Which would explain a LOT since several postings express a complete disregard for forking over $50 for barely a full concert.
I've been collecting music since before you were born! And I know a LOT more about the industry and how it's turned into more of a corporate scam over the course of my life. Getting screwed at a White Stripes show is about much more than Jack and Meg deciding they just couldn't finish the show.
A lot of you kids are NOT getting it and that's REALLY scary!

Just to make a few salient points clear
I am in my 40's
I come from a working class background and didnt have rich parents
I have worked in the music industry for 24 years
I am involved in 2 - 300 shows per year not including major and minor festivals
Guess that means I aint a kid and might, just might, know a little about live music and the music industry
You didnt get ripped off by the White Stripes, on one of your own posts you state the reason given for the shortened set was an injury
If you feel that agrieved, look up the bands agent or management in the White Book and complain
As you are in your 40's I am kind of disturbed by the fact that because you started this thread and received dissenting opinions you dismiss the whole board as "bullshit" and "apparently most of the ones with brains aren't here like myself"
Why start a thread if you simply want to dismiss or belittle any opinion that differs from what you want to hear?
Wouldnt you be better off simply unplugging your computer and sitting there talking to yourself?
More to the point, isnt it time to get over it and move on?
