my little concert review....
	well i braved my way to the family values tour last night.  it was one of the
most interesting concert experiences i've had in a while.  when i first came
into the stadium and saw all the other people there i felt like singing "one
of these people is not like the other...one of these people just doesn't
belong."  my friend kim put it very nicely. he said "do you feel really
clean?".  
	so we go to our seats and i get to sit next to a couple who happen to have a
pinch hitter which produces a very nice contact high for yours truly :) the
first band was orgy. they did not get much of a response from the crowd. no
one even moshed. (oh god no moshing!) then limp bizkit played, they were
better than orgy (which isn't saying much) then ice cube. the only good part
about his set was when his little rapping buddy had us all chant "fuck you ice
cube" and wave our middle fingers in the air. that was rather enlightening :)
then rammstein came out. i don't know what is with these funky germans, but
they were obviously on some weird form of crack. they set themselves on fire.
the lead singer proceeded to whip out a fake penis and "pee" on people. then
he butt fucked another member of the band with his dildo. now that's always
nice to see.  then finally korn came out.  i took off my sweatshirt and
proudly displayed my bff shirt :) then for a bet of $3 i yelled (when it was
quiet) "i love ben folds!" no one even cared, i think they were all high. so
that was my evening. i got some free stickers, so that's good. 
i finally realized that to these people the lead singer of KoRn is like their
Ben...i guess they worship in the cult of KoRn :)

"That's why Ben Folds Five is a breath of fresh air. They're the only band out
there (with the exception of the Spice Girls) who sound like they're actually
having FUN, thrilled by not having to work some crummy day job or play in an
orchestra pit off-Broadway (which Ben has done). This sense of joy permeates
even their most introspective ballads, and makes their uptempo numbers even
better. They still sound like spoiled brats, but they know that, and they're
proud of it. Nobody has made angst sound like this much fun since the
Replacements." ~ David Lifton (PCC)
