Good News!! My paranoia about a sellout for White Stripes tickets in Chicago turned out to be baseless. Quality paranoia wasted heh?
In fact, according to the evil Ticketmaster.com, tickets are still on sale three days later. I actually thought this show might sell out in two minutes!! Seeing dozens of Jack and Meg’s eyes staring at me from the cover of every music magazine at the newsstand has given me a false sense of how popular this band is in the big city. I mean, sure, in Newport News or Raleigh, they aren’t that big. But I thought different in the Big City.
Perhaps this shows how hopeless un-cool we Virginians are. That I actually admit I like the White Stripes, when a Wicker Park or Williamsburg hipster knows that it’s The Kills who are deck now, and that all this media exposure the Stripes are getting is fin.
Oh well, trying to please a hipster is a hopeless task.
