How would you like to sell 800 million sitting on your arse and talking into a microphone?

Boxcar Willie would have blown those away if he had focused on touring rather than pimping K-Tel mail order albums.

She doesn't get the inflated money people spend on tickets.

8 out of the 10 highest-grossing concerts are music acts that started their career before 1990. That says a lot about today's music, no?

Ed doesn’t even have a backing band to split that with. Dude’s making out like a bandit

If you think Ticketmaster is bad now, wait til those 8 acts retire, lol...
In fairness to the infrequent amount of today's acts dominating the charts and box office, I place alot of blame with the emergence of conglomerates like Clear Channel and iHeart Radio gobbling up radio stations and controlling the formats, and you can probably toss in MTV's format change as well. There are other factors of course, but the aforementioned things really shrunk the pipeline for artists to get to the next level...

The numbers from the 2020s are half of the prior decade and many of the artists are from bygone generations. That tells me live music is dying a slow death and very little new music is finding an audience.
