I'd go for $5,000 and I'd take ear plugs and a good book Ann Colter's "Godless"

Would that twist Barbra fans' panties up or what?

5,000 dollars is a lot of money. She should reduce them to five dollars or something reasonable. She does not even need money. Why are all these rich folks trying to screw the little guy? Although, I guess it is not working...

$300-500 a ticket to see Jimmy Buffett'


A worthwhile amount and quite reasonable. I mean I could not do that everyday, but once in awhile it is doable. 5,000 dollars??? Not so much. I mean Babs might be a legend but not to many generations left. I don't see my family going to see her. Gen X never really got her anyway. However Jimmy is just a fun guy and would put on a fun concert with before and after parties.

" I wouldn't go to see that whench if they paid me $5,000."
You could snooze through the concert with your Ipod earbuds on.
Then, take the $5,000 and buy a small ad in The New York Times in which you could openly question Keller's integrity.

Interesting. I might have a different view than most FREEPERS because I don't necessarily mind if someone is liberal as long as they keep their BIG MOUTH SHUT. I haven't heard Jimmy saying anything so to me his politics are a non issue. In fact, if you hadn't said anything, I would not have know what he thought about politics one way or another. I like it when stars don't give their views.

I can see the Babs' show now.


She steps out on stage to a "roar" of a single patron occupying the front row. It's George Soros sporting his mayo-stained jacket. One other in attendance: Michael Moore in the cheap seats.

And in the biggest shocker of all, Babs is even bombing in Boston, the heartland of blue state America.

Instead, Streisand’s grand - and possibly final - tour is down to 14 shows, with doubles only in New York and south Florida.

Isn't this like the 15th "final" concert tour?

They're so sweet-looking. Plus anything which slows down a liberal in Florida is beneficial to us all. :)

Babs:Hello there little boy, do you know who I am?

Kyle:No.

Babs:Uh, I bet you do.[Singing]I'm going where there's lucky clovers in the s....

Kyle:Ahh! Stop that!

Stan:Yuck, that sucks dude!

Babs:I'm Barbara Streisand!

Kyle:So.

Babs:So, hmm, huh, well, so I'm a very famous and very important individual.

Stan:Like John Elway important?

Babs:What?!?

Stan:Do you know John Elway?

Babs:No.

Stan:Oh, so you're really famous and important, but you don't know John Elway?

We usually go to Irvine, Ca. or Vegas. I prefer Irvine because of the parking lot party.
Yes, it is worth every dime! We have a great time.

Yeah well our ticket stubbs still say stuff like $75.00 on them. The brokers are making a killing off him.

If people would just hang their clothes on a line outside they'd save enough on electricity to pay for a ticket after a few years.

She pledged to funnel millions from her tour to - what else, the Streisand Foundation - to “combat dangerous climate change”...

If she would just shut her pie hole the amount of noxious gases and hot air emissions would plunge dramatically.
