The Stooges, Oprah and Clapton, Oh My

     I am confused because of I saw online earlier that the band that will be performing to at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame next week to honor Madonna is THE STOOGES!!!!!  WHAT?!?!?!?!  Why????  What do The Stooges have to do with Madonna???  This is one step up from Gogol Bordello performing with her last year at Live Earth. 
    I watched Oprah today.  I know, I know, it's Oprah, but it was good so don't judge me.  The guest was Bill Cosby.  They were discussing the degeneration of the Black American society.  They were discussing how blacks went from fighting to be able to go to good school with the whites with Brown vs. Board of Education to barely education their kids.  There was a survey done that said apparently about 70% of black children are born to single mothers and 38% of all black males born today will spend time in prison in their life at some time.  A lot of people complain about the black youth when they should blame the parents.  It was a good show.
    I got excited today because Eric Clapton is coming to the Tweeter Center in June.  But then I researched the ticket price and found the ticket price is between $57 and $133.  Its not worth it.  There are so many good concerts this summer but they too expensive.
