Never. Selling tickets is what they do.

Alright, I'll re-phrase the question, when are artists (take note Rolling Stones) gonna stop chasing this stupid kind of accolade and just concentrate on doing what's right at the moment - which at THIS point in their illustrious career to date, is simply NOT trying to improve on ABB in statistical/revenue terms. Bin there, done that .... I suggest you give Cohl and Live Nation the middle finger and move on !

Their artistic muse left them long ago as did the youthful concept of being a famous rockstar. The money is what moves them now.

Money is how they keep score. If it wasn't for giving that egomaniac Bono the finger, they wouldn't even be considering touring.

From the article:

"She is absolutely one of the great performers of all time," said Arthur Fogel from Live Nation."

"That this tour will take its place as the second highest grossing tour in the history of our business says it all."



How did our beloved rock'n'roll become this? Disgusting.

Why did Madonna allow her road crew to take a crap on her chest ?

- She's single again


(A joke from comic great Neil Hamburger)
