I have gone on rants about people and cellphones at concerts at various times over the years. I don't understand why people go to shows if all they are going to do is watch it through a 5 inch screen. You got a kickass concert happening in front of you put your damn phone away so they rest of us can enjoy what we paid for, I did not pay money to see your stupid phone. Emek even made light of it on one of his Queens of the Stone Age posters. Jack White has Professional photographers taking pics and later post them for people to download. I want one of those shirts too.
Now Marky Ramone has come up with the perfect solution. Put your damn phone away and enjoy the concert.
LOL. This is sooooo true! It's also the reason I choose to not partake in social media sites such as facebook, twitter, instagram, tumblr and the 50 other similar sites out there. You forget to live your life through your own lenses instead of that of a camera. It seems these days we're our own mini celebrities posting every single detail about ourselves hoping to get a new 'Like" or "Comment." We hardly ever enjoy the moment anymore and just let our memories take the pictures. Great post Gary ;)
