I've never understood the popularity of Billy Joel. Everything about him just screams mediocrity.

Me neither. He has a handful of good songs, but that doesn't justify caring about him on any real level. Who doesn't have a few good songs?

I'd rather sit through a five hour opera than have to listen to Billy Joel.

Sing us a song you're the piano man...

Ugh. Where's my cyanide pill??

This is 100% correct. Both U2 and Oasis have many, many good songs.

I get that Wrigley Field is old but could they get an act that isn't old as well? Jimmy Buffett, Police, Paul McCartney, Elton John, Roger Waters, Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

There aren't that many acts capable of selling out a 35,000+ seat venue. Who would you have play there?

I would tend to agree with your assessment but the fan base has to be able to afford the high ticket prices.
Hipsters living in their parents basements usually have their money tied up in skinny jeans and fedoras.

I don't think he's terrible, just never understood the legendary status. He belongs in the Rock and Roll Hall Of Very Good.

Cubbie allowance can be used on concert instead of games.
