When I learn Bob Marley’s band the Wailers is playing a reunion show at a nearby theater the following evening, I go online and buy the first ticket I can find. The founding members are almost seventy and I know this may be my only chance to see the reggae legends. A hundred dollars is more than I’m used to spending on a concert, especially for a seat in the rear of the balcony. I assume this is to be expected when purchasing at the last minute.

It could have been 666, but I wasn’t sure. And then I was in.
