OT: Super Bowl best ad

Tons of Kendrick Lamar ticket sales coming out of Compton!

Where did ticket sales come from? You posted audience, with a flawed demographic stat at that, as pointed out.

Kind of the enigma of music written with a primary audience of poor folks. My wife and I both make six-figures with a lot of disposable income and paying 300 bucks to go see a popular artist is hard to justify anymore.

I would imagine that's true of most rappers. 60% of the country is still white after all. Black is, what, 10-15% or something?

Yep and white householders have something like 10 times more money on average than black householders.

I've been to over one hundred rap concerts and the audience is always a majority white guys. Kendrick Lamar's wealth is built off of white guys spending money on his music.

The big name concerts in arenas are just not worth it anymore. Although I did go to Doobie Brothers/Steve Winwood at MSG this fall and it was good. Youngest guy there by a long shot though.

Talking Heads would’ve been fun, I must admit.

Too bad the SB was still in its Up With People phase during the Big Suit era.

If you live in Minnesota, they are playing the State Fair this year! Big gig. (Just being a tool...) Not a Def Lep fan in the least; although I admit Pyromania and Hysteria had cool cover art.

My wife set up a weekend trip with friends to Ocean City, MD as my Christmas gift for a music festival headlined by Def Leppard in May. Also playing are Motley Crue, Bush, Everclear, Nickleback, Three Days Grace, Alice Cooper, Candlebox, Fuel among others.

I thought it was going to be Anna Kendrick and some guy named Lamar.

Thought she'd do a play on Cups, but with athletic supporters. Then I found out football players don't wear cups anymore, so I changed channels and watched Jag re-runs and yelled at some kids to get off my lawn.

Yeah..You wouldn't want them to mess up the snow angels.
