To be a live music fan these days is a roller-coaster experience. You get excited to see an artist or a band, hit the internet to pick up concert tickets, and then are gobsmacked by how much they cost. So then you find yourself faced with an unexpected existential question: Just how much do you like Shakira or Kendrick Lamar or Billie Eilish? Enough to shell out a third of your monthly rent? Maybe you start to get real delusional and make some weird choices. A couple of years ago, I flew to Buenos Aires to see Taylor Swift — the tickets were much cheaper there, and even with the flight, I didn't wind up spending that much more than if I'd seen her in the US.
