Let's get ignorant, let's get hectic
Last night, a few of us went up to Cedar Falls for the Black Eyed Peas concert.
I was interviewed by a local reporter, who said my quotation will be in the Waterloo paper on Sunday. I'll be sure to provide the link as soon as I am made aware of it.
The concert was decent. We had floor tickets, which was nice. There were enough middle school and high school kids there for people to avoid pushing and overcrowding to an uncomfortable level.
Two things in particular that I didn't like about the concert: (1) too much cursing. Seriously, the band should know that 25% of the audience [at least] is under the age of 18. The most common curse word was the s word, but the f and m-f words were also uttered at least a dozen times. (2) in the middle of the performance, they asked about the election and said that no matter who you voted for, we need to unite behind this one president. After all, we're all American, and we cannot stand divided. It just seemed a little too nationalistic for me.
Of course, I should probably be that last person to talk.
(1) During intermission, L and I decided to salute the flag of the United States and recite the Pledge of Allegiance, shouting the "under God" part.
(2) While the crowd was shouting "Black Eyed Peas! Black Eyed Peas! Black Eyed Peas!" for an encore, L and I were shouting "Four More Years! Four More Years! Four More Years!" Despite the dirty looks, it was hilarious.
