SCALPERS TAKE ADVANTAGE OF JIMMY BUFFETT CHARITY GULF CONCERT - Broadway To Vegas column - June 27, 2010

http://www.broadwaytovegas.com/June27,2010.html

The people who bought tickets are as bad as the scalpers. Instead of spending money on tickets they should have donated the money to help the people and those poor oil covered animals. Give the money where it would do some good, then stay home and watch the concert on TV or take your chances at getting a free ticket the honest way.

Just because you had a class in modern dance doesn't mean you have what it takes to be a burlesque dancer. Not even a drunk will tip a bad dancer so they get weeded out. The good ones have style. Don't knock it if you haven't tried it.
