A group of big-boys who, besides feel free of their sins, were violently anxious about seeing the Rolling Stones, had hurled stones at her.   On Monday 03/30 she dropped her Argentinian t-shirt to the floor, as a protest sign, and she left the stage never to return...   She wasn't able to sing even 2 songs.   The next day, she looks very sad at the hotel.   Three fans are with her in that difficult moment: a girl who appeared to be Japanese, another one with a bouquet of flowers and the third one a "nerd" with bangs and glasses, with a "We Love You" sign.

After dropping the coffee, Meredith sits at the head of the table and then she says, "If any of you wants to ask me something about my career or my music, please save it to the end.   First I want to talk about all of this.   I need to talk about what happened."

She says that she is a celebrity, and that this regretable episode will be known through all the world, that she is sorry about this because she knows that not all Argentinians are like this, and that the journalists had been so sweet with her at every moment.   Right from there, the 'chat' became a kind of therapy session where the journalists tried to console the lady.

Meredith said, "Imagine that playing with the Stones is a very important step in my career and now I won't be able to do it.   When I knew that Bob Dylan was also going to come, I got even more disappointed, because he is one of the artists that I admire.   The worst part of all this stuff is that a small group of people not only ruined one of the dreams of my life, they also took away the chance of seeing me and listening to my songs from the people who wanted to.   But I can't risk my and my musicians lives.   Let's not forget that I'm not the only one who had things hurled at me, my musicians got it also, and I'm responsible for them too."

"I was playing," Meredith said, "and I looked at those faces...   Let's be honest, they weren't faces like yours or mine, all the hate of all those ill-mannered people...   They were drunk, they were drugged, they looked like animals, and the truth is that I asked myself:   What have I done to them?"

"I don't want to be a pop-star.   I made an album that speaks about hope, resurrection, waking up, an album that has a very deep message.   What is Rock'n Roll?? It's just an illusion, a moment.   My life is worth more than a show."

Then the more important question came:   was she going to play on Thursday 04/02 and Saturday 04/04?   Meredith said that she wanted to, but she really can't in these conditions.   Her people said, "C'mon, Meredith, everything's gonna be alright."   The journalists also said, "C'mon, try it again."   Someone suggested that maybe the Stones should present her.   Meredith said that they were so gentle with her, that Mick Jagger came to greet her, but that she didn't think that it would be good.   "I must take care of myself.   I don't know if it's good to shield myself on them."

With a melancholic smile, even more melancholic because of her eye, Meredith says, "As in the first concert it was all wrong, I thought that it could be a good idea to wear the Argentinian football t-shirt, as a peace sign, but I see it didn't work though."

Then she says, "I'm sorry, I was supposed to be beautiful now but I'm awful.   All this stuff has overwhelmed me."

it's awesome!! even better than mine's (because she confused the cds) the one you're going to receive say carla in the bottom on the last page.. LOL I just wanted to ask her who had painted the girl with the guitar! but it was so fast! I hadn't even time to say her that I liked her music! so I said, hi I'm Carla c-a-r- ok.. she signed your cd, and then I said something about if she's really going to play here but she didn't really answered.. I guess she's not going to play :(

so I said and this one is for a friend called Brandon and she signed it (my cd!) ROTFL I put my fingers on all over my cd I'm stupid! ;) but yours is even great 'cos she didn't sign the cover, where she's with a guitar, she signed the part of the child playing the guitar that's where I had it opened to ask her who had painted it... and then the whole band signed it!! :) ROB LADD!!!!!! cute boy! great drummer!

YEAP!, the drummer of Jagged Little Pill! :) and the other guys! he put a peace sign on both cds! I wanted her to write for me a paragraph of her best song but when she signed your cd there was another girl in the quenue so I had to go.

Did you remember to buy me the Meredith Brooks first cd? COol! if you see any single please buy it for me, I know soon she'll release "Stop" I forgot to tell you, before to play with the Rolling Stones she played in the hard rock cafe and I went to see her just cos maybe I can get some autograph for Rob, I couln't get the autograph but I see her and she was at 50cm of me! It was great even I thought she was about to fall over me 'cos she played like crazy!! :) I want to see her again! sometimes i hate the stupids who threw her things! they must be on jail now! it was her dream! they're heartless and intolerant She said she's going to play on Atlanta and Houston.. maybe I don't remember if she said Houston (yeap, I also went to her last press conference, it was just 5 blocks of my house :) (that's where she said she's going to be signing autographs) to film the video she supposed to film here... she's also playing with the rolling stones in US...
