Pardon my rant

All right. So I got all set to surprise Jason and Effie with Taylor Swift concert tickets- its a daddy/daughter thing, and the cheapest seats in Dallas are $130 each, all the way up to $1175. I have to say that I have a renewed respect for Miss Swift if people are paying that much to see the show. Needless to say, my money will be spent elsewhere, but am disappointed nonetheless. Which brings me to another point. I really don't understand much about socialism in action, but will shortly I suppose, and was wondering if under our new president's rule should we somehow be entitled to see concerts, sporting events, ballets, etc. at a sliding pay scale rate? Or perhaps with certain welfare-type concerts for those of us who can't afford tickets but are entitled as Americans to go? No? Perhaps I am off the deep end, but if they are going to take radio away from us, and everything else is going socialized, and if music will be too, someday in the future, I just wish it would be now so they could see her. Like I've said before though, down with the man.

*Also, green hair pic did not show enough green to make it worth the effort it takes to load it on the page.

Last time I saw green hair was several years ago when I used an ash brown dye on my hair and it had a reaction with whatever color it had been prior to that. Though I tried to hide it by putting it in a braid until I could do something about it, a self-proclaimed "hairdresser" pointed it out to me during the space of the hour I attended Mass, as I made my joyful noise unto the Lord. (I was in the choir.) Needless to say, I left church for the drugstore immediately thereafter not only green-haired, but red-faced.
As for the T.S. concert tickets, I say get some Karaoke music and let Effie give the concert. I'd pay to see that.
I like the idea about the sliding scale. Too bad you don't have access to the presidential jet so you could fly the whole family in to spend the country's money on dinner as well as the show.
Down with the man.(Way down.)

HERE HERE!! I am only getting to go due to the graciousness of a most beloved auntie, otherwise, I could not (or would not) afford to pay either.
