Bands Should Only Be Allowed to Perform Four Songs From “Their New Album” on Tour
There's nothing worse than paying big bucks to see your favorite band in concert, only to hear them say, "Here's another song from our new album" over and over again.

Concert Venues Should Change “Convenience Fee” to “Extortion Fee”
U2 has been on my bucket list for years now. I had the chance to see them back in high school and, like an idiot, passed on the $50 ticket because I thought it was way too expensive.
