Every other time the originals came to the area, I was working 6 nites/week. I've seen the newer versions about 8 times with my daughter, including 4 times with EWF. Helluva double bill. And got to meet the surviving originals of both bands. $$$ but cool.Me too, July and Dec 1969 at the Whiskey. Pete was pretty good too!
Wife Carey has a very old "Go Phone" plan by AT&T. Some of you remember last year she got very sick and for the last half of the year she never used her phone. I'm usually the primary cell user. Well, after January, returning home, she still didn't use it for quite some time. She had $74 on it. Well, Some $300,000 a year bean counter at AT&T came up with a brilliant plan-- "forfeit" the minutes or actually the dollars if they aren't used in a year. I called up and explained, and the best the lady could do was refund $10!
But she said Carey could keep that $10 for an entire year! If they're doing that to Carey's phone-- how many hundreds of thousands of dollars are they gaining in forfeitures? Amazing-- how can these people look themselves in the face in the morning when they shave (or put on makeup, whatever the case).
More than that, they keep trying to get rid of her account because it's really such a cheap plan with no data. Who needs a data plan really, with all the Wi-Fi around anymore. I guess I'm just whining, but I don't like what people do to other people sometimes. AT&T is just using a scam tactic to steal hundreds of thousands of dollars from other people. Harrumph!

Unfortunately, this is exactly how they really are.
