Here are the top ticket sales for the past week. Apparently, Disney has created a monster bigger than David Lee Roth.

Only us old people know who Van Halen is these days. I love Van Halen in any incarnation...but I probably won't be going for this tour. Spent too much on the last one and it turned out to be one of the worst concerts I've ever been to (too early in the Sammy reunion tour...the band itself just was not in sync and it sounded horrible...only Sammy seemed to know what was going on)

I would go see Stevie Wonder though...that'd be neat, it's not every year he's on tour.

That's interesting. Thanks for the info.

The Hannah Montana 2/Miley Cyrus CD is still at the top of the charts as well, so high ticket sales make sense.

This is tragic news. The world has reached a sad sad sad era when a 12 year old with a wig on can lip sync her way to higher sales than Van Halen.

I'm only 23 but I appreciate good music from earlier eras. Modern pop music has reached a point where talent and creativity no longer matter. Record producers just look for a cute face, and then they write all the songs for them, add the instrumentals, and doctor up the recordings to make them sound presentable. Actual talent is optional (ie Ashlee Simpson, Brooke Hogan, etc).

This is thanks to a magical computer program called ProTools. Well said, brother.

I'm an expert in protools, adobe audition, and all others that resemble them. Maybe I'm totally missing the boat on life. I should find some cute faced middle schooler and send her straight to the top with my mad crazy pro-toolin' skills. I might be on to something here...
