Eddie Money performs

Sun., Apr. 23, 1989

Eddie Money performed at Dickinson College on Sunday, April 23rd.  While some students attended the concert, others objected to the Concert Committee's selection and the cost. These students argued that the Committee's had selected an artist that yielded a low turn out and resulted in a loss of approximately $19,000. Eddie Money responded to the protest by stating, "I thought the turnout was light...that's what happens at a school where the kids have a lot of money - they don't know a good thing when they see it...Whoever came down got a great show." As a result, the Committee came under close scrutiny for the next academic year.
