Chris Isaak, best choice to close eBay Live!

Well, it's over. The last eBay Live! till 2010 (so they say). I think the best part of the whole thing was enjoyed by only about 150 people - and that was the Chris Isaak concert. That guy is great, it was a wonderful show. It's sad so many people missed it.

In my opinion, the mood was gloomy for a large number of attendees. I spoke with many sellers that told me they were leaving eBay after this event. They hoped they would find a hearing ear with eBay execs, but the overwhelming message I got from concerned sellers is they feel eBay did not really hear them, and that the company has no intention of deviating from it's current course.

I thought it was very interesting, given the mood of many of the senior attendees, that eBay chose a singer with a reputation for singing break up songs...

Here are two of Chris Isaak songs and lyrics are below, quite interesting when considering the relationship between eBay and many of its sellers:

Wicked Game Lyrics

The world was on fire and no one could save me but you.
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do.
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you.
And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you.

No, I don't want to fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I don't want to fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)
With you (This world is only gonna break your heart)

What a wicked game to play, to make me feel this way.
What a wicked thing to do, to let me dream of you.
What a wicked thing to say, you never felt this way.
What a wicked thing to do, to make me dream of you and,

I want to fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I want to fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)
With you.

The world was on fire and no one could save me but you.
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do.
I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you.
And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you,

No, I want to fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I want to fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)
With you (This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I... (This world is only gonna break your heart)
(This world is only gonna break your heart)

Nobody loves no one.

Life Will Go On Lyrics

Broken skies, heartaches that flowers won’t mend
Say goodbye knowing that this is the end
Tender dreams, shadows fall
Love too sweet, to recall
Dry your eyes, face the dawn
Life will go on

All day long thought that we still had a chance
Letting go, this is the end of romance
Broken hearts find your way
Make it through just this day
Face the world on your own
Life will go on, life will go on

There’ll be blue skies, every true love
Someday I’ll hold you again
They’ll be blue skies in a better world, darlin’

Tender dreams, shadows fall
Love too sweet, to recall
Dry your eyes, face the dawn
Life will go on, life will go on
Broken heart find your way
Make it through just this day
Face the world on your own
Life will go on
