Besides, name one other product you pay for in full, and then don't receive your merchandise until a year later. I can't think of one. Funeral arrangements, maybe?

Coming to North America 15 April in Florida to 30 May in Forest Hills NY- leg 1 -2 more legs to follow and then on to Europe/Japan/AU & possibly South America. UK & USA on more time after that then done into later 2016
Where is there a place to play in Forest Hills, New York? Don't tell me the tennis stadium they played at in 1971 still exists?
In answer to my own question, they are indeed playing at the very same Forest Hills Tennis Stadium they played at in 1971. The Beatles played there in '64. The Stones played there in '66.

Pete Townshend: I hate The Who, performing and touring
Category: Entertainment Published Tuesday, October 28, 2014 Toronto Sun
Rock veteran Pete Townshend has sensationally confessed he "hates" his band The Who and cannot stand performing live.
The guitarist and his bandmate Roger Daltrey are heading out on the road for a massive, year-long farewell tour from next month to say goodbye to their fans after 50 years.
However, Townshend is already regretting the decision before the band has even played a note of music - because he hates the job.
Well, what to say?????? I know people working in call center Who hate their job,i know people who drive dhl truck who hate their job.. But they do it, with pride and dignity.. What a stupid statement from Pete. I thought he was more clever
Asked by a journalist from British magazine Event why he agreed to a farewell tour, Townshend replies, "I'm sort of asking myself the same question. It seemed like a good idea about six months ago but I hate performing and The Who and touring. But I'm innately good at it, I don't find it hard."

actual 'interest rates' aren't that high.
you're talking about 'managed portfolios' where the majority of the funds are invested in a diversified portfolio of stocks and bonds, and while they could earn 15% they could also lose money depending on what the markets are doing.

I bought U2 tickets in November 2009 and didn't get to use them until June 2011. Bono's "bad back" necessitated a 12-month postponement. (Actually, having a stage so large that it could only be used outdoors, and only being able to play outdoors in Michigan in the summertime is what really necessitated the 12-month postponement. I'm sure his back felt much better long before then.)

This topic is far less interesting than I thought.
