Like it or not, give them credit for coming up with a cash cow. If kids today will pay 50 cents to simply text their vote into American Idol, imagine how many will pay $2 to listen to 7 live minutes of their favourite band.

If fans are smart, 10 of them will get together and each buy consecutive 7 minute slots to listen to the whole concert for only $20. I'm not a techie but I'm sure there's a way to plug your cell phone into a stereo system and have everyone enjoy a concert from the comfort of their own home.

Ka-ching!

Best,
George
