Honestly, in my brain i guess i can appreciate that sentiment. but when i go
to a live show, i'm not trying to think about history and shit. i'm trying
to enjoy myself, to be entertained. I have a short attention span, as do
most regular people, I think. I believe that shows need to be for regular
people who like fun and not smart people with esoteric secrets locked in
their laptops.
If i wanted some smart thinking-type shit, I'd go to a college lecture or a
old folks home and not a club or bar.
