Got to wondering-likely false hoping-are any of us going to benefit from the antitrust suit by DoJ against Live Nation/ Tickermaster. Any thoughts?

Latenik. Late '86 a friend of mine hands me a cassette with a copy of ESL from CD. I was hooked after that, but not so much by concerts (was at only 3).

Bastille Day-Different Stages Disc 3.

Turns out ZachenFoot was right. After signing on and selecting they flash the effing disclaimer, Shi**yBank fartholders only. FTB, I'm done.

This was via Ticketmaster's website, through whom I have an account. Don't have either card, but again, considering only 5,550 seats, I'm making a go of it. If I get turned away, so be it.

Imho the "buy now or buy later" aspect depends on number of dates and sizes of venue. For me, it's one time only, and Hard Rock Live only seats 5,500. FtB, not taking chances, Friday before noon I'll be in front of my computer, ready to go. Not sure if for just a seat ticket or VIP.

Hard Rock Live, Hollywood 11/5/26. Presale on TicketBastard starts Friday at Noon. A year in advance, slight chance my old ass might not still be alive, why the hell not?

Ken Dryden, goaltender who helped Montreal Canadiens to 7 Stanley Cup championships in the 70's, passes,away at 78 from cancer. Wins the Calder Trophy as a rookie. 5 Vezinas (best goalie), 6X All Star, and a Conn Smythe. RIP Ken. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nhl/hall-of-fame-canadiens-goaltender-ken-dryden-dies-of-cancer-at-age-78/ar-AA1LZLzf?ocid=BingNewsSerp

There is this funny guy named Grady Judd who is Sheriff in Polk County FL. He is,a funny laid back good ol' boy who posts FB pages of his more amusing busts. His latest, involving a local drug ring where perps, drugs, money, and dugs were confiscated, also included the "drip", a piece of bling liberated from the head of the drug ring and prominently displayed around Sheriff Judd's neck-a heavy gold chain, estimated value $5OK. Sheriff looks pretty dope! https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/grady-judd-gives-details-on-yearlong-operation-capital-city-crack-down-drug-trafficking-investigation/ar-AA1L21Rg?ocid=BingNewsSerp

Way back in 1990, The Marvin Gaye Collection, maybe under $50, for a 4 cassette tape set, with track listing book, in a 12" square (vinyl LP) by 1/2 inch thick "box". The four tapes were formatted: Volume 1: 20 top 20's-all of his "solo" hits from "Stubborn Kind of Fella" to "Sexual Heeling". Volume 2: The Duets- Marvin and partner duets, including Mary Wells, Diana Ross, Kim Weston, and of course, Tammi Terrell (Ain't No Mountain High Enough & You're All I Need To Get By). Volume 3: Rare, Live, Unreleased: Hidden nuggets from the vaults, including "Distant Lover" and the revival church style rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner" sung at the 1983 NBA All-Star Game. Volume 4: The Balladeer-Marvin in what he thought was his own element; "I wasn't no rock and roller-I didn't want to go out shakin' my ass". He saw him self as a silky smooth lounge lizard a' la Billy Eckstine or Arthur Prysock ( The Shadow of Your Smile, Mona Lisa,What Kind of Fool Am I, etc.). Unfortunately the set did not post well to cassette format. Bad quality tape and lots of reverse crosstalk (while one side of the tape is playing in the foreground, the other side of the tape is audible in the background-in reverse!)
