Aerosmith are gods, but their tickets are face value $300, scalper value $1000 (and I'm all for open markets for getting what one can for their own ticket in the resale market). So how much did it cost for me to see them live, the complete show? Nothing!

Their 2013 full concert is free on youtube in high-def, I can google Chromecast it to my 70-inch HDTV; sit five feet away from the screen so that I can see if Steven Tyler's had a tonsillectomy; crank it through my 125-watt, 5.1 home stereo until my ears ring like church bells; drink Pabst Blue Ribbon for which I pay 50-cents a can; my truck parks free in my garage and I'll never find a half dozen juveniles smoking reefer and treating my bumper like a saloon stool; I can wear my faded Aerosmith t-shirt from 1970, the one that reeks of mothballs and Aqua Velva, without someone begging me to buy a new one with a naked lady on it for fifty bucks; and I don't have to pee in the blue-waters of a filthy, portable, plastic outhouse.

At home, I just pass out in my own excrement, drunk and safe, in the beanbag chair in front of the television until daybreak.

Thank you, modern technology!
