Rock concerts are for standing and dancing.

Symphonies and plays are for sitting.

He not only blames millennials, but specifically *female* millennials for not only dancing and blocking old farts, but for turning the country socialist.

Guess he thinks women should stay at home where they belong and not block the view of crusty old men.

Totally agree with you. He sounds like a real d-bag.
Also, it's known if you want to sit at a rock concert you do not get tickets on the floor.

Well said.

I don't have a problem with anyone standing especially if you are on the floor in the first 20 rows. I have seen people yell to sit down in that area and it confuse me why someone would buy tickets so close and expect to sit down the entire time.
I sort of lose this philosophy the further back you go. If you are standing up good for you but you are blocking the view of short people, disabled people and people who expected to sit far away and enjoy the show.
My peeve lately is a generational thing about food at concerts. When I saw Buck/McVie, I was nauseous from the smells of hot dogs, that fake cheese nachos, popcorn, and various other food items. I sat and watched giant cardboard trays of food brought to their seats. WTF. Are you there to eat or watch a concert. They were talking about this on Stern the other day "Grazing." Its also happening at work in offices. People bring in food or bowls of candy or other things and people graze all day eating. Seriously, we cant watch a concert or work anymore without stuffing our face with food constantly?
Ok my biggest peeve is the phones. The constant selfies and texting during the show is so freaking annoying. People watching the concert through there camera phones is annoying to me.
I don't always agree with Bill but I agree with him on this instance.

I agree about the cell phones. Other than the fact that people make a mess with food and their spilled drinks, I don't mind food, but perhaps it is best at theaters when you can get refreshment during intermission but are not encouraged to bring it inside the auditorium.

I mostly agree with you about the fake nacho cheese. Tired of this junk and I am not above fast food. I can love some of it, but most of it is ruined by fake cheese that just makes everything gummy and has no flavor. Give me real cheese or go home.

I like to sit near the front so I can see the artist, make eye contact with them. Lindsey ... if he feels like it, he can hear everything you say, even if you aren't talking loudly. I want to see their interaction with each other, the looks they exchange, the whispers. Sometimes I can read their lips. I want to get something from it I don't get from a video. I want to see. I don't just want to hear. I don't want inconsiderate people coming between me and that experience.
