" Now wait a minute...I'm not over 40, haven't even hit 40 yet. I'm 33 and would see a wide variety of these artists. Yes, even Weird Al because some of his parodies are down right hilarious. Poison, Boston, Cheap Trick, Alice Cooper, yep I'd see them all. "

" bigman, I'm in the over 40 crowd.....Big AL..I wouldn't then and definately won't pay money to see him now, but still hear that voice because my kids (13-22) think he is just it ..... after they are done listening to Slipknot...Mudvayne...House of Pain...ICP...and Drowing Pool....Puddle of Mudd (last two I would be happy to pay money to see, thank you cub)....so I guess I would want you to understand that not all of the 40+ crowd wants or cares about country or "old" rock and like you a big share of us will choose not to go but instead listen to what we want on MP3.

" To those who bemoan the lack of under 40 music, one of the reasons is the current big time acts want quite a lot of money to perform (can't blame them, strike while the iron is hot). Another reason is what Cthulu is speaking to, the over 40 crowd has money.

If you really want to see fresh new music, check out Myspace. A lot of bands are doing it themselves (DIY shows). Sort of punk music/garage bands for the 2000's. "

" bigman, it's because what's played on the so-called rock stations for the sub-40 crowd is whiny emo crap. No one wants to pay to hear that garbage. In fact, many would pay NOT to hear it, which is one reason why satellite radio is successful. "

" We've got all three kinds! Country, washed-up rockers, and stuff you'd only hear on public radio. What a lame lineup. "

" Rough... that's why I'll go to Chicago or St Louis for good music (Although the canopy club has been known to bring in some decent acts). "
