I agree about the presales. I hate 2nd party ticket purchasing in general. I rarely go to concerts anymore just to avoid ticket buying, handling fees, extravagant parking, and crappy warm up bands :/. Festival seating is the way to go. If only Pearl Jam had won their war against ticketmaster...
To me, this seems to be a song about a young adult who is finding it difficult surviving in the the real world (job, roof over the head, etc.). S/he looks to a friend/brother for advice and that's why they "talk."
Besides, the song says "so you feel like you're going where you've been before" and CM only has one kid that I know of. :huh:
