Has anyone else noticed how often people will hold up cell phones much the way people would hold up lit lighters in days of yore? I don't know if I really approve of this new thing.
Lighters out, cell phones in
yeah… lighter = fire = SATAN. Not sure what cell phone equals.
Well it is weird, since most have a blue glow when turned on, you get the look more of ice than fire. And some bands have started saying "Take out your cell phones" to do it instead of lighters.
What i've noticed is these goddamn dipshits calling their friends during the middle of the show and then holding the cell phone up so their friend can here the band.
who cares what other people with their free time?
let them spend their cell phone minutes.

i have seen people do this (at the Green Day concert) and i was like, "please, shoot me, now"
ok, lighters are cool, or were cool.
but i think the cell phone thing is horrible. maybe I'm just old.

I, for example, dont mind the lighters at the concerts. but cell phones? call me a generation before cell phones, but i think its lame. but it has nothing to do with how many people are doing it.

if only cell phones could light your cigarette
i can only imagine how many a heavy metal chick got their teased up hairspray laden hair light aflame by a lighter from the dude in the row behind her.
if only we had cell phones in the 80s.
no more burns.

I only called a friend once from a show he had to miss. He told me to call back when he could actually hear. It's too loud at a show to actually hear much on the other end of a phone. For some reason I find it funny to watch people with the cell phones - they generally swing them in the air while dancing…can't imagine that helps the reception.

i also see lots of people taking photos with their phones now. that's not quite as annoying as holding it up for friends to hear, but it's close.
(sort of like the high school chicks at radiohead who called their parents and held the phone up for their folks to hear…)
They Might Be Giants got pissed when they heard someone on the phone, and actually asked the entire crowd to hold up their phones and make the ringer go off. That was silly.
Oh, and I was at some other show where the band took someone's cell phone. Then, a friend called it from in the crowd, and got to talk with the band. Damn, I forgot what show that was. But it was funny. (I need to stop drinking so much at shows.)
