If Pink can sell out record numbers of shows then it's nothing to do with the economy. I was a fan as a teenager, but I would only go to see them now for a laugh so I wouldn't be paying top dollar for the privillage...maybe if they lowered their ticket price to something more like what they're worth (about $50) and had a bit more advertising (I've seen zilch!) then they'd sell enough tix.

This whole thing has really been blown out of proportion by the Aus media - they showed the worst ever piece of 'journalism' (if you can call it that) on Today Tonight last night, and channel 9 has milked it for all the ratings they can get. I saw Gordon at the good food show on Saturday where he made a couple of jokes about Tracy Grimshaw - they weren't that funny really and I just got the impression he was refering to Tracy Grimshaw as that's the only 'famous' Australian he knew - easy to get a laugh because she's not very popular. I think she would have got a lot more respect if she issued a brief statement saying that it hurt her and she was offended by it, rather than using her 'current affairs' show to go on a big rant about him (ratings!). I can't believe the PM has weighed in on this too - doesn't he have better things to do (like run the country?!). In Gordons words - 'what a load of bollocks!', Gordon should get some better jokes and the rest should just get over it.
