Gimme Some Money

Sentences and paragraphs may not be appropriate here. I'll go for assorted words and sounds to relate the Eddie Money concert in Louisville this evening. "-" will represent a negative. "+" will denote a positive. "-g+" will be used for "other."

- Eddie's police escort from his tour bus to the stage only stuck with him half way there as no one was attempting to get close to him, no one was making a fuss, no one seemed to notice.
+ He was dressed nicely in a coat and tie.
-g+ For a guy at over 60 years old, he still tried to put on a good show.

+ Happily he didn't.
- Tempo was really fast on almost all the songs.
+ Because of that the show ended sooner
-g+ By our wikipedia count, Eddie has sold well over 4 million records... my question, Is the fame he had worth the price of the state he's in now? The addictive destructive lifestyle? Can you separate the two? I don't think I can.
