Reuniting before the nursing home
This morning the local PBS had the fund raiser running with the 50s doo-wop groups. How long before the current reunion tours end up at the state fairs, then the PBS fund raisers, and finally Lakeside? Today's Plain Dealer listed a few on the nostalgia (i.e. money) bandwagon.- Police
Genesis
Spice Girls
Raspberries
Eagles (got an early start on this in the 90s)
Fleetwood Mac
Smashing Pumpkins
Crowded House
Squeeze
Eric Carmen, singer guitarist of the Raspberries was quoted, "There's something about being in a band. It's like being through a war with someone. . . it's a powerful thing."

There's almost a bottomless supply of money to be had from middle agers like me who want desperately to relive their youth or to just catch that concert way back when.
Where I work, we have a company wide classifieds on our intranet. Recently someone was trying to sell 2 tickets to the Police in Miami, full price of course, but they could not attend.
They paid, and were asking for $850 for the pair. Using my brilliant mathematical mind, I quickly deduced that this worked out to a mere $425 per ticket.
I think $30-$40 for a concert is too steep. $425? No way.
Just wait til they're playing the state or county fair. Prices should go down a bit.
