"But the reality was very different: delayed flights, half-built huts to sleep in, and cold cheese sandwiches to eat. And that doesn't even include the disastrous trip home."

What do these people expect for 12 grand? Cripes, I paid eight dollars to see The Who back in ‘73. Great show, too.

Gee, That is about what I paid to see the WHO in 1975; 9 or 10 dollars. Great concert. Lots of laser beams bouncing off of mirror balls mounted in the ceiling. General admission. In Atlanta about 35 days before the Cincy incident.

My wife and I will be in bed watching old movies, and I’ll look at her and grin and ask if she wants to play squidgum. :)
