To me, it's another of those live and let live, one man's meat, to each their own, you take the high road, different strokes for different horses, different courses for different folks, you say tomato, I say two words and they ain't Merry Christmas, etc., type of things. I've never had, and, I predict, never will have, any interest in seeing a tribute band. However, I've never put five minutes into concocting a philosophical objection; I'm satisfied to simply acknowledge that the idea doesn't appeal to me, and leave it at that. I have a musician-friend who periodically goes to Las Vegas, and comes back telling me about some tribute band he saw, how cheap the price of admission was, how good the music was, etc. I listen politely, but it's just not my cup of poison.
