She had a bad memories from the Irish Civil War but in Spain she was very very happy with 22 children.

First off not everyone can afford international travel, but it’s much more conceivable for a band that already has done international tours to do them again. Second, you’re rude attempt to guess my age failed. Even if I was my parent’s age, how narrow minded to assume someone acts in a certain way because of a negative stereotype. While my comment was meant to give a compliment to one of my favorite bands, yours seems only to attempt to be rude to me. There’s so much more reason to try to be positive to others rather than try to needle people into aggravation.

North America and large swaths of South America are of a different scale that makes getting someplace decently different a day's travel even by plane. At $500-$800 pp to fly internationally (before COVID), it's not a meager part of the paycheck, and I don't understand why people like you have difficulty in grasping why not everyone travels extensively.
