's proposed concerts in Turkey
and Morocco.
So I'm prepared to concede that while Rihanna is feeling a bit grotty
the show must go on. She should though be prepared from the news on
April 5th (5/4/13) that Chris Brown has been charged on multiple counts
ranging from the original assault and various public order offences up
to and including fraud and perverting the course of justice. As part of
his bail conditions he is prevented from leaving the state of
California, going within 1 mile of Rihanna's home or place of work or
contacting her via any electronic means. This includes silly little
stunts for the paparazzi that may be reported in the wider media. After
all we've agreed there will be no African force for Mali until he is
squared away.
Alternatively Rihanna could just cancel the tour now and spend the rest
of the year giving her happy retirement with Chris Brown a test run.
The important thing to remember though is that I'm a bit drunk. I was
planning for a quiet evening but then I got some unsettling news.
