Rock out

People do not dance at shows in LA. They in fact act like they can't think of a more boring place to possibly be than at the rock show they are currently attending. I do not understand this phenomenon. You're at the show to enjoy the music! I know you dance like an idiot monkey in your own home to this very song! Why not dance like an idiot monkey with the rest of us in public? No one looks cool dancing to indie pop rock, but when we all look uncool together, doesn't that loop it back around to cool again? Isn't that what happened with all the inane fashion statements that have erupted this season? Really, skinny jeans don't look good on anyone. It makes people look like they have huge asses and lumpy hips regardless of body type and when a skinny girl looks like a hippo, I know that fashion statement must die. Everyone is wearing them though, so we all assume that they're ok. They are in fact NOT ok. They are right up there with ironic moustaches on my list of looks that no one should ever rock.
That brings me back to rock...when you go to a show, enjoy the music! Rock out with your proverbial cock out. I played a house show last night and had a few people near tears. I usually don't like going about making people cry but that means they LISTENED and ENJOYED the music. It's ok to have an emotional, visceral reaction to music. That's what it's here for.
