The cost of recapturing youth

When I was in high school and college, I went to concerts all the time*. Tickets ran about twenty bucks, once you factored in the "service charge;" t-shirts were about the same. Pretty ridiculous, $20 t-shirts. I have a footlocker full of them in the basement. Sometimes I think "If I had only put that money into a mutual fund..."

It was late in the game when I finally got to see my teenage favorite, though: The Who, 1989, RFK.

I can't remember for sure the last concert I saw...the National Symphony Orchestra, I think. I guess I'm a grownup.

The Who are going to be in Washington this spring. In an effort to recapture my lost youth, I decided to go.

Tickets: $55-205. Service charges: About what I used to pay for the actual tickets.

I think I'll skip the t-shirt this time around.


*off the top of my head: ZZ Top, Van Halen, AC/DC, Judas Priest, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Chicago, Robert Plant, Sting, Moody Blues...I suppose I could go look at the shirts for a better list.
