And finally the Metallica concert gave us a second to compare Rod Stewart and Stevie Nicks, mostly because they both sound like melodic goats, which is fine. In short, Rod Stewart comes out on top. His work with the Faces and in the Jeff Beck band trumps Stevie Nicks; work with Fleetwood Mac, although giving credit to Nicks, she can hit a lot more notes than Rod Stewart can, who sings in a more boring Lemmyesque style of hitting only two or three notes depending on the night. Stewart's solo work beats out Stevie Nicks two to one: Stevie Nicks has "Edge of Seventeen", while Rod Stewart has "Do you think I'm Sexy" and "Maggie Mae".

This leads me to my second thing. As of right now, I'm going Eddie Vedder on Ticketmaster's ass, and calling for a boycott, that I Hope Randy will agree with me on. What has me so angry? The ****ing convenience fee. What the **** is this, other than an oxymoron. There's nothing convenient about a fee. You know what would make me ok with the Ticketmaster convenience fee? They would have to change the name to an assrape fee, because that's what it is, an assrape fee. Concert tickets are a luxury item, and I'm fine with Ticketmaster charging whatever they want for them. That's their choice. What I'm not fine with is being lied to and scammed. So, I want all of our millions and millions of readers to join with us in boycotting Ticketmaster; find a concert you want to go to, then don't go. Email Ticketmaster, and tell them you're not going because of the convenience fee, and then don't go to the concert. If everyone stops going to concerts, they won't have any choice but to not charge the convenience fee. ****ing Ticketmaster.
