Freak By Night Posted December 26, 2003 Report Share Posted December 26, 2003 I fail to see why the year's top grossing concert tours and, for that matter, top grossing movies get reported as news. The list is more a reflection of how ridiculous ticket prices have become, than an indication of how popular an act is. Happy Holidays everyone! Hope you're all having a good one. Time for a wake 'n bake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
