I think Mad Dawg nailed it regarding celebrity/musicians. In my
previous post I mentioned seeing Sinatra. I knew going in that he was
over the hill, but I wanted to be able to say I'd seen him. Turns out I
really enjoyed the show, even though Frank at that point had large video
monitors on stage with the words, he could still deliver a song. Having
a swinging big band backing him didn't hurt either.
To clarify my comments about Streisand, I've always recognized she has
enormous talent, and is very good at what she does. I just don't happen
to like what she does, and politics has nothing to do with it. So
celebrity or not, I have no desire to see her.
