: : Aww, face it Give...you just got old!! ;)
: : PJ, I'd go, and I wasn't ever a big fan of those guys to start with...I'm a little younger than that set...you know how lightening fast the music scene develops. I was like 2 or 3 years after they were the thing. But good live shows are good live shows. I just wouldn't expect to pack the house out with 'em because like Give said, most of those people have moved on.
: : But I bet you could pack out one of those reliable old local punk-fests...you know the $5, no advance sales, local bands get a cut of the door, 20 bands and half of 'em really suck, crazy kid-packed concerts. Man, I'd be right there letting them blow it out and making sure they don't split their heads open in the pit. The bands have changed, but punk kids are punk kids, even if they now have the hair cuts I hated my parents trying to give me. I figure if I'm not a kid anymore, at least I can be the guy who remembers what it was like and helps the kids get what they're looking for. There were a few of those adults in my day, and I'm really thankful for them backing me up when I couldn't get any respect because of my age or style.
: : I guess seeing Petra gave me hope that I don't have to mellow as I get older. (Those guys were already old when I first saw them, and they're still going.) I hope we all keep that youthful joy even when our dentures pop out in the pit.
: Wish I'd seen you there.
: Uh... I mean... you know, IF I was there. Yeah...
I looked for you after the show. Dan told me you were there, but we couldn't find you. Maybe we can connect somewhere else.
