I happened to see Eric is on there and charges $99 Also on Cameo is the lead singer from Ratt, who charges $150 I'm pretty sure Eric should be worth more than the guy from Ratt. If somebody offered me $150 to listen to Out of the Cellar in one sitting, I'd turn it down.  |

I watched a few of those cameo videos. Something cringe worthy about them, although I guess the recipients would get a kick out of 'em. Eric is the same price as Michael Cohen, the NY lawyer/fixer. I've resisted offers to do this.

Sadly, I had to Google "Cameo" to see just WHAT it was... now that I know what it is, I have to say, it does seem slightly erm... grubby... obviously, the logic goes - if a fan has disposable income, and the object of that fandom is willing to say "Hi Bob, how's it going?" for $150 - or whatever - then WHAT is the problem..? It's win-win... both sides are happy with the transaction... and I CAN understand the logic of it, it makes perfect sense... but, still, it does leave me feeling somewhat deflated... > Something cringe worthy about them
That's my feeling also... As fans, we tend to place the object(s) of our devotion upon artistic - but ultimately unrealistic - pedestals, and it seems sad when we have to come to terms with the fact that mundane, financial realities can conspire to muddy those particular idealistic waters.. I'm sure Eric would be the first to say - your "artistic pedestals" nonsense will NOT pay my utility bills, and my royalties from "Subhuman" and "Goin' Through the Motions" are limited at best... please stick your hurt sensibilities where the sun don't shine... An argument to which I have no answer...  |

Yeah, maybe times are changing with the internet and all. I've done stuff like these videos, but it's always been a special circumstance, not regular commerce.

Weird as it may be, I've always felt (since the advent of platforms like Cameo, anyway) that "unprovoked" communication was more meaningful for the recipient. I mean, I still get a little shiver whenever I see you have liked or commented on one of my posts here...to say nothing of the more personal interactions we've had over the years. I'm sure *you* don't remember, but I sure do (most of them, at least...strokes and tumors have diminished my memories in some cases), and to me that's the nexus of the contact. If that makes me sound like a fanboy, then so be it---I'll wear that shirt. I've been a faithful and ardent fan for almost four decades, so. |

Someone on reddit posted his, where is wife bought him NYE tickets, and had Bloom tell him via Cameo. Seemed like a good use of the system

Last month, my kids got me a birthday message from Eric Bloom on Cameo. It made my day.
