Best seats for Neil Young at Blenheim Palace: £315
Best seats for Neil Young in Lucca, Italy: €129. You could actually fly to Pisa for the concert and pay a lot less than seeing him in Oxfordshire.

I love how the Secretary of Health and Human Services, the guy in charge of our national well-being, runs away like a cartoon character the moment somebody needs medical help. The other Trump gargoyles at least attempt to look concerned. Kennedy sprints off camera.
