Senior Citizen Bands back on the road?

    Do you realize that people are going broke?  I'm sure you do.  What kind of question was that?
Anyway.  Remember all those Rap groups, rock bands, R&B vocalist and etc. . . that we loved back in the days?  We have always wondered where they have gone?  Who's flipping burgers or started a successful business?  So what are they are doing today?  The Dow don't only affect the poor, rich have to live in dept too.
    You see them on cribs with the BIG Homes,  lovely gardens, 3 cars, picket fences, beautiful rock swimming pools, 20 chair home theater and with all the awards on their walls.  Even their pets eat better than I do.  But remember,  when you make millions you live as a millionaire.  When you make thousands you live within your limits.  Now you see all those groups returning to the scene?  They are going broke like a thousandaire would.
  Example:
  - If you make $30,000 a year. After adding up your rent, light and water bill, car payment, pleasurable things, food and other necessities it takes to survive, you will be in debt, close to it or living ok. So, your monthly pocket income is $300 a month.
  - Now. Think about those rich folks who make $2,000,000 a year. They live with the $1,500,000 home, 3 $70-$80,000 cars, light and water bill for the Big house, TAXES on the Big home and cars, steak and lobsters, pleasurable things, traveling and their necessities to survive.  Now they are like us, in debt, close to it or living ok.  But they have to keep their lives moving forward. Where are they now?  Back on the stage or in the studio to make the $1,500,000 home, 3 $70-$80,000 cars, light and water bill for the Big house, TAXES on the Big home and cars, steak and lobsters, pleasurable things, traveling and their necessities to survive in their lives. So, their monthly pocketed income is $10,000.  To the man making $30,000 that sounds wonderful.  Don't forget about the millionaires debts.  Even Donald Trump filed bankruptcy.
  A lot of the late 80's early 90's bands are back on the scene playing shows for $10. Their past Head Banging wagon jumper followers, in the age of 40-45 years of age today, are getting ready to draw social security.  Or they're with high blood pressure.  Nah listen, getting prepared for Alzheimer's.  The generation today don't appreciate instruments so they maybe will draw 50 of their past wagon jumpers.  They still have mullets and puffed up hair. Take a look at the 2011 ROCK OF AGES TOUR.  How can those cats play with cans in their hands or on wheelchairs? shheesshhh

      This is to let you know why all your favorite Bands, Rappers and R&B groups are back on the road.  It's not because they love it, it's because they have to make those payments while living life as a millionaire.  Those groups are not able to sale those tickets for $50 per tickets today.  They better home they can get at least $15 with a good crowd.  If not, they will be on the road for a while.  Trust me, they never wanted to go back on the road again.  Those people are on suicide watch.  They do Not want to live that road life again.

   PS: Keep your eyes on all the Classic Group albums coming back out.  The shows with all the past rock stars as guest.  You will hear them promote their new album and/or tour.

 Bless their hearts
   
    Respect Funk
