Loved your rant. As one of the uninsured since I lost my fulltime job 4 years ago after 17 years, I never got my hopes up for a bill to pass. But then I’m one of the most cynical people I know. The insurance companies and the GOP were not going to go down without a nasty fight.

Of course, the real problem is Ticketmaster essentially has a monopoly. I thought we had laws against that, but clearly they aren’t working. That’s how radio was flushed down the toilet.

Oh, I love it when you’re angry!

Before I die, I want to see you and Matthew togther, very drunk in a pub in Edinburgh….(the one me and matthew were once thrown out of by the landlord for swearing too much) just talking. I could sell tickets for that…it would be popular enough for Ticketbastard to want in for a cut.

oh really? Well…. I’ve got no snappy comeback! I’ll fucking pay it, fine. You’ve already denied me the show of my dreams last night by having it in Edinburgh, for fuck’s sake.

Wherein a Tart supports the people’s party with gravtars.

Just used $15.00 in TARP money to cover my Pearl Jam/Ben Harper ticket fees. Amurika, fuck yeah!

OK, see, my whole post is now complete The gravatars are randomly assigned and attached to your email, silver, hahaha. But that kinda made my day, so thanks for stopping by!

And I have to say, here in Chi-town we have it extremely good. Most (98%) of the shows I want to go to are at independent venues, not using any of those ass-raping corporate monsters (most use ticketweb). It’s the big venues where the really, really famous bands play that are tied into them. And honestly, I guess I’m lucky to not like the famous bands much or not care much if I miss em. But even Metric, who are pretty big, played at Metro here, and that place is uber cool, independent, with low fees (etix).

This weekend I got to see 14 bands for $20 at a great outdoor festival. How in the hell do ya beat that? Plus, Riotfest is coming in October and it was only $90 for a five-day pass which includes gigs at 6 venues with over 30 bands. So no, no complaints about other options here. But I do feel sorry for those top 40 music lovers who really wanna see Bloc Party! And I had to say no to Morrissey, having not seen him since early Smiths days, sniff, sniff…

And yeah, Debs was the MAN!
