What's he on about now?

In case the articles, essays and opinions throughtout this site just weren't enough for you, here's my online diary (a.k.a. 'blog'). It's as close as you'll come to the inside of my head, so don't say I didn't warn you
(and remember, you can always e-mail me if you love or loathe anything you're about to read)...

AFFRONT ROW

Joining my voice to the chorus of people I've listened to for two weeks now ask, "Why are concert tickets so damn expensive now?" Ten years ago, I passed up seeing Peter Gabriel at the Skydome because I thought the decent seats were too pricey at $40. Foolish me -- these days, tickets for Enrique Iglesias (and you know how little I think of him...) are selling for $120! And let's not discuss the floor seats for the Rolling Stones that sell for $300. Insanity, pure and simple.

At any rate, I'm still happy, since I snagged some OK balcony seats to Tony Bennett at Roy Thompson Hall. Tony'll be there November 22nd, the day before my dad's birthday, and that seemed like too good a coincidence to pass up. Hopefully, he'll be happy enough to make me forget that these nosebleed seats were $80 apiece!
