What in the world is with people these days….you concert goers arrested at your age 48, 54, 33, ... why can’t you just go to enjoy the music….that’s what a concert is about hearing your favorite musicians and the songs…instead of causing trouble…. I have been to many many concerts thoughout my lifetime and have wonderful memories of hearing my favorite bands…we didn’t think about causing trouble or being arrested
