Boycott all concerts...

I recently learned that Pearl Jam was playing in the "Gorge" this summer. PJ is one of my all time favorite bands. I was a late come to the party devotee to PJ, long after mookey blaylock, ten, mother love bone, mud honey, etc. I know well the stories of the grandma's jam, Eddie's torn adolescent life, how Stone and Jeff put it all together for bippity boppity boo, and so on. Deeper I like the genius in their work. Yeah, they are aging, so is the playlist, but I still like these guys. TONS! But I am calling for a boycott of all concerts. Not just PJ - but ALL concerts everywhere. Why? Because I refuse to pay $100 bucks to listen to some wanna-be PJ, or Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young groupie, or whomever stand next to me, and sign off key into my ears! I wanna hear the guys sing, but that's just not possible anymore. You don't go to a musical on broadway, or an opera at the met, and sit next to some "singin' in the shower" goof, now do you? So, I say, if we all boycott on the grounds of "music ruination" from the dope next to you, perhaps we can get a movement going? I mean I wouldn't mind the occasional "joining in" - but every stinkin' tune? Come on man! Give me a break. Oh and one other thing, if you think I am out in left field here, well, all I can say is, that seat next to you, I was going to sit in? Its going to be empty for a long, long time. I am done with concerts. I will say that concerts in Hollywood Bowl or at the Pier in Seattle are still cool. There you go, get your concert fix in a mellow venue. Peace!
