That's what disappoints me the most, especially as I learn more about this Brooks guy.
Of course, the guy can spend money on whatever he wants, and of course the artists have every right to play whatever show they want, but there are legitimate issues around values and the disparity between what this kid got for a party and what most children around the world have. Those issues make for good discussion, otherwise this thread would just be, oh cool, wonder what the setlist was, hope Stevie wore boots this time.
It also would have been a lot more fun, and I would have thought a lot better of Stevie, if this article was about how she decided to play a surprise show at the House of Blues over the weekend as a gift for her fans instead of grabbing a bunch of cash to sing with grumpy Don Henley at an exclusive event.
