Concert ticket: $120. Parking: $40. Beer: $18. Hearing a song you know: priceless. Hearing 17 songs you do not: $178.

I went to see a band I liked in 2014. They played their new album. It is 2026. I did not know any songs. The guy next to me knew every word. He was the lead singer's dad. We had different experiences.

The best part of concerts is the one song you know and the 45 minutes of pretending you know the others. It is performance art.

I went to a festival for one band. They played at 2 PM for 20 minutes. I was in the parking lot. I heard the kick drum. Worth it.

The opener played for 90 minutes. The headliner played for 45. The crowd left happy. This is the music industry in one sentence.
