No one is worth anything close to $100 of my money.

I agree, but it is partly because I’m old, and because I’ve had the opportunity to meet a fair number of famous people. Once you just see someone like Taylor Swift as another young girl with a makeover, and some good business sense and the ability to afford good musicians, arrangers and producers, you want to go to one of her concerts because you want to see a good show. And the “good show” value is around $50.

But most people who are still mesmerized by “celebrity” will pay a LOT more.

The only person I ever met that I really wanted to meet, and DID meet was Sarah Palin. But even then, it was not meeting her that mattered. It was getting to talk with her, one on one, for almost 45 minutes. As a musician, I’d pay $500 to talk with Taylor Swift for 45 minutes about her music and how she got where she is. I think it would be worth the money. I have a feeling her time is worth more than that, though. :)
