Live music - Who cares.

[Ron Evers]

Not the younger generation, their devices are far more interesting.

What a fantastic comment on modern society Ron!

You nailed it! It is so discouraging to see these things. I am doing my part to ensure my children will COMMUNICATE face to face with other humans! People will evolve without vocal chords most likely. I always enjoy some good picking!

Could they be downloading music they actually like?

Ouch!

Ouch!

I did not mean it to be an ouch, it's just what I get from the image; a different take on it than spiralout462. I see two people maybe bored listening to something they have heard over and over and over again. I also see two musicians that don't care, they are going to play that funky music whether the youngsters like it or not (a good thing).

I am also trying to ensure my 17 year old communicates face to face with others, but I don't force my music on him. I present it, and he either feels it or does not.
Ron is on the right track; whatever is on those devices seems to be far more interesting to them.

Good comment Ron, we need to create texting free zones.

A couple of years ago I was having dinner alone on a business trip and saw this young couple come in the restaurant. You could tell they were on a date. They came in sat down, ordered and each pulled out their phone and started tapping away. I wondered if they were texting each other instead of talking

My brother is a musician and the only reason I ever went to listen to him play was the free beer and pizza.

They were playing games.

We had a reunion of my wife's family, it was a six large roll of toilet paper weekend.

Looks like fun to me.
