Going's on at a concert.

As stated earlier I saw Chris Cornell in concert on Monday. On thing I noticed during the show was how often people were using their cells. Not trying to talk on them but using them to send text messages and take pictures during the show.
Now I am up in the balcony watching people all around me hold up their phone's taking video and pictures of Chris and the band. I am thinking to myself that there is no way you can get a good picture. But all along the balcony phones are pointed toward the stage and clicked.
Also every now and then people would bring out their cells, their faces bathed in that strange glow as they bobbed their heads in time with the music, and read and returned a text.

I was about to get all self-righteous and point out to my friend how silly this was when . . . .

I got a text message . . .

And I read it . . . . and I replied.

Then my friend preceded to do the same on her cell.

Why?

Because we have the damn toys, and I guess we feel we need to use them.

As I was feeling a little sheepish my friend took out her phone and aimed it at the stage.

What the heck, the expression on my face must have said.

"Something to remember it by" she leaned in and shouted in my ear.

(?)

Oh well. When in Rome. . .

Chris Cornell

If you squint real hard you can almost make him out!

He was in St. Louis last night at The Pageant.

He sang

He Rocked

And it was very good!

Enough said!
