SourD is right. Those "music acts" are very selfish since many Florida people like them.

That is economically devastating. Beyond the show ticket prices, add in concessions, add in, in most cities, Nashville being ordinary, the home team Predators rely on concerts in the off season supplementing them, as they get 1/3rd the revenue for all other stuff.
I had expected some, but not that many, and not that many who could fill a large venue.

wrong again. Young America goes to concerts not old men. And Young America spends money. Now it is a cause and the dominos will continue to fall.
You may not care but people that make a living off those music acts may take notice. Fans will take notice, Legislators will take notice...old men will be snoring away in bed thinking they still matter...
Correct. This is no different than gun manufacturers thinking of leaving Ct, or Terry Rakolta succeeding in getting advertisers to exit ad campaigns on Married With Children.
The Stones fan base is too old to stay up for a concert and they suck anyway. They're so far past their prime their kids are past their prime. They were god awful at the Superbowl in 2006 and I doubt they've improved over the last 7 years.
