Wilco added a third date at the Greystones as he loves Sheffield. Like the first two it has now sold out. Like the first two, I just couldn't bring myself to buy a ticket. I last saw him the best part of forty years ago, and thought that there were fans more avid than myself who deserved the chance to say farewell in such special intimate surroundings. I would be depriving one of them. Like Madness, I've liked him hugely but from afar, but never bought an album. I'm greatly upset by his news, but that's not good enough a reason to go in the circumstances. There are those that love. The thought that there may be people outside demanding huge sums from these people makes my blood boil. To call them scum is an insult to scum.
