We were west of Labrea thats the type of concert going experience one receives going to shows with 'westsiders.' wink wink. At least they all seemed to really be sincerely into the Zeros. Ive seen Fairfield a bunch of times now (including playing for spare cash on colorado blvd in old towne pas) sadly I didnt see the audience uderstand what he was bringing to the stage at all. def agree with you about the crowd at the el rey….well what do you expect?

Sadly, they apply to hundreds of shows. I went to see One Eskimo last night. Decent. But indecent were the numerous clods who talked during the show... it sucked the life out of the show. Live shows should have a synergy from the audience and artist, but that's undercut when talkers distract the artist and the listeners (they must think it noble to exhibit a sort of Waldenessque 'marching to another drummer'). Kanye, Joe Wilson, and these talkers show a fundamental selfishness, immaturity, and rudeness when they can't seem to understand that ethical conduct adapts to the time and place... and others. For them, the world is their ashtray. It's the same mentality: the world revolves around me. I have little doubt what political persuasion these people are, though. Like the people alluded to in Hair's "Easy to be hard," they are the ones that trumpet their faux social activism and compassion for humanity. Except when it inconveniences them.
