Where's that confounded bridge?
I think Kenneth Donnell (Glasgow, Scotland) takes the cake for being scalped for concert tickets.
He paid almost $200,000 for the privilege of seeing Led Zeppelin re-unite for an evening in London. Yup, the return of the satanic coke-heads that can't remember what song they're playing from one bar to the next.
Dude, they're old. Brains long since fried. Have any of them made any memorable music in the last 30 years? There you go. Do you remember the Cream re-union? It was freaking horrible - and Clapton still plays guitar for a living. A year from now the DVD of the event will be in the discount bins at K-Mart for $4.95. Why not spend the money on a new Ferrari or something?

Technorati ...and before I knew what I was doing, I had kicked the
typewriter and threw it around the room and made it beg for
mercy. At this point the typewriter pleaded for me to dress
him in feminine attire but instead I pressed his margin release
over and over again until the typewriter lost consciousness.
Presently, I regained consciousness and realized with shame what
I had done. My shame is gone and now I am looking for a
submissive typewriter, any color, or model. No electric
typewriters please!

Let me put this another way. Those of you buying Led Zep tickets are probably wanting to see this person play guitar:
But what you are going to see instead is this person playing guitar...
I might have to eat crow on this one. Had a look at the concert footage and was quite impressed (though streaming video to Oz from the UK was a bit of a challenge). They definitely did better than Cream for 60+ years old rock-n-rollers.
It's also worth noting that Afred's picked up the distribution rights (I got the email this morning since I'm still on the distro lists for most of the big music supply houses). Alfred's will keep it out of the discount bins at K-Mart and in the Classic Rock section of your local music store for years to come - at a premium price.
