Just call her money girl - Streisand tix demand off as price skyrockets

My first concert was Tom Petty for the Damn the Torpedos tour, 1980. I think the tickets were a whopping $8. His opening act was Tommy Tutone--BEFORE Jenny. I remember thinking the big Synchronicity tour in '83 was laughable, since tix had skyrocketed to $18 bucks or so. But that was back when music was good, IMHOP.

For me, I'll only pay the big cash to see Kiss or Cooper. I did see Cooper recently, front row. Eyes were not on him, but Chuck Garric the bass player. It was pretty. ;-)But Coop himself--WE'RE NOT WORTHY! WE'RE NOT WORTHY!

Any other show, I'm in the back row to avoid the mosh pit or the drunken go-go girls, but at 5' I don't see much.

I didn't know that tix were off for everyone--shows you how in the know I am these days. I figured folks like Eminem, 50 Cent and the current crop of 'yout musicians' were raking it in.

I'm not down with the youngsters these days... unless you're counting three year olds. Dora Live! at the TD Waterhouse was awesome! (just joking)

She's a great singer, but these prices are too high.
