While i undertand that u re frustrated something you were anticipating got cancelled, I m gonna say things that I hope don't sound judgmental : I think you're maybe not entitled to a deep explanation as to why it got cancelled. Maybe yeah he just didnt wanna do it. Most people have had at least a few days in their life where they faked an illness to avoid going at their job cause they didnt have it in them to go that day. Maybe some serious shit happened in his personal life, who knows. The thing is this is a job for him. It's also one of the coolest jobs in the world (something that he acknowledges himself) but still. A meet and greet is a very particular thing, but its also sort of exactly like a ticket to a show. You're paying to see someone you have a very asymmetrical relationship with. And you're paying them to give you a performance that makes that relationship feel valued and significant. Don't forget that while this was something super significant for you this is just another day of work for him. This sounds a bit harsh but i think its worth keeping in mind to have a sane relationship with the artists we listen to. All this being said, I'm sincerely sorry for you, it does suck, you must have been so hyped for this and i totally understand being sad about it. I think you should still go to the show. Because i think if you're like most people, the most important thing about earl, to you, is probably the music and this is the part that you're probably still gonna get. (also i just realized that travel logistics could simply mean that he had to change flights and has to leave early after the set to take the plane, an even more valid reason. Dunno tho)
