Appearances
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, as long as you don't antagonize them or do things that are just like, oh, I'm going to piss off the audience by indulging myself in a half hour of just talking to you.
Yeah, drum solo, whatever, yeah.
Sell out?
You mean like do- A lemonade commercial or- Oh yeah, lemonade commercials and things like, yeah, there've been a few offers for- I've done commercials, I'll be honest.
And things like that.
And I'm of a generation where musicians kind of avoided that if they could.
Yes.
And I realize that now it's actually encouraged.
It's like, if that's what you do to get your music to a larger audience, then you should do it.
I was really impressed at Eddie Vedder and that they kind of decided we want to do this tour without Ticketmaster and whatever, because our fans are tired of paying all these extra costs that get added on and all the scalping stuff that goes on with these ticket companies.
sales things are complicit in this with the scalpers and, you know, they were trying, they were trying to kind of do the right thing, but it is, yeah, it's a really hard thing for them to do.
And I admired them for giving it a try.
Yeah.
And now there's the whole thing of, I guess, what they call dynamic pricing, where- That doesn't sound good.
What's that?
No, yeah, yeah.
They've done it on Broadway for a long time, but now they're kind of moving it into concerts where, you know, with a big artist, like there was a big brouhaha about Bruce Springsteen tickets, because if there's a high demand for kind of the prime seats for a show like that, they'll jack the prices up for those.
Now, they might still keep some cheap seats in the back, but the ones up front will just go everywhere.
they're kind of trying to beat the scalpers in a way, but that means that, uh, 1200.
