The Rolling Stones were in Toronto Thursday evening & since i'd never yet seen them in concert, i figured it might be a good idea to watch them live, even though i'm not a die-hard Stones fan & i was told by many who've seen them over the past decade that their live show now sucks. But when i saw the ridiculous ticket prices ($600+), i at first thought it was a typo by Ticketmaster or someone's bad joke. When i learned that it wasn't, i laughed out loud & figured no one would bother spending that kind of dough on a couple of geriatrics who aren't far off from being committed to a nursing home. To my surprise, i heard on Toronto television that the concert was supposedly sold-out.
They were here in Toronto a month ago & Carrie Underwood performed on the first half of the show. Now, maybe that could have revitalized interest, but not for $600!!!! I don't think i'd even pay that kind money to attend a Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd reunion concert.
