Ticket procedures just suck in general for big shows. All the stupid fees, and the scalpers. This show sold out in about fifteen minutes, and there are already jerks selling their tickets for double their face value on craigslist.

[Sarah]

More excited, if this is actually true: "Update: Live Nation has announced: "In addition to the extensive catalogue of Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band hits, both DC and Baltimore evenings will consist of Born to Run being performed in its entirety!"

Venues do not inflate prices, promoters inflate the prices. A venue cannot do anything to ticket price. Whatever agency brought him to town is the one that inflated the price. The box offices sells at the price they are given. I did this for twenty years.

[Sarah]

I think Heidi's point is that the tickets were more expensive than Bruce intended, and now she doesn't get to see him perform Born to Run in its entirety because of his boycott of Little Rock.



But I do :) :) :) :)

[Stephen]

box office jacked the prices

I just want to clarify how that all works. It's more convenient for the press to say it's the box office, but the box office is just a land of lizard drones who never see the sunshine, work on their feet 80 hours a week, and bear the brunt of every ticket holders personal anger.

[Stephen]

What's worst of all! Was working for the Ballet. You wouldn't think so, but I nearly got in a fist fight over why I wasn't going to give a guy his money back when he was late for a performance of the Nutcracker. Contrary to popular thought, when you are on stage, throwing a woman up in the air, a door opening and light flashing from an unexpected place can result in said woman crashing to the floor with rather spectacular breaking of bones. The dude dancer then is known as a ballerina dropper. The curtain comes down, and people get PISSED OFF.

KD goes mid-eighties crossover!

[RandomAnthony]

I'm just going to come out and say it.

I really like Taylor Swift's music.

That is all.

[Stephen]

You had to come out to say that? I thought we were free to like whatever the hell we wanted? In that case,

I come out and say I like the music of Frescobaldi. Yeah, go look that up, you tarts.

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

"Couln't Stand the Weather" - Stevie Ray Vaughan. It's drippy and cold today. Waah! Someone call me a wambulance!

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

:::hugs KD, runs away fast:::

[RandomAnthony]

Stevie Ray died in Wisconsin, not far from where Jim lives...

[[deleted user]]

He died near East Troy which is a little over an hour east of here.

[Sarah]

Is Mudhoney still around? I haven't bought an album of theirs since Superfuzz Bigmuff. "Touch Me I'm Sick" is still a great song to blast.

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

"S.I.M.P. (Squirrels in my pants)" - Phineas and Ferb soundtrack. I swear, I have the weirdest job sometimes...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Axe9Bv...

[RandomAnthony]

Phineas and Ferb is kind of funny, though. And Ashley Tisdale does Candace's voice. Not that I watch or anything:)

[Stephen]

Indeed, R.I.P Stevie.

'Fraid so, KD.

Jimi!

[Stephen]

Screamin' Jay Hawkins - "Voodoo Jive"

GREAT cover

[RandomAnthony]

I'm on a big early Van Halen kick lately.

Listen...I love Beethoven, Brahms, whatever...but "Dance The Night Away" might lift my spirits more than any three and a half minutes of recorded music in existence.

[Stephen]

"Dan the Night Away?" Wasn't that the BeeGees?

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

No, that's "You Should Be Dancing," Stephen.

[Stephen]

Someone go to Youtube and he'p us now.

[Félix]

You should be dancing, Stephen.

[Sarah]

I'm never going to dance again. Guilty feet have got no rhythm.

[Félix]

I'm slipping back into the '80s now ....

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

Wait, is that a quote from "Careless Whisper", Sarah?

[Heidi]

Jackie "the Librarian" wrote: "Wait, is that a quote from "Careless Whisper", Sarah?"

It is a Careless Whisper lyric. Yes. :)

[Sarah]

Um, maybe... but it came back to bite me, and is now firmly lodged in my head.

[Félix]

Instant karma's gonna get you.

[Heidi]

QUICK! Sarah...

And I’m too sexy for Milan/too sexy for Milan, New York, and Japan

:)

Did that help?

No?

How about this one?

Or even better... THIS one

[Stephen]

Aie! The songs that get stuck in the head. Heidi is Dr. Evil-Song-Sticker today.

Although, I do like the too sexy song.

[Sarah]

Thanks a lot, Heidi. Luckily, I'm impervious to youtube while at work.
Larry succeeded with some instant karma, though. Much better.

And we all shine on...

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

Oh, GREAT. Just great. Now I'm going to be saying "Rico... SUAVE" all day. Thanks, Heidi.
sigh

[Nuri]

John Denver is for homesickness.

Also got some moody Goldspot on the side.

[[deleted user]]

In case any one needs a good laugh today.

Bless them for trying, but they shouldn't have.

[Stephen]

LOL their choir director should be flogged.

[Seizure Romero]

Right now I'm in the library listening to "Pride and Joy" bounce around the empty head of the person two tables away who has the earphones turned way up. Soon I'll be listening to that annoying Delilah broad spew treacle on "Warm 106.9"-- I hate the station, but that's what they play at the pho restaurant. Go figure.
Finally, if this isn't an album cover, it should be (for the most awesome band ever):

[image error]

Soup time!

[Matthieu]

I'm sure you'd love to do the flogging, Stephen...

[Stephen]

lol Not really, it's exhausting work. Don't you feel he should undergo some sort of punishment for making that choir look so incredibly stupid?

[Heidi]

Heh. I was just looking for someone on our member list and noticed that KD has posted 666 times in TC since joining. We should do something to commemorate the milestone.

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

Rock on, KD!

[Heidi]

:)

[David]

i've been listening to my pandora stations a lot lately, vocal jazz, metal, and classic rock mostly, Diana Krall, Ella Fitzgerald, Metallica, Iron Maiden and stuff like that.. nice picture of the metal explosion..

[Stephen]

David, you will love this thread. KD keeps us up to date on his collection of cover art.
