    Amber, check Groupon. Some concerts and festivals put tickets on there. You'll find them for 25-40% discount. That's my experience, at least.

    "One does not simply walk into Mordor. Its Black Gates are guarded by more than just Orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep, and the Great Eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust, the very air you breathe is a poisonous fume." Boromir

      I will. I wasn't much into Garbage in the 1990s, but since starting transition, songs like "Queer," "I Think I'm Paranoid," "Bleed Like Me," "Cherry Lips," "#1 Crush," "Not Your Kind of People," and a few others have spoken to me.

      And with the entire bill being Liz Phair, Garbage, and Alanis, this is a "back to the 90s" concert that I WANT to go. I mean, there's no Haddaway, Vanilla Ice, Blessid Union of Souls, etc. When I was at NMU, we had a Back to the 90s weekend featuring Blessid Union of Souls and Naughty By Nature. More people showed up for Naughty By Nature.

        Right now I'm trying to picture Treach in Marquette.

        Cornell University
        National Champion 1967, 1970
        ECAC Champion 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1973, 1980, 1986, 1996, 1997, 2003, 2005, 2010
        Ivy League Champion 1966, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1977, 1978, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1996, 1997, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2012, 2014, 2018, 2019, 2020

          Some very smart literary references in the lyrics too:

          The future teaches you to be alone
          The present to be afraid and cold
          "So if I can shoot rabbits then I can shoot fascists"

          Bullets for your brain today
          But we'll forget it all again
          Monuments put from pen to paper
          Turns me into a gutless wonder

          And if you tolerate this then your children will be next
          And if you tolerate this then your children will be next
          Will be next, will be next, will be next

          Gravity keeps my head down
          Or is it maybe shame
          At being so young and being so vain

          Holes in your head today
          But I'm a pacifist
          I've walked La Ramblas but not with real intent

          And if you tolerate this then your children will be next
          And if you tolerate this then your children will be next
          Will be next, will be next, will be next, yeah will be next

          And on the street tonight
          An old man plays with newspaper cuttings of his glory days

          And if you tolerate this then your children will be next
          And if you tolerate this then your children will be next
          Will be next, will be next, will be next

            When I tried to look at your first youtube video it gave me a message that said the uploader had not authorized it for the country I am located in (US).
            That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

              I sometimes get the reverse of that. If you want search for, "Yola - Faraway Look". Lady has pipes.

                This video is old, but I learned that today one of my managers is one of the sisters to this group. Music is not my style but this is a pretty cool story.

                    Mudhoney was 30 bucks for standing room in a dive club. Those two are waaaaay bigger than Mudhoney ever was, and are playing a much larger suburban venue where Ticketbastard rules the roost. *shrugs* It is what it is.

                    Plus, Alanis is probably going to have a bit of a career resurgence with her Broadway musical out now.

You sit on a park bench and watch as myriad acts flow across the stage. You might start with a local talent contest, followed up by Herman's Hermits, followed by Chubby Carrier and the Bayou Swamp Band, followed by Belinda Carlisle.

                      Now, we got hot, cocaine Belinda instead of Go-Go's Belinda, so it was ok.
                      It can work in reverse, though. Some country artist was booked a couple years ago at the Leinie Lodge, and right before the State Fair hit, he scored a HUGE hit (from what bbdl told me) and they could have charged $30+ per ticket for a show of his. However, the contract was already set. Needless to say, the Lodge was packed. I have to admit, despite me not remembering specifics, he wasn't bad.

                      And IIRC, Eric Church tries to keep his prices down. I know the Grateful Dead did, when Jerry was still around. Pearl Jam tried, too.
                      Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                        And I was looking at Sara Bareilles at the Fox Theater this past October. But it was $100 just to get in the building, plus the trip to Detroit to see her.

                        Maybe when I'm a millionaire.

                          Much like the Replacements, this is the correct way to see Mudhoney.

                            It certainly was.

                              Starting the morning with "Beautiful Garbage," and hit repeat on "Cup of Coffee" and "Cherry Lips (Go Baby Go)."

                                Proof that humans can be beautiful creatures when we put our minds to it. And when the harmonies kick in? Wow.
