The good news is that I got on the presale list to buy tickets for the upcoming Roger Waters “The Wall” tour for Philly, Buffalo, NYC, Long Island, and Hartford. Great, I thought. Until I found out how much the tickets cost. I was fully prepared to be outraged by (yet pay) prices of $50, maybe even $75. Turns out the good seats cost $440 a pair. And the “cheap” seats go for like $240. And then I’d have to travel (most likely drive to Buffalo, see the show, and then drive back, to both avoid the cost of a hotel, and also because I don’t have anybody who could babysit the dogs). So, no Roger Waters for me. I’m sure it’s an expensive production, and I’d really like to see it, but I’ll just have to wait for the DVD. Even if I wasn’t about to get a 20% pay cut for who knows how long (the answer, Andy, is I don’t know how long it’ll last, because Governor Blinky intends to continue it until the state legislature passes a budget), I just can’t justify that much money to see a show. Bummer.<\/p>\n
Once again, Bill Maher insisted on having that schmuck David Frum on his show last night. He’s not only worthless and adds absolutely nothing to the conversation, but it looks like his hair was styled by BP. I expected the woman (whose name escapes me, even though I just watched the show; sorry, that’s what happens when you get old) who was the former Fox VP of something or other to be a typical plastic twit, but she was actually pretty lucid and not annoying.<\/p>\n
Bill was kind of annoying when Sarah Silverman was on, I thought. Mostly because he wouldn’t STFU while she was talking.<\/p>\n
