At a recent concert in London, liberal diva for the ages, Barbra Streisand, held an audience at ransom for £600 a head. That’s roughly $1,230 US dollars.

And even after all that, the Algorian global warming disciple couldn’t even be bothered to take the stage on time, according to ThisIsLondon.co.uk.

That £600 is no small amount. In the UK, that is the rough price of a Sony PlayStation 3 … which will last a lot longer than the concert, although Babs’ endless farewell tour may just outlast it.

Of course, even British libs slobber all over themselves once the diva of all divas opens her aging mouth and croaks out a few notes. Truth is, she hasn’t been The Voice for ages; Celine Dion outperformed her at the Oscars years ago and has never looked back. Of course, Ms. Dion then went on to grow an ego of Babs-sized proportions all on her own.

Of course, neither are my style. I may be 40, but I’d much rather listen to Seattle native Brandi Carlile than either of them, any day. Or Jewel. Hell, in a pinch, I’d even prefer Pink wearing a pair of Air Jordan shoes over hear ears to those two. Get the message?
