Good thing about being old and listening to old music. If the artists are still touring, you can usually get good seats cheap.

Unless of course it's someone like the Stones or Eagles that is.

John - SEVERAL years ago, I had the chance to go see "The Eagles" If I am not mistaken, it was their Final Tour (???) It was all (???) the originals that were in the band. AWESOME concert. YEP - the tickets were very expensive BUT well worth the money.

Madonna,

I went to see the Eagles in the Dome around 1995. Excellent concert. But I think even then they were running $80 a pop or more.

I saw the "Hell Freezes Over Tour". Tickets for the floor were going for up to $500. The only reason I went is because I won tickets off of WCKW (back when they still played decent music...they were just, 92.3). Debated selling the tickets (3rd row), but figured I wouldn't get another chance to see them.

I am still a very big Country fan. My children also like it but Sarah listens to pop and some rock. My son, who is an old man stuck in an 11 years olds body, loves the Beach boys, all eighties music and has recently discovered Guns and Roses and that style of music. I think they swithced my baby at the hospital. Anybody else listen to country?

It was July of 1994. I remember it well as I was about to give birth to our 1st daughter. I bought tickets for Todd for his birthday and he went with Cliff Guillory(Evas bro). They had a blast!! we also saw Pink Floyd at the beginning of that year. Early pregnant, but took a chance. Again, a blast. Both times lucked out and got GREAT seats--floor both times. Always say if they ever tour again, would like for my kids to see them. My 12 year old like norma, girly stuff, but also can be an old soul at times. Nicole

I listen to some. Grew up with old country music (it's all my father listened to); Hank Sr., Charlie Rich and Pride, Waylon, etc. I don't listen to any of that these days though. Any country I have in my playlists usually has a Southern Rock flavor to it, like Hank Jr. and Charlie Daniels. But I'm also a pretty big fan of Randy Travis.

Oh yeah, I heard Hank III a few years ago from a co-worker at the library. Musically, as Jr was to Sr, III is to Jr.

Lost all my songs from him when a drive crashed on me a couple of years ago and never replaced them. Have to rectify that.

Cathy - I do listen to country music. When I am in my truck and I am by myself thats about the only time I get to listen to it. When my daughter is with me - she always manages to change the channel.

Jerry - I saw the Eagles at the Mississippi Gulf Coast Coliseium. It was AWESOME.

Cathy, do you listen to our American Idol Carrie Underwood??? Here's some Trivia for you.....she was a Tri Sigma! Cool huh? The sorority did a HUGE push for her when she was on the show, trying to get everyone to vote. Seems I got an email from the sorority about every other day.

I checked out the Hank 3 site. Um--good music but lyrics sounded like Karaoke nite at the Pub. No offense--although I only gave it about 3 minutes. Does it grow on you??

Leslie, I love all the groups and people you mentioned plus Jason Aldean, Rascal Flatts, and did you mention Dierks Bentley? Whoa is he cute.

I still love old ones like Kenny Rogers (b/f the plastic surgery) Alabama, etc.

And yes, Julie I love Carrie Underwood! Her latest song would have been helpful back in high school.

Jon--do you like "A closer walk with Thee?'' My dad was a singer (hobby) and used to do a spoof of it entitled "Just a bowl of Butter beans". When they played the hymn at my grandfathers funeral ( I was 13) I almost laughed out loud. I feel guilty now for it but it was funny back then.

P. S. to anyone: Does anyone have or know where I can get a Eurythmics CD. Jesse loves the lady with red hair and "Sweet Dreams"?
