...rock concerts any more, so the first thing I want to ask is: Is this what rock concerts cost these days? I wasn't reviewing the show, so I paid for tickets just like everyone else - $369 for a seat that doesn't put you in the Madison Square Garden rafters. Plus a surcharge, which put the cost of a pair within shouting distance of $800. Who pays these prices...
...pays these prices? Old people with money - also known as baby boomers. A few weeks ago I went to Madonna and Bruce Springsteen at Madison Square Garden (they were barnstorming through within days of each other).

As Peretz spoke, loudspeakers in the village called for residents to get into hardened shelters immediately. He and Ada ignored them...
Kitchen is not likely to draw in Thomas Keller fans, but a broadcast network has to program for an Olive Garden crowd. "We wanted to create a show that I could watch, and I'm not a foodie," says executive producer Arthur Smith. "It's like a live sporting event. It's hot, there's time pressure, there's someone yelling at you, and there are sharp things. There's danger." Still, hundreds of food professionals applied for the chance to become chef at a new restaurant--though they'll probably be glad to escape without a cleaver...
