Rachel's Attitude

[L. Bird]

And pick up that steely-eyed look that Roger generally has?  And Pete, too.

It comes from dealing with the music business, don't you think?  Since 
Rachel started out, she's been shit on by Universal, constantly flamed by 
trolls, expected to give away music for free, and courted by false fans who 
only want to see Pete.  All the time, she's worked like a slave to put 
together her shows, done them without sleep, in blasting heat and run into 
debt doing it.  Sound familiar?

I'd say changes in her statements about the tix have to do with seeing the 
demand.  There are more than 75 people wanting tix, an indication that there 
will be a bidding war.  I'll bet she's had a bit of thought on Roger's 
financial philosophy, looked at her costs, and she's going to put a pretty 
steep price on this gig coming up.  If not, then she needs to.
