dianavan, while I enjoy much of what you post, I have noted (pretty hard to miss) that you have great disdain for the U.S. So it begs the question, why were you here? And if it happened in Canada, would that have made it OK? You make quite a point of the fact that Barenaked Ladies is Canadian, and that is OK with me because I am a huge fan of Canadian performers, and count many among my best musical friends. But is it being Canadian that somehow makes them immune from the obvious greed being demonstrated here? Or are we just dealing with money being the root of all evil? I have seen money grubbing practices in Canada as well. My point is that you never miss an opportunity to knock what happens over here as if we are the root of all evil.

Please get my context, I am just trying to balance out the issue. This is about greed and silliness. Would that I had the time, I would start a campaign against all venues that forbid water from entering. I think that access is an right and that concert venues ought be forced to provide it.
