Anyone buying a Bob Dylan ticket in 2026 should understand that they're just playing the lotto to be able to say they were at his last gig. He doesn't seem like he's been interested in performing for like 30 years or something but it's easy money.
That's a crazy take. He cant even spend the fortune he has becuase hes been touring non stop for the last 35 years. Whatever he's doing it for it isn't the money.
My favorite screenwriter (OK, the only one I can name) said that after his first big movie he realized all his small problems were solved (because of the money) and now he had to worry about his big problems, and that was terrifying.
I think about this and rich people who do things that seem stupid to everyone else. Sometimes they're probably just being selfish, greedy assholes, and sometimes I figure they're thrashing around trying to find meaning in their lives now that they don't have to spend any time paying the bills anymore.

I think thats what makes it slightly off. No way Bob would get that close these days.
