Oh he was fine, and I doubt very much that it was on his demands. I’m sure it was a greedy fair organizer. I don’t blame anyone, I just thought it was a funny thing, when you would expect it to be free or cheap.

Hmmm… That’s not great. Sorry to hear it. Did he sound sharp, at least? Could you tell from where you were?

One time I was in Sudbury with my mom and stepdad (who lived there at the time) and we headed to the Sudbury fair. When we got there, we discovered Kim Mitchell was playing that night. We thought it would be fun in a campy kind of way to see him. However, the tickets were $50 or somewhere in that range. So we decided we’d just go around and take a look from afar from one of the surrounding boardwalks. Only, when we went around, they had people shining super bright spotlights out at any area that had a view of the stage, so that potential audience members would be forced to pay the way overpriced fee for a guy who essentially hadn’t done anything in 20 years.
