There was the couple in their 40s right in front of us getting their rock on (though apparently the woman thought she was still a teenager, whale tail and all), and would estimate that about 50% of the audience was over the age of 25. After all, someone had to be able to sing along with the Silver Beats. And it was usually the mid-20s *guys* wearing the shirts.

Wearing a brand new t-shirt you just bought at the vendor by the beer guy...that's just sad.

Guy in front of me at the will call window was not only wearing a Pink Floyd shirt, he was wearing a Dark Side of the Moon shirt with the track list on the pack. Wearing the shirt of the set list for a show you're going to see has to be a new low. Tsk, tsk. Saw Roger Waters play last summer when he was doing Dark Side of the Moon as the second set.

Of course they haven't seen PCU nor would they be privy to those seminal words spoken by Droz; and 2. They live by the cell phone... and die by the cellphone.
