We pay to go to a live show. The crowd is excited to see the artist. You can feel it in the air. They appear on stage, plug in, start with a quiet but heartfelt acoustic number.

And 600 people keep their conversations going.

What. The. Hell. People?

Between songs, the artist makes polite but vague statements about how even with the PA, he can’t compete with all that noise.

They keep talking.

Grrrrrrr…

      Some of my most intense, fun and vivid memories are seeing live music with friends/ family.

      I know it’s not as cheap or accessible as it used to be and that adds to the frustration. But If music is something you’re passionate about, I would highly recommend doing it while the bands you like are still around and you are still able.

      If you generally don’t like concerts then you do you and that’s fair.

      I still say it should be legal to carry a bottle of lemon juice, and a tiny squirt gun. They start singing, with their mouth wide open, singing horribly, that when you squirt them. Right in the eyes.

        The only issue is that no one else will know it’s just lemon juice.

        Unfortunately, we live in an awful world.

          I like how lemon juice straight to the eyes is only problematic in your mind because other people might mistake it for something EVEN WORSE!
