Concerts have jumped the shark!

music_110004953-011314intRed Rocks amphitheater is a famed place for concerts here in Colorado. My wife and I had never been to a concert there so we decided to go to a show this week. It is an amazing place and I would recommend going to a show there if you ever get a chance. I have not been to a lot of concerts since we started having kids but I did notice a few things have changed. The first thing I noticed is the goal used to be to watch whoever you went to see perform, the new goal is to take as many selfies and post them as you can within the few hours you are at the concert. Second if you are in the first few rows your goal is to take selfies with the performers or at least with them in the background. The stage at Red Rocks is at ground level so anytime the singer gets to the edge of the stage thirty people rush up turn around and snap a picture of themselves with the performer behind them. I would like to go on record and say that selfies and concerts have official jumped the shark. This was nothing but distracting and rather disturbing. Instead of doing things themselves the new goal is to be seen with someone who is doing something. Let’s call the Kardashing.
