Rock and roll and football have not a lot in common.
And for the WC which will takes place in June in Germany, people have already bought their tix...so even if some Germans wwant to see the WC and the Stones they will have enough time to save money for the Stones shows
to come back to 1st post of "phd" I fully disagree.
Classifying R & R band with audience stats of shows in NYC .... I don't think R&R is limited to NYC !!! and is not limited to any audience stats !!!
as an example :
For The Stones in France in 2003 there were 145.000 people
Springsteen in 2003 : 55.000 people
U2 : 190.000 people
Bowie in 2003 : 30.000 people
What does this mean phd ????
