Why is anyone wasting their money on this?
Nostalgia.
Nostalgia is very overated

Sure, these days it is, but back when, we had great nostalgia.

I can't enjoy anything from my childhood or young adulthood now, from a video game to a film, to a toy, anything. I've grown out of it all. I guess I still want to learn, I think I do anyhow. It's the path I put myself on 30 years ago. The more I learn, the more depressing it is.
I'm hoping it's like the Dunning-Kruger Effect, if I go through it, I'll be on top but that slide down is a shithole. Maybe there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I don't see it, but I have to have faith there is. If there is an end, I'll definitely help people through it. It will be a moral responsibility at that point.

I wouldn't pay a dollar to see Mellencamp
I wouldn't see him even if I got paid.

I was too young for the music of the 70s, but I do appreciate that decade more and more as I find all kinds of cool shit from that time. Can, Neu!, Space, etc. I once wrote it off as nothing but Eagles, Peter Frampton, Kiss, and ABBA.
A lot of which wasn't widespread popular then but had a huge influence over time. It's wild to see how musicians later are clearly incorporating some of their techniques and saluting them. Space and Daft Punk, Gary Numan and Everybody (yes, Numan was in the tail end of the 70s). Kraftwerk a big one. But also Can and Neu with the Happy Mondays and the Fall.
The late 70s-very early 80s has a ton of wild shit going on in music and movies and such. I don't think there's been an era like it since for pure range.
I saw him about 15 years ago and it’s pretty clear at that time is was bored and not into really performing. He was a pretty huge jackass here.
I get that he no longer lives in a Little Pink House, but a Mega Mansion, but you gotta be really out of it to see it's not 1985 no more.
And those Blue Dog Union Democrats he thinks are around have long since been replaced by Blue Haired Bureaucrat Harpies
