I believe I speak for the board when I extend my middle fingers to the both of you in a symbolic gesture….let me put my phone down and get someone to take my pic

Radiohead is back

https://www.thetimes.com/culture/music/article/radiohead-2025-tour-flyers-london-jrx0lk08q

Playing in Madrid...the two nights we're in Madrid.

The mention of this got me an earful about how stupid it is that a 50something man would care so much about live music. It's a speech I often get, despite the fact that I see far less live music than some of you lot.
Does this mean I'm not seeing Radiohead?

You have saved more than enough money on tickets over the past five decades to justify getting secondary market first row tickets. If your wife won't go, I'll fly over and join you. First beer is on me.

So where would Radiohead play in DC? Merriweather? Cap one arena?

Two nights at Anthem would be sweet but numbers not enough even with $250 tickets.

The smart money would to buy whatever Morrissey has the rights to and then franchise The Smiths and allow regional versions of the band to exist like they did with 60s vocal groups. 

or just handed everything over to Rick Ashley and his investment group.

As an investor in various Art Bruts that failed to turn a profit, I strongly caution against this. Still under water on Art Brut 69 and I don’t think any of the lesbian stoners in Art Brut 420 ever really intended on playing any shows.

I think the Smiths have missed their chance….their fanbase is aging out or dying. They could have been a massive moneymaker but didn’t happen. Not to mention the brand is tainted by perception- right or wrong- that Morrissey is a right wing loon and unmitigated prick.

Liam Gallagher solves all these problems.

but think of the endless competitions they could have between The Smiths a NCAA bracket tournament, a World Cup tournament...

Seth could host a MD The Smiths vs VA The Smiths to determine who has the right to plan DC.
