Please study the list of the top 20 highest-grossing concerts of 2005 below. Note: The amount in the parentheses is the average price per ticket.

19. Barry Manilow, $22.7 million ($153.93)
20. Anger Management 3 Tour, $21.6 million ($64.03)
What kind of sick, twisted world are we living in where Jimmy Buffett charges almost twice as much for a concert ticket as Motley Crue??!! The last time I checked there was no pyro, no big-boobied women in spandex, no rotating drum cages, and certainly no chance of sleeping with that fat guy who used to be Vince Neil, at a Jimmy Buffett concert. Not unless "Cheeseburger in Paradise" has evolved into "Girls, Girls, Girls", which I don't think it has. As a matter of fact, I think the laws of nature forbid it.
Oh yeah - and Kenny Chesney?. If you paid $54.63 to watch him pretend to be a sensitive bald man, you either:
A. Don't know what actual country music is.
B. Drive a mini-van.
C. Totally suck.
D. All of the above. Go buy a Charlie Daniels album, you soccer MILF.
Compared to those ticket prices, a mere six bucks is chump change to come see The Freakin' Hott this Saturday, January 7th, at Respectable's in West Palm Beach with Truckstop Coffee, Gasoline Heart, and Dear and Glorious Physician. They won't charge you eight bucks for a beer, forty dollars for a t-shirt, and twenty scrilla for parking, either, so you won't have to take out that second mortgage in order to attend.
