So, like - what was i thinking about? Some people might find it exciting to be with young, nubile, excited s just bursting into the teenage years, strutting their stuff for all the world to letch at. Remember Kevin Spacey in 'American Beauty' ?
Only there was like a thousand of them at the Pepsi Centre, Denver and the only people my age were their daddies. You could feel estrogen in the air - no kidding. The occasion - Avril Lavigne - Live in concert. The oldest guy in the band had just turned 21. Yes, a couple of her songs *are* good - but a little forthought would have told most of the audience would have looked up 'complicated'. Suffice to say that i felt out of place.
It was better in the morning when i was watching college s play soccer. Somehow a playground is just that - a level playing ground - age/sex no bar.
A place that i did feel at home was the Starz Film Center where they were playing 'Lighting in a Bottle' - a docu-tainment of the Blues - studded by the greatest ever songs by some of the greatest ever musicians. This was just before the concert. And little did i now that the last song was going to be so prophetic - 'Sweet Six....teen'
