AC/DC beat out Lady Gaga? Interesting.
60-year-olds have more disposable cash than 12-year-olds. Look at the list--plenty of old people who can charge $200/ticket.

No way should any DJ in the world be making more than a million a year for standing behind a pair of turntables and waving their hands in the air...what a joke.

It's true they make a sh*t load, Louie DeVito used to drive a yellow Ferrari or was it a Lamborghini and this was back when NYC Underground Vol. 3 hit it big.

And those pop singers whose voice is crafted by a computer and the instruments are recorded?¿ what is more pitiful?
Now i can't judge tiesto but in the past the track selection didn't look random and the beatmatching was fine enough that's a bit more than waving the hands in front of the crowd. I can't jump like a monkey composing clown poses for 3 hours without any drug, this is something valuable too.

At least the pop singers have a performance element to it with the dancing and must have a stage presence.
Some of these DJ's? They just bury their heads in their laptops and click a button to play a song. No instrumentation or anything.
