Sign of the times we are in, very selfish world we live in at the moment with very little thought for consequence and the affect behaviour has on others
You’ve perfectly summed it all up in one sentence. Sadly.
I'll admit I don't entirely get it, but from what I can tell, the sportswriters who bang on about it are judging teams for not scoring as many goals as they should. Rather than admitting their over-engineered prediction was wrong.
People that say “I much prefer winter to summer”. Oh yeah, social hours in darkness and arctic conditions over shorts and a beer garden. Goth behaviour.
The price of concert tickets, particularly at larger venues. Over £200 a ticket to see Fleetwood mac. £90 to see Bon Jovi. I haven't been to a big stadium gig for a long time as I refuse to pay those prices, but it still annoys me that venues and bands get away with charging so much!

Obese people cover up their rolls in winter, therefore it's less damaging on my eyes.

We've done this before, back in the day LP's etc used to be quite expensive and the top bands used to sell millions, and gigs were cheap, nowadays with people streaming and sharing music for free, bands dont make much money, I think Jagger recently said that Jumping Jack flash had been streamed over two million times within a month or two and he received about £180. I might be wrong with the song but you get the idea. Fans cant have it both ways, free music and cheap gigs. Also the venues set the fee, the bands management tell them how much the band wants and the venue market it up, and sets the ticket fee, then on top of that the ticket agencies cop a few quid, again back in the day you contacted the venues ticket office directly, so it was cheaper. That all said and done I agree with you, I wont pay those prices, I would rather spend my time playing with my band or writing.

Keeps the casual midweek drinker and their fruit-pop cider away from the bar.
Drinking 6 pints on a Wednesday in Summer is easy, only your seasoned pros will do that sort of thing on a cold, dark night in November.
