This is amazing! I can’t wait! Last year’s Billy Joel concert at Shea was one of the best experience of my life, no joke. I took a shitty video of Macca’s appearance there.
Paul McCartney will be the first artist to perform at Citi Field in Flushing, NY. The three shows are currently scheduled for July 17-18, and the concerts, more than 40 years after McCartney’s...

ZL: Hm. I don't know.
ZL: Never said "thank you" in Hebrew.
ZL: Gracias?
This was awesome.

NEW YORK—Dukes, barons, viscounts, and earls are applauding the Yankees’ recent decision to cut prices on dugout and foul-line field-level seats in half, from as much as $2,500 per game down to an amount the minor houses consider far more reasonable.
