What do you think about these people? A guy I know (who is not gay), in his mid 30s, is just floored I have no interest in going to South by Southwest stuff all weekend.

I get the college kids, etc....but this seems odd to me that 30 and 40 something males are all giddy over live music.



I'm 52 and have seen 1000's of live music acts. Disclaimer: I went to 3-4 shows a week from the age of 18-35. I don't get to as many shows these days but I'll still see 15-20 a year minimum. There is nothing better than live music.

ETA: Already on my calendar is David Byrne(twice this year), Queens of the Stone Age, Jack White, Weezer, Pixies, Primus, Erasure, Flock of Seagulls (and a bunch of other bands that day), Elton John.

Being excited about anything is super gay.

i wouldn't bother with the headache of SXSW ... but am in my 40's and go see live music weekly. And not to mention it's a good night out with a lady friend.

Talk about shitty arse music. I'd rather stick ice picks in my ears that have to listen those two bands you named.

I get excited bout local bands playing live original music. Yeah. I love music. What could possibly be age specific about that? Just because you age doesn’t mean you have to quit or die in your head, does it?


You coming to Spanish Moon tomorrow night?

As someone who is not particularly fond of live music and has no desire to attend concerts, I don't understand what you see odd about it.

39 years old, there's no better time going out that compared to going to a live show.

In case no one has thought to quote The Bard in 5+ pages: “Beware the man with no music in him. He is fit only for treasons, stratagems, and spoils.”

its a bit weird for grown men to get excited about watching a bunch of 20 year old black guys tossing a ball around



Call me weird... Or whatever you want, but I enjoy watching sports. But I also like listening to live music.

There is something wrong with me.. Don't get me wrong, both have some good songs.. Well Florida Georgia Line might have a song.. maybe two that I like, but I would be more excited about seeing all the hot women going see them than actually going see them.

SXSW is cool. Your friend has good taste. You should probably hangout with him more
