On the lawn, Chris Isaak autographs $35.00 T-shirts after his show. The shed poster was exactly right. Mann Music in Philly, Nikon at Jones Beach, BoA Pavilion, Tweeter in Camden, are all sheds that host the same available touring acts each summer. Over the past few years Casinos have gotten into the game and now regular summer touring acts like Chris Isaak, Moody Blues, Huey Lewis, The Beach Boys (and friends), and The Indigo Girls, will intersperse Casino shows on their regular shed tour. But this has nothing to do with why lawn people suck.
. Yes, Lawn people lay down to watch a concert, kinda like watching TV, their favorite activity. Those poor slobs disobey mother’s rule to “sit up and listen.” They stretch out their blankets like they are having a picnic- a picnic with three thousand others! Then they wait for hours. I saw Joss Stone and sat front row center in the pit. Did you know Wolf Trap charges 75 bucks each for pit seats? Anyway, there I am sitting down hands folded, and watching the show. I only stand up when every else does so I let the people behind me (and when you are sitting front row center, that is practically everyone) can see. I am polite that way. On the other hand, lawn people are reclining with a bottle of wine or a can of beer like a hobo in a Brooklyn alley. Lawn people suck.
If I acted like a lawn person at the Joss Stone show and fully reclined with a bottle of wine in the front row, what do you think Joss would have said when she saw it? She would have said, "You suck!" Remember, Joss can't see the thousands on the lawn, who can also barely see her, doing just that -lying around like drunken hobos.
And when they leave the concert, lawn people walk side by side carrying the oversized coolers making it difficult for others to get around them. That really pisses me off!
Lawn People suck!
And lawn people have no problem phoning friends to say “Hey I’m at the show.” These people are 150 yards from the stage and can’t really see a thing! They might as well have not bought the $25.00 ticket and just picnicked a few yards away, OUTSIDE THE GATE!
