When I was about 16, I wrote to Bill Graham and complained about high ticket prices (they were probably $15 or something). He wrote a personal note and send me a gift certificate for tix.

The Shorline Ampitheater was created specifically for the US Festivals wasn't it? Or am I mistaken?
And Bill Graham, honestly, is my idol. I'm going to school to become an educator, but my dream job is to be a Concert Promoter. How he basically started the music administration business is incredible. Do you still have the note?
