…I have succeeded in getting a ticket to the Tom Waits concert. I can’t believe I’ve paid one hundred dollars (counting all the extra fees added by Ticketmaster etc.) to see this guy. I said the other day in a comment here that I sometimes wonder if I might die before too long—no, I am not sick, depressed, or anything else, and have no reason to think I won’t live for another twenty years—it’s just an odd feeling. But I will be seriously torqued if I die on or before the day of this concert (July 2) and waste my hundred dollars.
It seems almost sinful to spend this much money on a few hours’ entertainment, although “entertainment” is not exactly the right word here. Would I pay this much for a concert by anyone else? No, I really can’t think of anyone I’d consider paying more than about half this much to see.
