Dear Mary,

The show last night was magnificent - hope you made up your mind to go. Either way, thanks for not writing another 750 words about the subject.

Regards,

Tracy

Make up your damn mind already

This Chicago Tribune column has been on my nerves for about two days now.

Setting aside for a moment the absurdity of calling a 3600-seat theatre with immaculate sightlines “a large space,” the wishy-washiness on display is stunning. It doesn’t seem to be a difficult choice. Here is a legendary artist on what may be his final concert tour, performing in a splendid theater, with tickets that are expensive for the best seats, but certainly within the budget of a Tribune columnist, to say nothing of a DePaul statistician. Cough up ~100 dollars as I did and go. You won’t regret it.

So why spend 750 words on the subject, without any sort of conclusion?
