The problem with concerts...

...are the IDIOTS that ruin it...

They whistle that brain-searing whistle to show their pleasure while ruining ours.
They stand up, because, well, their backsides must be WAY more interesting for us than what's happening on the stage.
They smoke cigarettes til you can see the cancer cells forming.
They smoke dope. And these aren't kids, although there are the kids who do as well. I'm talking about the middle-aged, 40-somethings with teenage kids or kids in college who would be appalled if their kids followed their example. "So, where'd you learn to smoke pot?" "Uh, from you, Dad."
They get drunk. Falling down drunk. Refer to aforementioned note on dope-smoking parents.
And the masses of sweaty oversized people who squeeze into their seats like cork in a champagne bottle. Luckily, the one sitting next to me had to move because she was in the wrong seat, to be replaced (happily) by someone (quite literally) half her size. No burning flesh upon my flesh, thank goodness!
And that damn constant shrilling whistle!
SHUT THE F UP!!!!!

Other than that, the concert was great.
Dave Matthews is MUCH better if you can find the lyrics on your handy dandy blackberry so you what know he's actually SAYING! I've never heard a singer who mumbles as much as he does!
And the guy can really say a lot in a single song...
Gotta go download all his lyrics!

I've become so crotchety and old that I can't take most events (like concerts) where there are going to be hordes and crowds of people. I go nuts and get all pissed off. I guess it's a good thing I got out of NYC ...
