Arnold Can't Get No Satisfaction

Yesterday the Boston Herald reported that Schwarzenegger is having to cut the ticket price at his Rolling Stones fundraiser in Boston from $100k each to $20k each...and he's moving onto the field and out of the private box.

Today, they write:

The Rolling Stones, who have managed to stay mostly apolitical for their 40-plus years in the limelight, find themselves in the middle of a bipartisan brouhaha as they kick off their American tour at Fenway Park.

     Whilst their new tune ``Sweet Neo Con'' is rankling conservatives, liberals and union activists are annoyed that California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is throwing a $10,000- to $100,000-a-head fund-raiser at Sunday's show.
     ``It's kind of amusing,'' said band publicist Fran Curtis, ``one day we're getting yelled at over `Sweet Neo Con' and another day about Schwarzenegger. In a world where everyone's entitled to have an opinion, we don't ask people what they believe when they come in the door. Everyone's welcome.''
     Of course – at ticket prices that top out at $450 – why wouldn't they be???
     But we have to think that the Stones can't be too thrilled that The Governator is threatening to upstage them as he heads to town, trailing controversy and protesters.
     Hundreds of California nurses are planning to picket Sunday's show to protest what they say are Schwarzenegger's Heart Of Stone health-care policies. They will be joined by a contingent of Massachusetts nurses, teachers, firefighters, and activists.

They exaggerated the part about 100's, it's really 12 to 15 flying out there, plus all our Massachusetts friends...
