Weed? At a concert??

This was a call into one of our local radio stations this week. The caller cannot believe that anyone would bring any type of illegal substance to a concert.

I saw Parliament Funkadelic in the 1990's at college. An AMAZING 4+ hours of tunes, they kept going and going and going FAR beyond their scheduled time. They were having a blast, we were having a blast.

That is.. when you could see the band through the haze LOL. It was an indoor concert, and damnit. The whole place was one BIG fishbowl. Felt a bit bad as at least one father brought their daughter to the concert. This young girl was up on his shoulders enjoying the show, but her eyes were RED from the second hand smoke.

Yeah, the last time I saw NIN here at the MTS Centre (sitting about one section below the dude in the video, IIRC), the air was blue. We saw security drag a handful of people out at the beginning of the show, but I think they just gave up after that.

Ironic that Zappa and the Mothers of Invention would be featured in the accompanying slideshow. Zappa was totally straight, and really hated the fact that Stoners would spoil their experience of his shows by generously imbibing.

I recommend going to a White Stripes concert to anyone who enjoys their music, because their audience is the strangest blend of people I've ever seen, all of whom are stoned out of their minds by the end of the show.

You've got old-time cowboys who enjoy their twangy country angle, hipsters, soccer moms and children who enjoy the fact that they're on MTV, potheads, etc etc, the list goes on and on. Pretty much any type of person at any age can be found there. All stoned.

Plus, they put on an amazing show. But that's besides the point.

Yes... I totally believe someone who named their child "Moon Unit" never touched the stuff.

I was smoking weed at a NIN concert a few years ago. Trent Reznor pointed at me, looked into my eyes and said, "This asshole of a girl right here is smoking WEED. GET HER." I'm lucky I'm 5 feet tall, because I melted into the mosh pit behind me.

Then you don't know anything about Frank Zappa. He absolutely despised drug users. He called them "Assholes in action".

Wait is this really from Canada? No I ask seriously. Just about anyone who lives here for more then a month already knows that you're totting around with a joint or two it's no big deal. Ah...that big concert in Toronto after that SARS thing, I was there. Open air and you could see the haze, it was pretty damn funky.

The only other thing I can think of is this is the stupidest person in Canada, and that's saying a lot.

Alas, it's true. Zappa didn't do the shit.

Now...shouldn't you be out carving wooden shoes or tending to your windmill or something?



(by the way...this vid is fucking funny!)

It's really weird, but out of the 5 or 6 concerts I've seen since I moved here to St Louis, all but one appeared to be completely smoke free. I say weird, because I -never- saw a smoke-free concert in 20 years of concerts back in Kansas City. Even odder, earlier today I was wondering about this very phenomenon, musing to my wife about whether it was the times, or the location that made the difference. After reading all of the previous posts, it's pretty clear that it's the location.
