…that awkward moment when your tuner doesn’t turn on in orchestra and everyone is looking at you, waiting for a pitch, but all they get is a flustered and red face from you, meanwhile you are convinced the end of the world has come because your tuner needs batteries and the second oboe player doesn’t feel the need to own a tuner, but then you realize you just didn’t push the “power” button long enough and it comes right on.

Anyway, Madonna believes it, that’s for sure!
Madonna believes that it will be well “worth it” for fans to pay $300 a pop to see her next tour.
As the Material Girl told Newsweek about her plans to tour in support of her upcoming album, “M.D.N.A,” the star seemed highly dismissive of fan complaints about high ticket prices.
“Start saving your pennies now,” said Madonna. “People spend $300 on crazy things all the time, things like handbags. So work all year, scrape the money together, and come to my show. I’m worth it.”
