hey jason, remember me? i hung with you and your friend at the mayan, and we sang our hearts out together? that was awesome! obviously jack is unaware that you're the biggest thing in los angeles county! haha, inside joke
anyway, thought i'd throw in my 3 cents here. first of all, no need to lock this thread. remember, if you don't like it, don't use your finger to press that button and read, no one's forcing you, just grumpily move on to the next thread that does please you.
i don't ask for autograph's anymore, just because, personally i think it's silly. the only reason i can see asking for an autograph is to have a reason to talk to a complete stranger whose face and work i am familiar with. i wouldn't try to see any monetary value in it. unless, i ran across marilyn monroe's autograph in a trunk in my grandma's attic, or something. but if i had that personal opportunity to be in the presence of someone i admired, i might say hi, but not ask them for something. anymore. and the pictures, "can i have a picture", to prove that i met this famous person, we didn't actually have a conversation other than, "can i have a picture with you?" i've done that too, but not anymore.
sorry you had that experience, jason. could it be possible, he thought you were someone else? maybe someone who had harassed him in the past? maybe it was your tone, or sense of desperation, sorry. did you say this over people's heads, like hey! me! me! because i can see that feeling a little....ugh, tiresome. jack can't stop people from trying to talk to him on the street, but he can control his own little backstage environment. maybe you didn't adhere to the dress code, who knows.
imagine all the things you can do that he can't do. he can't do anything or go anywhere without being recognized. and it's all his fault......that people can't control themselves, i mean, that he's famous. i'm not saying you were screaming and jumping up and down, but maybe you were! haha jk
most people, when your job is over, and you go to get gas in your car, people aren't approaching you to tell you how awesome of an accountant/mechanic/grocery bagger/librarian/bank teller/etc. you are, or asking you something incredibly inappropriate like if you're effing your coworker, while standing in line at the bank. you are a stranger. not him. he's talked to about his job and his personal life everywhere he goes, wanting from him. wanting a chat, wanting a handshake, wanting him to say hi to the person they're talking to on their cell phones, wanting a picture, wanting an autograph, wanting wanting wanting! he might have felt like he just already gave all of himself to you.
we do love our idols though. i've traveled to nashville 3 times so far, to la and to eugene to see him, so obviously i'm his "biggest fan", haha, jk. i've been in close proximity to jack on several occasions, but ive never asked for anything. i figure, one less person he has to pacify for the day, is a gift he didn't even know i gave him. i did tell him to slow down, once, over my shoulder, as he came barreling into the tmr parking lot. if he had heard me, i'm sure he probably wouldn't have appreciated that either, hahaha.
