I was laughing so hard because I’ve dealt with numerous motherfuckers who think they’re entitled to the front. For I have met many of this Bastard’s descendants and a few got well-deserved elbows in the face. As my friend (and ex-wife) Somara once said to a couple of them at Devo, “If you want to be closer! Show up earlier!” Then she gave them a great big shove forcing them back. I think one fell down too. Those three bitches at Elle King were definitely great granddaughters.
What I love is the photo of that asshole we’ve all met, next to the dildos with their phones out to record the whole concert; he’s tall, rude and just a little too into it. The bracelet is noticeable, I wouldn’t be surprised if this stock photo was taken at one of Austin’s annual gatherings of rude assholes (mostly from California and NYC), SXSW or ACL Fest. But the majority are clearly under 30 so it’s more likely something they find more attractive. It’s definitely from the past due to the lack of cell phones, beards and male haircuts from the Roaring Twenties and Depression.
Lastly, I believe we need a contract or an enforced code of conduct on concert attendance. I know they’ll never remove the booze, a huge factor in spreading assholism, due to profit. What we need is a pact with the enforcement means to maintain civility, making people put their fucking phones away to be in the moment (and not ruin the short people’s view), no children unless it’s They Might be Giants, Weird Al or the Aquabats and we all get to beat down the idiot yelling “Free Bird!”
