    cell phones at concerts, yay or nay?

    The only reason I voted yes was because there is no way around it anymore. I go to the show knowing phones will be raised, people will record, people in front of me will stand and record, people will take pictures. I don't do any of this, but I can't enjoy if I am angry. So, if I really want to...

    RIP Will Hartley aka Porkloin.

    My condolences. I'll be 62 this month, and yes, that is way too young these days. The knowledge on this site written by those that have left us is well regarded and appreciated.
