Question:
Why is it $60 to see a hugely popular band, where you go to an arena and watch them play on the TV screen above the stage while some 18 year old kid with a wallet chain jumps up and down on your ingrown toenails? Meanwhile, you can go see some really talented bands and stand undisturbed 3 feet away from them while they play, talk to them a bit afterwards, and have a great time... all for a meager five bucks.
Does anybody else see how backwards that is?
I know you all hate these guys, but

mike i totally agree, 60 bucks is a whole mess of value meals, although i did see an ad for steely dan which i was tempted to pay through the nose, and am still thinking about, sort of.

I'm down with Steely Dan. It seems that song "Peg" got stuck in my head when I was about 5 and I spent 20 years trying to figure out who the fuck played it. The problem was I thought they said "Hey, it will come back to you" instead of "Peg, it will come back to you". So even after I found out it was Steely Dan a few years ago it took some time for me to narrow down what song it was.
Now I own "A Decade of Steely Dan".
And no, I am not ashamed.

Steely Dan was on NPR last week too, they seemed like really cool guys, not all full of themselves.
I dig their music too.

People don't give a shit, unless it affects them personally, this affects me personally!

This is The Shizz.
Chromelodeon manages to get all the furniture from their hotel into the lake a few years back...and people are worried about shizzies?

Well, look at that. I came out of the "I like Steely Dan" closet and found out I wasn't the only one!

I have it on firsthand information that this is what Matt's boss would say if Matt called him a chimp:
Hey Matt, tell your Mom if she doesn't come to my house to get her panties by Friday I'm going to cut them into pieces and sell them as car covers.
BAM
PS- Did you come out of the HOMO closet yet?

Hey now, let's not say things we can't take back -
And John, I didn't mean to imply that your brother IS a chimp, merely that he is a lover of chimps and all things chimp. Now, if I was talking about CHUMPS...
Humanzee?

Yeah, I wouldn't want to go too far or anything Matt, but do tell her she needs to clean the green ring she left around Wade's bathtub too.
