THe Concert T-shirt Fetish

USA Today has this almost nauseating piece on concert tees and other related-merch that fails to mention what might interest concert-goers the most about the subject: you're paying exorbitant prices at shows because the venue charges the band a practically prohibitive percentage to sell their wares. (By the way, that person selling you a t-shirt at the enormodome, or your local 5,000-seater, is a venue employee, so they can keep better track of sales.)

Oh, and the "Rock That Shirt Right" sidebar--with its concert tee ettiquette--is just plain lame.
