You may have noticed, I spent most of my weekend at the Blue Mountains Music Festival. I’ve not been for a while - I had tickets for 2020 and it was cancelled a couple of days before it started. For REASONS.
It was fantastic and you should come next year.

But I spent a whole weekend at a festival where I was probably in the bottom quartile for age (I’m not a young fellow, new followers). These people were constantly on their phones, checking Facebook, whatsapp chats, or filming whole songs.
Can’t the old people today just live life in the moment?

@corduroy Generally, people filming fireworks, concerts or other such things is fucking stupid.

For the most part, they're NEVER going to watch these videos.

Just put down your fucking phone and watch the event you paid to see with your own fucking eyes.

Dumb cunts.

@andyb yep. But, I was mostly making commentary on the fact that old folks are always directing criticism at young folk, when it turns out it’s just human nature. Lay off the kids.
@corduroy @andyb Kids these days on their phones, was so much more social back in the day!

@corduroy Did not get to see Tex a few days back here in Melbourne. Saw him a few times, once with Cruel Sea .. well, that must have been 20 years ago in the Prince Ballroom in St.Kilda.

The phones I noticed a fortnight ago when Todd Rundgren played the Corner. I understand a snap for a "photo album" to remember later but I don't get the filming of whole songs. One will never watch that again. It's just bad quality footage. No point.

We should be old enough to know that ;-)
