True Kosmo...but as us Sonic Youth fans get older and more curmudgeony, we also have stricter schedules with more responsibilities. Going to a show fits into a schedule. Whether it's a job, kids, night school, whatever...we buy a ticket with the idea that we'll be able to make it to that particular show at that particular time. And for some folks, that is kind of a silent agreement in their minds. Whether it's the venue or the band (or both) that break that agreement, I think it's only fair for people to be a little upset. This is a good venue for us to voice ourselves. We don't hate the club. We're also the ones spending money to support the band and the club, and ultimately we don't have much of a say in terms of what happens once that ticket is bought. (I know, I know...we can sell it, exchange it, go to the later show, etc.) And in the grand scheme of things, it's just a concert. But for those of us who work our asses off, in some cases it's one of the few things we can look forward to all week. It's our sacred time to enjoy some music and rock the fuck out (which I will happily do tonight).
