This is one of those days. We had four goals to meet in order to bring you fresh content today, and so far, we’re not any closer to meeting those objectives than when we mapped out the strategy yesterday during a typical Pollstar.com high-powered bean burrito and martini luncheon.

Today was supposed to start with an exclusive interview with Elton John, where the pop legend would talk about his salad days with his songwriting partner, Bernie Taupin. However, while in the Pollstar.com Green Room, Elton took a disliking to our tour date venue editor. After a couple of lighting-fast uppercuts to the chin, our editor was curled up in a fetal position on the floor and Elton was storming out the door muttering something about the “bloody wimp.”

After Elton, Britney Spears was supposed to stop by with the snake that she performed with at the Music Video Awards. We’re still not too sure what happened, but it was around the time Britney was signing autographs for the entire staff that the snake disappeared, as well as our groupie migration researcher, our tour-bus cataloger and a neighborhood boy who no one seems to know very much about. Needless to say, Britney was so devastated that she took out her frustrations on our floor manager and dropped him with a couple of well-placed karate kicks to the solar plexus.

And finally, there was that attempt at taping a true, “Barbara Walters” type moment where, during an interview with Insane Clown Posse, we had Eminem do a surprise walk-on. It was about the time of the group hug when the explosion took place. At least, that’s what we think. We really won’t know anything until the bomb squad finishes sifting through the remains of Studio B.

Yes, it was just one of those days when nothing seemed to go our way. The Elton John interview, Britney and her snake, plus ICP mending their differences with the Real Slim Shady; it all blew up in our collective faces. Boy, talk about being embarrassed!

However, we were able to achieve our fourth goal, which was filling this space with about 391 words for another day. Hmmm, we suppose one out of four isn’t all that bad. See ya tomorrow.
