Yup, aren't required.

Thats the point. Their claims are meaningless and downplay how much profit they earn from it, it's a smokescreen.

Then you add resale tickets. A ticket that has already been charged the fees at the point of purchase get a 2nd fee hit on the seller, then a 3rd fee hit on the buyer.

Then you add in the broker networks that work directly with ticketmaster to secure sections of tickers to go directly to resale which the public never once has access to.

It's market manipulation and it's all hidden in secrecy.

I call bs on this, because Ticketmaster NEVER states how much of their fees go to artists. They don't have any transparency whatsoever, they just say "trust us, the artist gets some", without saying what "some" ever is.

It's a smokescreen

Getting my wish this year with Love and Rockets, but would like to see Pulp reunite again for another tour

The great and unique ones come from concerts themselves. Some bands will release posters you can only purchase at the show or are specific to only that night's performance.

My point is they arent.

They are not reporting two things at the same time. One is being overamplified for the dangers is poses and the other is being suppressed for the dangers it poses.

They are not reporting two things concurrent at the same time to the same degree that each of them deserve. If you dont think this is an imporant issue, drink a glass of water from the Ohio river east of East Palestine right now to prove me wrong.

Or dont, because I dont want to see people die to gross corporate negligence.

Thanks WSJ for continuing to do everything in your power to report stories like this instead of Labor stories like the train derailment in Ohio caused by Norfolk Southern's cost cutting measures.

Thanks for doing your part to feed the machine of keeping labor stories suppressed. Keep pumping out these nonsense UFO articles worrying about "payloads" when the biggest payload of burning polyvinyl chloride clouds rips through Ohio

Seems wrong to not include Brian May with his PhD in astrophysics

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has lost its legitimacy IMO. There are a lot of acts who took years to finally get inducted who deserved to be first ballots or who have never been inducted at all. Too much personal bias, lost its way pivoting to non-rock acts and becoming just a general "music" hall of fame.

Saw Petra Haden and the Sellouts perform the entire The Who Sell Out album to open for The Decemberists back in the mid 00s. Entirely acapella, no instruments.

Primus also played Rush's entire A Farewell to Kings album at every show on their last tour.

If you thought Bowie gave you whiplash....

This is not the proper conversation to be having.

Instead of having a conversation about generating interest in NFTs and the applications of them, it is the time for conversations about the NEED for regulations in this industry and the products that it sells to consumers in order to protect them from the kinds of scams that run rampant throughout the crypto and NFT business.

Any conversation other than how to protect consumers from predatory scam artists is the wrong conversation to be having until they are in place.

Sell your snakeoil somewhere else conman.

So you've been a scam artist for a long time is what you're saying?

Yes it did. They just werent born yet.

Rap has been mainstream since the 80s and the top of pop culture since the 90s

These are not rock subgenres.

You would never see Led Zeppelin winning an R&B award ever.

This is a list of popular acts that sold lots of albums and made a lot of record executives very expensive, and Bikini Kill. (Tho I'm not gonna be mad at Garbage getting nominated)

They were always bad. They were always bland. You just grew up.

King Gizzard.

Dead serious, this band had reawakened my appreciation for music in a way no band has in decades. They are good.

Australian Psychadelic Rock.

It's already an entire scene and no one's really paying attention yet because it's mostly independent artists or on Flightless so not getting radio airplay.

In the constellation of Cygnus, there lurks a mysterious, invisible force -The Black Hole of Cygnus X-1.

This is NOT a good thing.

Education, reducing poverty, increasing economic opportunites to give people a pathway to a better life, those would be good things.

This is dystopian hellscape
