Tickets for the Four Seasons at the Fox go on sale today ...

     ... and I think I won't be in line to buy, not at those prices.
     Saw Jersey Boys last year, same venue, sat mesmerized as my youth unfolded. Great show.
     But I had the honor of seeing the Four Seasons back when they were young and recording hits and playing on the Steel Pier in Atlantic City four times a day, four times during each Summer season. Paid a buck for entry to the Pier every time. I have all their music on records, cassettes, CD's and MP3's.
     I worked in radio during the awful time we found out that Valli had gone deaf and cheered when he eventually recovered.
     I watched Frankie Vallie's Soprano's character getting a couple shots in the head on HBO, dying a gangster's death.
     I just think I don't want to watch Frankie Valli and Bob Gaudio try to recreate my memories. They were better in 1962 and 1963.
     'Course, if you wanted me and Mrs. A to be your guests for one of the concerts....
