“Who can afford to go to multiple shows?” says the anonymous tour manager. “Two tickets to a show, you’re talking probably about $200 with fees and everything. You go to a meal around the show, you’re talking at least $100 or $200 for a nice dinner. Then you got parking and babysitters, then you add the VIP stuff to that and you want to make it a special night, you’re talking $500 to $1,000 a night for a couple to go out. It’s capitalism at its best.”

Slavery was also always done most commonly through history. Doesn't make it right.

My comments was simply noting that if you are an artist and made something, you should get most, if not all, of the money for it. The record industry steals from them like most of capitalism does from everybody, amd here you are simping for it and explaining it to me for some idiotic reason.
