This morning I sent an e-mail to which he responded by phone and : agreed to ALL of my demands to resolve this issue of the improper use of my : name. : : Today I received 11 e-mail letters from cats who see nothing wrong with a : person's name being listed on a flyer as a SPECIAL INVITED GUEST. : Furthermore, they asked why I was making such a big deal about it, and : thought I should be honored by the invitation. Well, I was honored! But how : fine is the honor if it is bitter sweet? : I understand that many of us on this list are in various countries throughout : the world where the laws governing such matters are different. However, being : here in the USA, let me try to make my point by using an example . . . . . : : . . . . LET'S SAY I DECIDED TO THROW A PARTY AT THE STATE THEATER IN DETROIT : ON CHRISTMAS NIGHT. I THEN DRAFT A LETTER OF INVITATION TO MICHAEL JACKSON. I : THEN FAX THE LETTER TO MICHAEL JACKSON'S MANAGEMENT COMPANY. I NEVER GET A : RESPONSE FROM MICHAEL JACKSON, OR ANY OF HIS REPRESENTATIVES. HOWEVER, I TAKE : IT UPON MYSELF TO MAKE FLYERS ADVERTISING MY CHRISTMAS PARTY AT THE STATE : THEATER WITH SPECIAL INVITED GUEST - MICHAEL JACKSON! : : I ASK YOU, MY FRIENDS, HOW LONG DO YOU THINK IT WOULD TAKE BEFORE MICHAEL'S : LEGAL TEAM WOULD TAKE ACTION AGAINST ME? WOULD I BE WRONG TO ADVERTISE : MICHAEL'S NAME AS A SPECIAL INVITED GUEST? AFTER ALL, I DIDN'T SAY THAT HE : WAS GOING TO PERFORM RIGHT? I DIDN'T EVEN SAY THAT HE WAS GOING TO BE THERE. : ALL I SAID WAS THAT HE WAS A SPECIAL INVITED GUEST. IN FACT, I COULD PROVE : THAT I DID INDEED INVITE MR. JACKSON BY PRESENTING THE LETTER ALONG WITH A : COPY OF THE VERIFIED FAX TRANSMISSION TO MICHAEL'S MANAGEMENT WHICH STATES : THAT I AM INVITING HIM TO ATTEND MY EVENT. SO I ASK YOU GOOD PEOPLE, IF MIKE, : NOR HIS PEOPLE RESPOND TO MY INVITATION, DO I HAVE THE RIGHT TO USE HIS NAME : IN ANY MANNER (EVEN AS A SPECIAL INVITED GUEST) IN PROMOTION OF MY EVENT????? : : : WHY DID I MAKE SUCH A BIG DEAL ABOUT THIS? BECAUSE I HAVE TO TAKE A STAND ON : WHAT I BELIEVE IS RIGHT, NOT ONLY BECAUSE IT AFFECTS ME, BUT BECAUSE SOMEDAY : (IF NOT TODAY) IT COULD AFFECT YOU! : MY POSITION WAS BASED UPON A PRINCIPLE WHICH IS PERSONAL TO ME, BUT COMMON TO : ALL OF US. : : FOR THE RECORD DELANO SMITH FELT AS I DID, AND ALSO EXPRESSED HIS CONCERN : OVER BEING LISTED ON THE FLYER. AS I UNDERSTAND IT, : HE TOO HAS RESOLVED HIS ISSUE WITH THE PROMOTER. : : Peace & Respect, : : TP : www.TerrenceParker.com : 1.248.784.7233 : : --------------------------------------------------------------------- : To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] : For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] :
