Same ole same ole

 

In 1977 several friends and I drove ninety miles to Philadelphia’s Spectrum arena and stood in a long, slumbering line for Pink Floyd concert tickets. After several hours of waiting I got up to the kiosk and purchased my ticket. It was a lousy seat. “Ah man,” I grumbled, “I gotta sit way up high on the side…for $6!!!”

 

Last Saturday morning at 9:59 I sat at my computer in my pajamas as tickets went on sale for the Rolling Stones at MCI arena in Washington, D.C. One minute later I had my ticket. “Ah man, I gotta sit way up high on the side…for $183!!!”
