Riots in Front of the King

Ok, so this may sound somewhat indiscriminate, but it's a scenerio that actually took place. It's humorous but that's coming from me, the viewer, not the instigators who started this fracas. A yearning for the past, quote on quote, me wanting to see BB King. You know the guy who started it all. This guy's a legend!

The photo above was a "strikingly successful move." You see, that photo was taken just after the King discovered that people were being a bit rude during an original, yet, short guitar solo.

"Sit down!" is what I heard coming from behind me. Then, from the right, "we paid money for this show." "Sit down." Wow! I dropped to the grass, seemingly inert.

Meanwhile, "The thrill is gone, the thrill is gone away," yes! I can still hear BB through the agitated sitters in the back(somehow I must have had a good seat or something).

I think it's great to see people dance at a concert, don't you? I mean, isn't that what music is for, dancing?? The people behind me continued to revile at the people standing, "sit down!" And the people standing scolded back, "this is free airspace and a free country." Oh dear, here we go..... Here came the security guards ready to throw down the gauntlet.

Know the yelling is becoming a bit belligerent. I mean, is this really necessary, five security guards now standing in front of the people standing saying "If you're not going to sit down then we're going to stand in your way." I mean come on guys, I say all the people sitting down stand up and dance. Don't go see a concert if you want to sit through the entirety of it. Just sign up for netflix and have the concert mailed to your doorstep.

All of the arguing from person to person and security guard to person were ended when BB looked over and stoped playing, just gazing with disdain at how all these people would pay for tickets to see the King and then argue over grass space.

I think after the first second or two of BB's reaction, he accepted the fact that it was Hobson's choice, no choice at all.

But I still think it was an indifference that should have been acknowledged either by the people them self, or the security guards. So BB, this goes out to you and the incredible music you give to the people who listen.

THANK YOU and NO THANKS TO the arguments that took place in front of your stage by the ignorants who just don't see outside the box. Lets forgive them, it's anathema that always happens at live shows.

To BB

Bona fide till the end.
