Bankrolling Billy's new house

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

My wife read in the Chicago paper that Billy Corgan just purchased a 7 million dollar house in Chicago.
 
 So please do you best to go to his poetry show. He needs to pay for this house!

Did she read this as she was running the marathon, if so, that's even more impressive.

whats wrong with that?

Let's face it, anytime we attend a show we are paying for someone's something, whether that be their house mortage, alcohol stash, etc.
 
 I don't mind (unless it's prohibitively high) - after all, I am getting enjoyment in return (which is rare these days in any circle!).
 
 Cheers

Isn't there something un-rock and roll about a rock singer buying a 7 million dollar house?
 
 I'd rather listen to music made by people struggling to make ends meet.

Rhett recently stated that if you averaged the $$ he has made as a musician in his career, his salary would come out much closer to a schoolteacher than a doctor or lawyer.
 
 I guess marrying a model probably helped bankroll his house in upstate New York.

You're limiting yourself that way. Why would you let something like success limit your musical tastes? Just as commercial success isn't necessarily an indicator of talent, the converse also applies.
 
 Talk about being so hip it hurts

I said I'd RATHER listen to music made by non-millionaires. Doesn't mean that I wouldn't.
 
 For instance, I'll happily listen to some old Tom Petty, though his early stuff is best.
 
 "Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage"
 
 Have you ever heard a dumber lyric? If he's a rat in a cage, why live in a house at all? Just go live in the jungle....or the sewer.

How can you even decipher the lyrics emitted by his whiney voice?
