Why I like nightclubs more than concerts

R&B singer Solange Knowles was in the audience for a Kraftwerk concert in  New Orleans.  She was dancing, which angered other attendees who wanted to see the stage

 People say she's supposed to stop dancing at a concert  so people can see  the performers on stage who aren't really doing anything visually spectacular? 

I love Kraftwerk and consider them one of the most under-rated influence on modern music! That being said, all the video clips I've seen of them performing live only show them playing keyboards, not making big dance moves, not grinding on females, not smashing things, etc! 




Why would I waste time at a concert where people just want to see the stage when I can to go a nightclub (w/ DJ's playing recorded music) where all eyes are on the dancefloor, and you can be the star of the dancefloor? 


That plus concert tickets for major acts tend to cost an arm, a leg and a left kidney! 

I can spend less $$$ and hear the same songs from the same artist being played by a DJ at the nightclub, be on the dancefloor and have much more fun!


No disrespect to those of you who play live music, I do sometimes attend block parties with many stages playing live music, I plan to do so again next Saturday at the Hoolaulea in Waikiki!


That being said, this news report just confirm my preference for going clubbing over going to concerts!

Coming soon - some anniversaries coming up

There are 2 blog posts I am working on to highlight some major anniversaries..


September 11 will be the 15th anniversary of the terrorist attack!


September 13 would be the 2-decade anniversary of the death of Tupac Shakur.

Both were major events in my lifetime, and both deserve some serious reflections.
