Hell Freezes Over Again -- Eagles Tour, But They Won't Play New York (my title)
Variety

An excerpt ...

"The event will be presented by Anschutz Entertainment Group's Concerts West division. The deal represents a major coup for the underdog concert promoter, which has been fighting an uphill battle for business against industry behemoth Clear Channel Entertainment.

The Eagles pact follows Concert West's earlier success in wooing teen queen Britney Spears' upcoming national tour. Meanwhile, Clear Channel has struggled in recent months with sales declines amid a tough economic backdrop, resulting in the ouster of co-chiefs of music Rodney Eckerman and Irv Zuckerman earlier this week."

Interesting to see this billionaire is an 'active force'.

Billionaires certainly can be national assets. Look at Stephen Girard and Milton Hershey. Now if Mr. Gates would provide scholarships to kids trapped in horrific inter-city schools, he might gain a bit more respect from the community. But it's his money and if he wants to use it to promote left-wing, liberal causes--so be it. He might even want to invest in a clean movie LOL.
