I remember hearing the Big Bopper’s song Chantilly Lace on the radio, but I don’t think I ever saw him on TV. I was surprised to be able to find a video of him performing on YouTube! When I found this video, I grabbed my wife and made her dance with me. She thought I was crazy! But it was fun!
I can remember when I was a teenager, it was very difficult to buy tickets to go to events. First of all, teenagers didn’t have credit cards to use and their parents wouldn’t dream of lending their credit card to their teenagers! And it was simply unheard of for a teenager to have a debit card, or even a checking account for that matter! So if a teenager wanted to buy a ticket to an event they pretty much had to travel to a place that sold the tickets and pay cash for the tickets. And sometimes that meant driving more than an hour to get there just to buy the ticket for an event that might be months away!
That’s one of the amazing things about today. Today many teenagers have debit cards and the Internet gives them access to tickets to just about any and every event you can imagine! Without even leaving their chair they can go online and buy TD Banknorth Garden Tickets, Garth Brooks Tickets, Madison Square Garden tickets, CEASARS PALACE TICKETS, Verizon Center Tickets – you name the place and you can probably get the tickets. Teenagers sure have it easy!
