I get this all the time "You're lucky. You have money."
I tell them "I have a job. Get one. You get money."
Then they whine some more so I ask how many concerts they went to in the last year. "Oh. Maybe 10?" Ask them how much the tickets were. "About 50 dollars" "So thats 500$ of tickets right?" "Yea, but what has that got to do with anything?" *D'OH!*
I am afraid for my generation. (For the most part. Exceptions include Jake and Nick.)

Its amazing how many people have this belief that they should have certain things just because.
Case in point: I'm at the bank today getting a money order for my background check for graduate school. Next to me, there is this woman screaming at the teller because they cannot cash the checks she brought in. She screamed and cried about how she has to pay this bill or that bill and how dare you etc. etc. Right at that time, the teller I was working with decides to tell me, loudly, that I really should put some of my money into an account that will accrue more interest. The lady next to me shoots me the dirtiest look ever, demands her checks back, and storms out of the bank.
She looked at me like I did something wrong...simply because I have money to pay my bills.
Hehe..woohoo. Its like a bonus halftime show. Bow chicka wow woww...

Daytona Speedway has a commercial wanting you to buy tickets,never in all my days seen that before
Maybe the auto racing industry is in trouble too

Their ticket sales have been declining for the first time ever last year and maybe the year before.

they forget about and food or drink and t-shirts and how many of them have 3 or 400 CD's gathering dust somewhere?
EDIT: where they heck did they find $50 seats? All the concerts I priced last year were $75 for nose bleed seats!

They don't go to see mainstream bands so it's cheaper.
