6 November

This is the wet dream of many adolescents of the past 70 years. Adulation from a stadium full of screaming fans. Anybody who studies crowds knows the screaming isn’t about the act. It’s about the crowd themselves, the act is just a means to an end. The smartest performers of popular music deeply distrust this experience, because they know they’re puppets to crowd psychology. The crowd will chew them up and spit them out every day of the week, should trends shift. Ask Nickelback. You’re just the soundtrack to the crowd’s needs to be a crowd.
