I agree that this encompasses a broader age spectrum. Still funny though.
May have missed it because it was so fast and multi-faceted and I didn't feel like going through it again to see if this just got by me but here's something that I've long noticed that often gets mentioned in DC.
Whenever there's some sort of march, protest or some other sort of rally that the entire world may be discussing, instead of hearing the locals talking about the subject of the rally, more often than not, it seems that instead, they bitch about the traffic congestion that gathering will cause.
Of course, if that gathering is a massive concert, all bets are off. Though traffic does find its way into the talk, instead, it's about the best way to get to or from the Mall or site holding the event. But, true to form, not much at all about the purpose for the concert. Just what bands and their set times.
