I never liked the Police.

I paid $250 face to see the Who do Tommy at Radio City Music Hall back in the late 80s. But, it was a benefit, so I felt all warm and fuzzy inside.

Not that it's not now, but $250 in the late '80s was a hunk of coin

Saw the Who many times from '81 on...indoors, outdoors...Roger always delivered..sometimes Pete was up to it, sometimes the guitars off stage carried them

Kids Are Alight still a great DVD to pull out every so often

I'd pay $500 to see Joy Division.

I meant to tell you, there's a documentary about them that is playing at Lincoln Center a few times this week. It doesn't have a distributor but maybe it will get a DVD release sometime. If I check it out I'll let you know.

I wouldn't pay $250 to see Sting play Johnny Be Bad on his lead bass guitar.

I wouldn't pay $250 to see anybody.



And most of these wretches grew out of the "flower children...everyone's your brother / sister" era.

You could probably still see Buddy Guy today for a $10 cover charge and still have more fun and "ah don't care's" than a barrel of elitist,overhyped,grossly overpaid drunks and drug addicts.

First of all.......you don't have $250.

Now that I've gotten that out of the way......I highly doubt you can see Buddy Guy for $10 unless you run into him on the street.

Oh that's friggin' low.







But if I did...I still wouldn't.

Oh really?


It wasn't that long ago he would play local,little spots for the very same opposite reason these archaic rapists play the big bucks scene






And I did TOO meet those 3 guys.
