Oh fuck, how could I forget George Clinton?
Maann....
am I ever lucky that this oversight occurred here, on this site.


If I ever overlooked GC at other place on God's green Earth where this subject was bought up,
well...
I can only imagine how dire the social consequences would be for me.
Surely, it would mean the come-uppins for my integrety within with whatever societal tribe's presence I would be in at the moment that this question was bought up.

But for the grace of God y'all.

Whitnail said:

Most of the artists I see are small so tickets aren't that expensive--usually $10-$25. And it's not like I have a wife and kids to take all my income so I spend it on myself.

Patrick on the other hand must have some kind of hookup because seeing Michael and Janet over 20 times each will bankrupt you.

sextonseven said:

True, but most of what you have named are not small, some artists in that collection I would have loved to have seen live , I guess location is a better explanation

Can't count edit
