There have been a lot of ticketing mishaps this year.  Taylor Swift, Morgan Wallen, Zach Bryan, basically any big name has caused problems.  

I am not here to figure out the problem.  Those issues are way above me. (a few thoughts below)  I just want real fans to get the tickets...  There has been practices of releasing tickets directly to secondary seller sites... *cough Metallica*.  That isn't celebrating your fans, it is ripping them off.  

I don't think the bots and the scalpers are going to stop online.  It is just too easy to buy all the tickets online thru presales and general sales.  The only way to stop or at least help fans get the tickets in their hands... make it the person who buys the ticket, THEY and ONLY THEY HAVE TO USE IT!  On shows like Taylor Swift there is a waiting list till the end of time.  Person can't go they have to notify within a time frame and Refund the ticket price to that ticket holder with the next person on the list getting the open ticket.  Basically, lock out those just trying to make money off the artist and promoters.  (Especially this Morgan Wallen Show Free Ticket someone is going to make a lot of money.)

Some thoughts: The Airlines are not perfect.  But frequent flyers get pre-boarding screening, why not do that, go to a location and insure it is the ticket buyer.  At the airport you still get a ticket/gate check and a security check just like you do at a concert.  If it isn't you- you can't come in.  Yeah, entry to the show might be a nightmare, but the venue will make more money getting fans in early.  

I truly respect Morgan Wallen's decision playing a free show in Nashville.  I would have made it 1 ticket per person, but so be it.   IT IS HIS SHOW.  The show sold out for tonight (3/3) in just an hour+.  Tickets are already on ticket sites for well over a $1,000.  So here is a guy trying to celebrate his fans, promote the new album and people are still ruining it.  

Well Lainey is on a roll...  Bell Bottom Country has taken the world by storm...

Today, I did a thing.  As I said, when I was a kid day-dreaming consumed most of my days... (or daze hahah)   

Being President's Day makes me think of the 4 on Mt. Rushmore.  In my head, I want to picture Country Music's Mt. Rushmore.

There were sooo many more but I can't remember all the calls.... Texts were still rollin in when I was passing the mic to Rachel.

Maybe you have seen the Mario Bros. looking boots that have been popping up.  Check out Seth Rollins on The WWE

There was an art collective that put them together and it seems like influencers are trying to make them a Big Ol' Red thing.

If you want a pair of the 'Astro Boy' Red Boots they will cost you, starting at $350... 

I think Big Red Cowboy Boots would be interesting. Just sayin.  Or Yosemite Sam Boots, that make your feet real tiny.  Those would be funny.

I think, I will pass on these.
