(We both think he's dreamy...) NATURALLY we get two drunk chicks in front of us who act like they're at a Lynyrd Skynyrd show the ENTIRE time. Although he has a band, Blunt is basically an acoustic artist. When he did "You're Beautiful" for the encore and they started their hooping, hollering and dancing AGAIN -- I leaned over and said, "I don't know if the peroxide or the silicone has killed your brain cells, but I paid $400 for these seats and if you don't sit down and shut up, I'm getting security...." I managed to intimidate one of the silicone bottle blondes, but the other one kept shooting me the bird throughout the rest of the show. *IF* I had had anything to drink, I probably would have swung on her. Why do people pay premium for great seats and then go to the show trashed?? Same thing happened to us at a Paul McCartney show, but that was loud and everyone was on their feet the whole time so it didn't matter as much. I understand how it happens with teenagers -- but adults???? .,,,Carol (who really wishes she could have seen RS's Soy Bomb moment....)

Sorry Carol, could not resist that. That is so sad, that happen to you. At least they did not steal the PC, school property. I hope you get it back, but probably not.

The students themselves are intelligent enough, but their lack of access to education makes pretty much every class a remedial one. In terms of curse words...heh. They don't know enough English to decipher some of the stuff that comes out of my mouth when I'm really frustrated. That helps a little.
