When is enough, enough?
That must be some Canadian thinking. In the U$A it is never enough, never enough.

I was more than happy to pay to see Hubert Sumlin and Honeyboy Edwards when they were in their 80s and 90s, Johnny Cash in his 70s, Lemmy in his late 60s, and I am still happy to see Richard Thompson and/or Neil Young any night of the week while each is in his 70s (okay, so Thompson will turn 70 in 2019; close enough).

I didn't think it was that hard to understand. When will they have enough money? When Buffett first started to have success he said, "If I make enough to buy a boat I'll be happy" I wonder how many boats and planes he has now?
My favorite Groucho line—“too much is enough”.

As an aside, we saw John Sebastian twice in the past ten - twelve years. He does a one man acoustic show where he sings a few of his songs and gives a great commentary of the times. He's now a better storyteller than a singer nowadays.
The second time we saw him, his voice had deteriorated greatly.
He's charming, entertaining, I love his music but his voice is long gone. I can see where royalties for his songs might in the fifty years since his heyday might have dried up and quite possibly he needs the money. I'm pretty sure the performers of that era didn't make the same money the ones today do, even taking inflation into account.
I see he's got am event in a local listening room scheduled here I just might go for old times sake, but not to hear the music.

'Enough' in 'General Audio ' doesn't say 'When does Buffet have enough money ' to me. I thought it meant something about having enough audio gear.
Exactly. I heard an interview (Amrstrong and Getty) with William Shatner a few years ago. The hosts asked him, "why do you keep doing ads and records and everything else, why dont you just take it easy?" And he said "Its what I do".
Some people love what they do and cant even think of stopping.....and why should they if people still go to see them? I could care less how much somebody else makes, its really nobodies business anyway. Do people actually expend brain power about what other people do for a living?
