How is buying a shirt or a record that thousands of other people own a &quot;more direct connection&quot; than a photo from my point of view or actually of me at the event?<p>It&#x27;s not. You&#x27;re just arguing to argue.<p>Unless you mean that it more directly supports the band, to which I say, why don&#x27;t you just throw dollar bills onstage.<p>&gt; This reason makes sense if the person has some form of alzheimer&#x27;s, sure.<p>&quot;Hey, I would&#x27;ve taken photos of my wedding, but I don&#x27;t expect to get the Alzheimer&#x27;s, so screw it.&quot;<p>Whatever.
