Ticketmaster is a racket. Two normal tickets, nothing even close, we’re $490. Just nuts. Unfortunately I agreed to go before I knew the price tag. Better be fun.

I agree that Chad Smith is a good drummer. I also like the rest of the RHCP with the exception of Keidis. Just don’t dig his lyrics/singing. But I do like the Strokes. “Is This It,” was a fun album. I really dug it when it came out and I think it stands up. More excited for the Strokes than I am the RHCP.

I’m sure we will have a blast. Taking the kid out of school for the day and staying at a hotel. I would have loved this as a kid.

The best parts of the show were definitely the instrumental ones. Whether you care for the music or not, Flea, Frusciante, and Smith are great at their craft, so it's a joy to watch. Not that that makes it worth a small fortune to attend, but sine you're in it already, just enjoy.

I never really connected with The Strokes. They seem like they're too cool to care. And I dislike the lack or any harmonies. It all sort of bores me.
