Caitlin's Entertainment Report He's on the Fresh Show.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Beyonce's fans are frustrated after seeing ticket prices for her
Cowboy Carter tour fluctuate, with some finding cheaper tickets available
after they paid for a pre sale ticket. So one
fan named Jessica Chu posted online saying, if you got
tickets to the La Cowboy Carter Tour stuff and want
to ruin your own day, go look at the price
of tickets now. A spokesperson for stub Hub says the

(00:27):
price variation is due to supply and demand, the number
of tour dates in a given city, and timing of purchase.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
The last one, I have a problem with timing of purchase.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
While ticket Master denies using searge pricing for dynamic algorithms
to manipulate prices, Fans like Jessica question if pre sales
might be contributing to higher initial costs desprite the frustrations,
demand for, of course, Beyonce's tour is still high. It's
Beyonce with prices aligning with her previous tours average cost.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
But yeah, I'd be pissed if I.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Got pre sale, you know, because I think the pre
sale shouldn't be a surge pricing, right, it should just
be the you know, original price of the ticket.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
I think the searge.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
Pricing would apply when like they're out of tickets, right.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
Like based on demand. Right when you're doing exel, you
don't know what the demand is because they're not un.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
Sale yet correct, And now the prices are dropping in
some cities and they're like, wait, what the hell? I
should be rewarded for being, you know, a good fan
and going early. And of course it's not the artist,
not Beyonce's fault, but we gotta do something about it.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
So Kid Rock get back in the White House in
a while.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
Throwback to the nineties, Green Day's Billy Joe Armstrong, Kiki's favorite,
gave some behind the scenes tea.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
About what they call him. They call him Billy Jeal.
Yeah it's his name. Yeah, they call him Billy jokes him.
She was right, he does have spiky hair.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
He gave some behind the scenes tea about Lallapalooza nineteen
ninety four. Turns out Perry Farrell, who's the frontman of
Jane's Addiction and Lala co founder, initially rejected green Day
from the lineup, calling them a boy band.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
He didn't want them on the bill at all.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
The drama's detailed in the new book Lallapalooza, The Uncensored
Story of Alternative Rock Wildest Festival apparently, and that's the
longest title of a book ever. Perry thought the Green
Day was a manufactured acts, but after some convincing, he
agreed to let them play the tour, only half of
the tour, though, splitting time with Japanese band The Boredoms.
Billy Joe wasn't shy about his feelings either, calling Perry

(02:16):
and e Fing a hole and dedicating the song Chumped
to him him while live on stage at Lalla, and
when Perry's team complained, Billy said, tell him to stop
acting like one. The two later cross paths at Woodstock
nineteen ninety four and they had a really awkward handshake,
and that was that.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
I have to look up whether or not they have
played since, but it feels like they maybe would have.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
I got to look it up and I'll have an
answer for you.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
The first time I saw Green Day live was in
San Antonio, and I don't know why I remember. I
remember this because it was the first time, and this
is before like TikTok, and everybody was going viral on
their phone. And it was the first time that I
had seen a band hand a guitar to someone in
the audience, like a kid, and the kid goes up
there and shreds it him the guitar, and it was

(03:01):
the first time I'd seen this before. And I was like,
that is unbl I remember the person I was with.
I was I think Tony Travado was there, our friend.
I was, yeah, I was like, uh yes, he was
the program director of Mixed ninety six to one, San
Antonio's number one hit music station. That's right, And I was,
I was, I was a rock shocking the mic at night.
Oh yeah, yeah, doing a hot girl check in San

(03:21):
Antonio's Most Wanted the top five songs at eight o'clock. Yeah,
write them all down, counting back at the end. You
win a pizza.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
Pizza, Yeah, your.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
Chance to win. Yeah, the only way you got to
write all the songs down.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
You don't remember this, do you remember this?

Speaker 3 (03:37):
Growing up? Every top forty station had the wacky night
show that was me, all the wacky screaming and yelling
and the wacky bits.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
And then we had them.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
We had it was uh ninety six to seven Kiss FM,
all of Austin's hit music, not just some of it,
with the Austin's Most Wanted countdown all the I can't
do the whole spiel anymore. I used to do it
all fast, countdown all five songs and then write and
call I don't remember what it was. You had to
write them all down and then call me at the
end of the thing. And that I would say what
was song number four? And you have to say what

(04:07):
was song number two? You'd have to know them all
and then you want to pizza pizza anyway. So that
was the first time to see the gimmick. But see,
now I realize that this happens all the time, and
it gets captured all the time. They almost can't do
it anymore because it's like, surely they scouted the kid
out somehow, because there's no way, Like very rarely do
you see a video of them doing that and the
guy goes up there and doesn't know what he's doing.

(04:28):
Almost every time I've seen it happen, the person's amazing. Yeah,
So I feel like now they like find these people
and they invite them and they do the thing. But
at the time, I'd never seen it before, and I
was like, that is amazing.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
Yeah, I wonder if they're ever just natural and real
and they just trust the person or not.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
But yeah, we've never seen it. Mess up.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
I'm like, kid that kid was. It was perfect.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
It seems like a prodigy.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
It was amazing, and even like Billy Joe was like,
this is amazing, and like hands them the guitar and
gibbs and now I realize they have like they do
it every city.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
How do they do that?

Speaker 2 (04:55):
I don't believe it to you at Cheeron is gearing
up to drop his eighth studio album, Play, and it's
said to be his most diverse and playful record yet.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
He was on call.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
Her Daddy told Alex Cooper that instead of doing the
usual usual single, drop then album, he's rolling out new
music every two or three weeks to showcase a full
range of sounds and it's all different. So first up
was the track Asizam, which pulls influence from Persian music,
followed by the upcoming Old Phone, which leans into Nashville country.
He said the album reflects a new attitude why the

(05:25):
f not After spending time in India, collaborating with musicians
from all over the world. Ed wanted to break out
of the singer songwriter mold, and with Play, he's going
for bright, colorful, celebratory, a major shift from his emotional
tone of his last two albums and autumn variations. No
word on the official release date, but I will tell
you when I know, and yeah, I'm excited to hear
