Oh dear...

I'm with you, jmuzz- inasmuch as I'm as fussy as hell about what I'll shell out hard-earned to go see. For me, my last "big gig" was Iron Maiden, and yes they gave a show worth every cent that I paid. But there's always the chance people will go to these hyped events- just on the off-chance they'll see a trainwreck. That's the only reason I could imagine wanting to sit through a concert by Whitney Houston...
