isnt everything happy and fun filled when you're a spoiled brat going to private school in Columbia?

second, since when is morrissey playing smaller venues than the killers?

since the killers started getting constant airplay on the radio.

It's a little more than that. Morrissey prefers more intimate venues because he's been around long enough to appreciate playing two nights to 6,000 people each night rather than 15,000 in one night where as The Killers (and their management) are looking to cash in as quickly as possible before their 15 minutes are up.

…as opposed to expensive private colleges and universities in Baltimore? Don't know: Never been spoiled or rich or gone to private school of any kind….
but I have been - and often still am - happy. :D

i wasn't even at this show, but i love the input you guys are giving.
i'm 14 (15 in less than a month), i go to shows almost every week, and have been show-hopping in the area for a long time.
even i get annoyed when i see lots of young kids at shows. hypocritical? maybe, but trust me, you are all perfectly right–it usually means that they are going to sit there on their phones for the entire show. they are usually only there so they can have a story to tell on monday when they are wearing their hip killers concert tee…
it's really frustrating to be surrounded by that at shows, and i'm glad that i can respect musicians and am not one of "those kids".

if they are going to go to a show because they think the lead singer is hot, then they don't have to be obnoxious about it. but those people are ALWAYS going to be there, regardless of age.
you either shove away from them, or put your arm around your neighbor and divulge about your latest tanning bed experience. :cool:

to all those slamming 14/15 year olds or whatever, i would have loved to have been in a situation when i was 14/15 where i could have gone to concerts semi-frequently, but i didn't manage to go to my first one til i was 16 and i didn't start going to a lot until i was 19.

if i had the opportunity i would be one of those kids now, except obviously move this time frame back to the early 90s rather than now and i think i'd be seeing much better music than the most recent crop of bands to get bigger.

Its easy to knock the youngsters at shows, but hey, teens are teens. If you go to see the Killers you shouldn't be shocked to see 16-year-olds on cell phones. I don't go to shows popular with the teen crowd and I've seen some of the most obnoxious behavior from people in their 20s-30s. Watching a moron talk on a cell phone while an artist is playing is absolutely unbearable, especially when its in front of the stage. Crowdsurfing and moshing to everything under the sun is retarded. Drunks are at every show. The list goes on…
