    I saw him at Fenway Park in Boston a couple years ago. It was the second show and resale tickets were pretty reasonable, under $100. Loved the show but I wouldn't pay what some of you did to see him again.

    I got in for $200, and must have been lucky to find them on the secondary market at the right time. I viewed it as a once in a lifetime opportunity, as I can’t travel too far to a see a concert. I love music, and have to set limits to stop myself from spending too much. There’s nothing like live music, but these large events can also be a hassle. It sometimes makes you regret spending too much. Traffic was poorly managed, some arena staff seemed miserable, but the show itself was great, and well worth it. I’m just glad I didn’t spend too much more.

    So he goes from highest % to no jersey.  Maybe adjustments Should have been made before. 

    My thoughts exactly when I heard this. It seems like poor management to go from being content with the wide receiver position in the offseason to benching your second year receiver. These things don’t typically happen over night. There should have been concerns and more urgency. 

    Anybody going to McCartney tonight?

    Did you ever think that's because the Beatles were short-lived? And people hold on to what they can't have 

     

    The rolling Stones haven't stopped playing in 60 years 

     

    But Tom Brady's the greatest because he never stopped and was always great that's the rolling Stones 

     

    FYI they're also is rolling Stones college courses lol at good schools like the University at Rochester 

     

    I like both always been a massive fan.. Beatles definitely experimented more... But they were a band that attracted teenage girls around the world 

     

    You can go to their concerts and not hear them because girls would practice screaming for the concert 

     

    That is why they have the demographic and all the number one hits because they had the pop music down... Rock and roll.. I think the rolling Stones are right there

     

    Always been a bluesy rock and roll kind of guy though but the Beatles are one of my favorite without a doubt

    Yeah, I think a lot of people consider the Beatles one of the few bands to quit at the right time. Longevity is a strange beast in rock/pop. These artists earn a lot of money, but it doesn’t seem to increase GOAT status. The Stones are a good example, I really enjoy some of their recent albums, but the average fan probably couldn’t name a song less than 35 years old, at least. I’m more of bluesy rock fan as well, but I can’t help but believe you’re going to hear songs like Yesterday and In My Life years from now more than anything else from the rock era.

    Well I think you're just talking chart ability which is basically ability to make pop hits 

     

    Like a Taylor Swift effect... Even though the Beatles are terrific all timers .. the stones are right there lol they just didn't make as much pop music consistently 

     

    Bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd and the rolling Stones make music that  is timeless.. the charts reflect certain demographics more always has

     

     Stevie Ray Vaughan is one of the best musicians ever and he doesn't have the chart toppers like the Beatles.. but he is single-handedly one of the best musicians 

     

    I love the Stones, as I’ve always been a rock guy. I’m actually more likely to listen to the Stones than the Beatles. However, decades from now, the Beatles will be a in a different stratosphere. I think there’s more that appeals to the average person/music fan. The Stones were meant to be rough around the edges, and I think the rock sound will be considered a relic. The Beatles explored more musical styles, and I think the lyrics will hold up better, as they extend beyond drugs, partying, and heartbreak. Classes are already taught about the Beatles music and lyrics, this doesn’t happen with the Stones.
