Concert "Connection"

Riddle me this...Why is it that at every concert I go to there is always that one couple that needs to get a room? Is this just something that happens to me?



New York, NY(March 29, 2005)
Hammerstein Ballroom
The Black Crowes

The Black Crowes played 10 shows in NYC over the past 2 weeks that was sort of a test to see if they could really get back together, and apparently they can because they announced they will be touring with Tom Petty on his summer tour.
ANYWAY...It's the Black Crowes. The crowd is a bit older, hardcore fans, pot smoke everywhere, grunge clothes and old school tour shirts, everyone is jamming out. Three rows in front is a couple, sitting in their seat, dressed WAY too nice for this show. He was one of those guys that wears a wool hat (a la` Justin Timberlake) even though he is indoors and it was 60 degrees out that day. FINALLY, a song comes on that they actually know! It's the song Remedy. They shoot up out of their seats and start dancing, the guy is behind the girl and they are all grinding and making out. The song ends, they sit down. For those who are not familiar with the song Remedy, it's not some slow sexy song about love and romance. Ok, so another song comes on- and they go at it again! All in all, this couple knew all of three songs, which they proceeded to make out to and not even watch the band. I mean, The Crowes could break up! This could be it! And you were sucking face the whole time.

This has happened to me at so many concerts, except the Madonna concert when some housewife who was out for the night, for the first time in a long time, with her other housewife friends, drank 2 cosmos and puked everywhere. I would rather the make out couple than the puking housewife re-living her youth and wearing gummy braclets up to her elbow (you girls know what i am talking about).

At least at the Indigo Girls concerts i have been to, the lesbians just hold hands and what not...they know not to make out or guys would start showing up at the shows!
