Why are ticket prices for classic artists getting so expensive?  Are the artist's looking for their last big pay day?  By last, I mean until they say they had so much fun that they're going to keep on going.  Or is it the promoter?  Who knows, but at this point I wonder if they will price themselves out of the market.  Will Ragman pay these high prices or wait for the BluRay?  Tune in to find out.  Next Ragman walcomes back Rox and Luca from Shape of Water for an update.  The guys discuss their last album Petrichor and how it has been recived.  They also discuss some of the deeper meanings behind some of their songs.  We also have Frederico from Shiva May Care talking about his band and more.  All of this and much more on this episode.  So grab a beer, buckle in and get those horns up..
