too bad he's never written a song in his life lol.
but then again you could argue that Strait is the face of country, an embodiment of all the writers and grassroots artists radiating all their creative energy through one medium.
What would you pay $250 to see? Hitler resurrected with all proceeds going to the 4th Reich? Chris Benoit so you could see him roided up and flying off the turnbuckle? Or perhaps Dear Leader Kim Il Sung, for obvious reasons? I'd pay to see all 3 tbh

Only good for camp value. The "sequel" (nothing at all to do with the original) is indescribably bad. Only viewable as an attempt to figure out how such a film ever got made. Grossed $133,771 at the box office.
And Strait can do whatever he wants and charge whatever he wants for it. You can't call a guy out if you didn't even try to get a ticket.
Other things you could do with $200
buy 40 cups of starbucks..
I'd pay $250 if Eva could get resurrected too and I got to plow her while listening to one of Adolph's great speeches live (not sure which would make me first tbh). Girl looks fine as here at the 3:05 mark.
I gotta start a porn company and produce a movie where they have a big Nazi orgy at Hitler's vacation home.
I'd also pay the $250 to hear Lenin sing this inspirational anthem
I don't think George has much input personally into how much to charge for tickets (I'm referring to previous comments about how he can "charge whatever he wants", and "supply and demand"). I'm sure he's making a nice salary, how many other salaries are dependent on ticket sales/prices? It takes tons of people to put on a show like that, not to even mention the top-billed acts that open for him----you know that Reba demanded a big chunk!
I listened to a podcast the other day with Ringo Starr and Todd Rundgren where they went into great detail about these tours and how they are managed financially, who pays for what and how the profits are divvied. The biggest money makers are the tours with corporate sponsors of course, and those sponsors really rake it in, but there just aren't too many artists or craftspeople getting big time rich off of those.
Nice analogy. He'll be court side at the games here soon, he even led the crowd in a Go Spurs Go chant!
Nbadan is...Nick Diaz?
Whoa.
Well, George has all that energy in a baggy that he can use to keep producing.
the dude is bad ass, i think well worth the price of the ticket
George Strait is the man, I grew up listening to him. My parents use to go see him at Cheatham Street in San Marcos when he was in college at Southwest Texas State.
I'm sure he's making a nice salary...you have Tejano artists who make crap donating their time for charity events, quiesenias, bar-b-q plate get-togethers...why can't George sell $6 plates and donate his time to SA kids?
Does it have to always be for the dollar? Where is the humanity George? You can't take it with you...
Where are you George?
Hard to beat country music if ya want something real. That old Jimmie Rodgers, Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys, Hank Williams, Lefty Frizzell, Patsy Cline stuff....classic. Then ya get into Johnny, Merle, George, Marty, Waylon and Willie. All had some influense on Alan Jackson, Brooks & Dunn and yep, George Strait. Some of the greatest music ever played right there.
I don't know what's more re ed: Nbadan thinking that George Strait fans are en led to see him in concert or Nbadan expecting George Strait to come to SpursTalk to defend himself.
Ouch.
For once I agree with you.
Besides, we have no idea how much he gives to charities. I'll bet he gives quite a bit.
blah
at the concert they gave away a house to a militarty couple. i think george was involved in that but i also somewhat agree, This being San Antonio they should bring back some of the major tejano artist at the San Antonio Rodeo instead of having them outside smh lol
