    His first Hofner was stolen from Abbey Road Studios. The one he plays now was given to him by Hofner in 1963.

    Concerts have definitely gone off the rails price-wise, but I guess since records and streaming don't make any money, this is how artists make their living

    The artists got wiser and tired of resellers making all the money. Back in the day every ticket was the same price, except maybe some VIP package. Now there’s 20 different sections. And the latest I’ve seen is real time pricing based on demand.

    I told my friend to buy the tickets since he had access to the presale. we didn't find out the prie until later. I still probably would have done it for the lineup and the bucket list. But shiiiiiiiit

    I probably went a little too far there haha. I never really got Foo Fighters though, people seem to like them though.

    1. The Beatles.
    2. Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.
    3. Rolling Stones
    4. The Who
    5. Led Zepplin
    6. Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
    7. Pink Floyd
    8. TBA (Still deciding)


    My two wild cards I don't expect to see on anyone else's list:
    9. Jethro Tull
    10. Steppenwolf


    I could spend a weekend listening to random songs of the above and never think about changing the station.
