Ahhh democracy, err gerrymandering in action, only way she could win…
Just think how much safer the world would be if she accidentally shot herself with that hidden gun she keeps up her…

... but my congressional representative was just thrown out of the play Beetlejuice in a Denver theater. Apparently showing her soon to be ex-husband that she is having a good time without him. And she got caught on film vaping in the theater (which she later lied about doing) and had refused to stop when the pregnant woman behind her ask her to stop vaping. Add some flash photo selfies to the list along with the loud talking and inappropriate singing and she wonders why they asked her to leave, which of course she refused to do until the cops were on the way. She and her date gave everyone involved a one finger salute on the way out with a few choice words to cap it off.
Takes all kinds.
Cheers

Screw eloquent.
Why do people pay ridiculous sums of money for tix, especially the criminal fees! (Legalized robbery), and all tge other time/resources just to go talk all night?
Isn’t that what bars are for?
Maybe if people still talked to each other on the phone or at work, instead of just texting, they wouldn’t need to do so at concerts?
The camera BS too, why go to a show, just to be distracted trying to get videos?
BITD, we took as little as possible into shows, (usually only just a ticket and a, ahem, supplies, sometimes an empty wine bag to fill with water), often split from friends so you didn’t have to talk but could find a good spot to fully engage and actually LISTEN to the music. What a concept: going to a concert to actually listen to music 🙀

I guess they do it now at movies too?

....the correct en vogue term is chompers. And yes. They suck. Had a few around us at a recent Weezer concert. If you want to talk to your friends, do it on the concourse dammit! Concerts are not sporting events. I'm ok with chompers at those.

Jean-Paul Sartre nailed it when he wrote, "Hell is other people."

Attended Peter Gabriel show this past Saturday. My first time seeing him.

It was a good show. He is in fine voice for being in his early 70's. His band was very good. Half of the show was new stuff. Some of it was pretty good, Panopticom, i/o, Playing for Time all very good. Some of the other new stuff was slow, which normally is not a bad thing but slow and unknown is maybe not a good combination. Between every song was 30-60 seconds of commentary from Gabriel about world problems, introducing artists who contributed to the presentation, introducing a song, talking about his past, etc. Of course the older stuff rocked.

Unfortunately I was surrounded by a group of people who talked through the entire show. They knew each other and kept switching seats to talk. Why do people insist on talking during a concert? Why are they even there if they are not listening? As the music gets louder, they get louder. At one point I yelled "Shut Up!" Everyone around stopped and looked at me. No one said anything. They kept it quiet for about 5 minutes than back to the group chat. Gabriel talking so much between songs didn't help matters. One idiot even said "Ooh this is a really good song" then proceeded to yak through the entire song.

Sorry about the rant. It was an enjoyable show but could have been so much more. Other posters here have expressed this more eloquently than me but it appears that selfish, rude people have become the norm. I really like live music but this experience made me question whether I want to go to a large venue like this again.

…the Bills have been my home team for the past 46 years. Man, the’ Bills ‘ back in the day when I was growing up, they wereThe TEAM ! Kelly in the pocket and a list of names that would rattle like a snake. Only team to make four consecutive Super Bowl games (XXV, XXVI, XXVII, and XXVIII). The successful seasons by the Bills during 1990, 1991, 1992 and 1993 was Outstanding! I still remember watching every game!

I had fun , don't remember much about the show.

makes me say....

More GD68, please, Dave.

There MUST be more in the vault. Full show or mosaic, more GD68 would be extremely welcome.
