I'm glad you said this because it reminded me how I used to go to my favorite record store and gladly wait a week or two for the current issue of Billboard to be given to me. This went on for years and years. My favorite column was Boxscore. I was always excited to see how well Stevie or FM were doing in concert and how much money they were making. I actually once purchased a six month subscription so I could get them mailed to me. This was in 1984 and FM or Stevie didn't do any touring then. It felt like a large waste of money because there was hardly anything at all pertaining to them in the magazine at that time, but I did learn a lot of how the music business ran.
