Throwing out the earplugs

Thank God my is now old enough to go to concerts by himself. I knew it was time when I saw that I was the only one at the WachoviaCenter with earplugs and a book. Fu*king Corey wouldn’t even hold the flashlight straight. He insisted he needed to jump up and down and scream with everyone else. That sh it is something I cannot fathom; unless of course your hair is on fire. Then jumping up and down and screaming is perfectly acceptable. Rolling also. Don’t forget to roll.



The very last concert I took him to was The Offspring at Electric Factory. They were fantastic but thank God, (again), for the small bar upstairs. Without it I would have had to endure a ‘mosh’ with 2,000 pubescent teens and never would have gotten drunk. Now since ‘mosh’ rhymes with ‘nosh’, you’d think great fun eh? A little music, maybe a bagel with a shmear and some lox… fat chance. Now instead of my jumping up and down and screaming, he is jumping up and down and screaming on top of other pubescent teens. What the f*ck is that about? People were actually hitting each other…smashing and slamming their bodies, and get this…no one was on fire! They did that later.

What ever happened to the good old hippie daze? When concert goers could barely stand let alone fight? I miss em. I don’t remember them, but I miss them all the same. There was no ‘moshing’ at Woodstock; just good old hallucinogens and weed, (not that I was there, but I saw the movie dammit!). Can you picture Mamma Cass doing a little crowd surfing? Some stage diving by Hendrix?


Anyway, Corey and his friends can now do just about anything without parental supervision. Amen to that brother! Say goodbye to The Jungle Book and gay purple dinosaur sh it, and hello to Pennywise and The Misfits. Corey…just a word to the wise. Don’t break any bones and don’t forget to roll .

The Mosh Pits have been around for awhile...actually a long while. I guess it's their way of letting of the steam...the music creates. Weird stuff. Not too many would have been able to catch, let alone "hold" Mamma Cass.

What about good old Guitar smashing and biting the head off of a live rat like Ozzie Ozbourne in the 60's-70's. ?? No one did that? Boy, it has been a long time for you ROFL
