I searched this 4 times making sure it wasn’t from 15 years ago. What
the hell is going on in this world ? Star Wars in Concert and that
dinosaur thing aren’t even concerts. Are these the people getting
your post recession dollars? What the hell is wrong with your people?
I become more convinced that I am an odd one as you could not tug a
penny out of my wallet for any of the above mentioned shows. Not one.
The Eagles and Neil Young were the reason I bailed out of mainstream
rock. Dave Mathews, Phish and Jack Johnson are nothing more than
cover bands of the pathetic hacky sack bands of the 80s. Trailers are
represented in full glory with Brooke’s and Brad and Sugar and Time
and Momas new dress whatever. but my Jesus what the hell people.
Please I beg you if you have eyes to see and hope in your heart DO NOT
surrender a dime to anyone above. Not even the dinosaur… please
please go out and support your locals.. if we all promise to do this
we can actually get pathetic bags of crap like Neil right off the
list.. c’mon y’all what do ya say?? Try with me?
