I think that this is a good, astute observation that can be applied to 75% of every crowd at about 75% of all shows in 2007.  A lot of people care more about being at the show and obtaining documentation that they are at the show than actually enjoying the moment and the music.

I guess it's a case of "hate your local" but as far as sportswriters go, I can think of 200 sportwriters more annoying and dickish than Tony K.  Maybe that's because I don't read him everyday in the Post.  You really think he's worse than Mitch Albom, Bob Ryan or Mike Lupica? I enjoy him on PTI.  He doesn't take things as seriously as most sportswriters.

 P.S.  I love pure snarkiness.  My favorite show is "The Showbiz Show with David Spade."

i love pure snarkiness too, as long as the author doesn't try passing himself off as anything other than that.  too many reviewers and bloggers want us to take their auto-snarkiness seriously.

so since I started this thread and wasn't at the show (I forgot to buy tickets, not a huge fan of the band but wanted to see them).
 
 Is James Iha no longer in this NEW SP?  That's my understanding no?

James and D'arcy are not in, correct.

But the new guy looks just like an Asian, and the new girl looks just like a slut.

Ah, now THAT's offsides.  I've never heard anything about D'arcy's promiscuous habits.  I HAVE heard that she's gotten a lot of plastic surgery.

I thought she looked like one of the Olsen twins.

I was just commenting on their appearances. The new guitarist isn't Asian as well, as best I can tell.
 
 My point was they plugged in a slutty LOOKING bassist and Asian LOOKING guitarist.
