John, (if thats your name)

go stick one of your lit cigarettes up your ass and listen up,

you mean to tell me no one would pay that $60-$80 price? I think you're in 
neverland.    by the way, I think the money goes to you. i've noticed you've 
been growing a huge gut since the last tour.  I suggest you and the who be 
like your "friends" pearl Jam and protest these rediculous prices.  give back 
to the fans for a change.  for if it weren't for your fans, you wouldn't be 
here today. you never got a fuckin no. 1 hit so you definitely didn't survive 
with a top hit on your hands.    for a "quiet one", you really have a "noisy 
ego".      i'm sure you're used to playing in front of half empty concert 
halls, but I doubt daltrey and townshend does.
