The Stones?
Maybe once upon a time although I'm more partial to the Who & Zepplin for Bands from the same time.
SO any way, some co-workers are going to the show in East Hartford CT tonight.
Now, back in the day - before some of you may have been out of diapers (1977-83) things were different. Of course like the Stones, their fans are a bit older than kids going to OzFest but let's compare:
1979: Pants - Ripped Jeans
Stones: Dockers, Wrinkle Free
1979: Shirt - din't matter you bought a shirt from a T-shirt Vendor selling them at the traffic lights a block or two from the Venue
Stones: Izod, Tommy Middlefinger, Polo, shirt with your company logo, heck ther are cheaper than what an "Official" tour T-shirt cost
1979: Hair, as messy as possible, shave, heck no you'r glad you have facial hair
Stones: Shave before concert & glad at least you have more hair on your head than your friends
1979: pre-concert festivities: Drive to show, friends drink from the time they get into car, driver caring about friends pounds 4 or 5 beers during last 20 minutes of drive to show so buzzed at beginning but almost sober at the end
Stones: tail-gating - Shrimp Cocktail, Sandwich Wraps, Fruit Salad, Veggies & Dip with white wine & Frozen margharita's
1979: If your a 18-22 year old guy before a concert in a parking garage or outdoor lot, the world is your restroom (it's almost like being out in the woods hiking now :blink: :wink
Stones: worried about facilities & wondering if there are enough clean port-o-lets
1979: Recreational substances, it was 1979 :beer:
Stones: advil, geritol, starbucks with expresso shot,
1979: concerns about volume (from Spinal Tap) these amps "go up to 11" crank it
Stones: (heard in the office today) - "I hope it's not too loud."
1979: Will there be a stage rush
Stones: Hope I don't have a heat flash
So it would seem apparent I refuse to grow up. :beer:
