[i envy you. i was just about to paste this in another thread. you made my point exactly]
Forget about how much we have in the bank or our bucket list. When we were young we could take a girl to a great concert and buy “beer” for $20. Young people do not have that opportunity now. Were they undercharging or are they price gouging now?
I understand that artists can’t rely on album or cd sales for their income anymore. I didn’t buy music then and I don’t buy it now. Now with sites like Pandora I listen for free like many others. But I consider myself lucky that concerts were affordable when I was young.
Now that a concert costs the same as a cruise, I’m cruising. I guess I got lucky again.
