Thank you so much BV. Reading that makes me feel so much better, LOL, over at Shidoobbe, Mr Lawyer,a doom and gloom gus if there ever was one, and someone named Glimmergirl are filling thread after thread with posts that say this tour is a shambles. They hit you with "inside information," patterns of TM sales, on and on, all to covince every one that this tour is a looser and the band is facing half empty stadiums. They have stated indeed that many venues turned the Stones down KNOWING that they would not sell enough to meet the price.
They can be very convincing, and even after your breat of fresh air, I am willing to believe that Comerica Park might well be a disaster in Detroit. But often, the twists and turns in the explanations they have as to why, say the Hollywood Bowl shows are not sale outs, depsite the inability to buy tickets, twist and meander like a Kennedy asassination conspiracy theory.
I lost my Stones Internet Virginity to IORR three years ago. The calm of a BV post and the info here is why when I hit the net every day, I start with IORR and come back to IORR to just before signing off for the day.
