But letting people come up to the stage from far back in the arena just because they're young & attractive is kind of gross. I mean, it's great for the people that get to go up and I'd never begrudge them of it because it's not their fault if they get asked (and who would turn it down?) but in general it kind of skeeves me out and I do have to wonder what the purpose of it is from the band/security perspective.

He was always very kind and helpful to my boyfriend and I. He recognized us and brought us up to the stage 3 times. We weren't the "cute girls" and he never flirted with me. We just thought he liked how much we loved the band, by seeing them so often and dressing up 3/5 shows. He always made sure we weren't blocking or upsetting anybody with our presence (like my hat, and my SO being 6'2), and stood up for us when a ticket checker lady tried to give us trouble. We owe a lot to him for helping making our experiences even more outstanding, not that they weren't already amazing. He directly helped make this summer a very special one, one we certainly won't be forgetting any time soon.
