Staind frontman Aaron Lewis is performing a concert at his alma mater, Longmeadow High School, to benefit the creative arts department there. Tickets to the show, Nov. 4 at 7:30, are $100 (includes a meet-and-greet with Lewis) and $60 and are on sale now in the school office.
Lewis, while possessing all the talent and charisma of a cardboard box, is clearly a benevolent sort. And based on his body of work, I think we can all agree that Longmeadow's creative arts deparment is sorely in need of help. With that in mind, let's consider the ticket prices ; $100 to witness a solo performance by Lewis is quite reasonable (compared to say, a $600 toilet seat), so why not up the ante a bit? $100 to enter, another $200 to leave early. $1500 for Lewis' frontal lobe. Either you're serious about helping the kids or you're not.
