So and so.
Il pensiero OT però, è constatare come, pur non piacendomi questa tizia, l'Italia sia considerata "periferia" musicale, a livello di grossi eventi e grossi nomi, tranne sporadici casi durante l'anno (v.Umbria Jazz).
 
Evidentemente ha soldi da buttar via. Ci pensino, coloro i quali acquistano i biglietti dei concerti....

Si chiama promozione, tutti i soldi che "butta via" con questo tour, ritorneranno moltiplicati con le vendite dell'album.
Non capisco l'affermazione su coloro che acquistano i biglietti dei concerti.
