...merger will combine Ticketmaster's ticketing and artist-management business with Live Nation's concert promotion, network of concert halls and fan-club operations under one roof. As a combined company, the new entity is expected to enjoy about $40 million in annual cost savings and have greater bargaining power to woo artists and sell out concert halls more efficiently. "Forty percent of the tickets to music events go unsold," said Azoff, whose Front Line artist-management group within Ticketmaster represents such artists as the Eagles and Guns N' Roses.

Danny feels so regional and specific. He never feels pushed into a scene as if he's a Hollywood actor; most of the time he actually seems like...
...that exchange, there is the semblance of a normal, everyday conversation between equals. But of course, Oprah has more than a million followers, and that isolated query probably elicited thousands of responses. Who knows what small fraction of her @ replies she has time to read? But from the fan's perspective, it feels refreshingly intimate: "As I was explaining to Oprah last night, when she asked about dog ticks...
