I know that I am not the youngest anymore, but yesterday, at the Morrissey concert, I noticed a change over the years that I found funny enough to be mentioned here. It has to do with the prohibition of smoking anywhere in the concert halls.
When I was younger, I visited many concerts and festivals and there was a habit in every audience: whenever a slow song or a ballad was perfromed on stage, the audience took out their lighters and made the hall an ocean of tiny lites.
Nowadays it's a bit different. During a slow song you also see a lot of lights in the audience, but they are not from lighters but they are the displays of digicams and mobile phones not trying to create a cozy atmosphere but trying to take a movie or pics of the artist.
Is that because of a lack of lighters or is it because people think that a documentary like "I was there" is more important than a cozy atmosphere??

let's hope that there are less people smoking nowadays. uh, right.
but back when i went to college, we took notes on PAPER. now every student has a laptop.
there were also no "gun free zone" signs on the front of schools.
also, no blogs: )
