    You can't equate that to baseball since the Who don't have one club they play 50% of their shows out of where nobody else can headline.

    Also, I don't think the Who would split the gate if some up-and-coming local band opened for them.

    Big bands often split the gate, maybe not 50-50, when they play at festivals with multiple big bands.

    If you guys want to nit-pick my choice of band, instead of the theory, then you're missing my point.

    I guess there's not much else to argue about these days.

    I just don't think the situations are familiar at all.
