No fair. So, a couple days ago I heard some
amazing news. The kind of news that makes you dance a little bit, Facebook a couple friends about it, and even groove to some Billy Joel whilst in the shower. What was this news? The Tallest Man On Earth is coming to this frozen nipple on the chest of Canada. No, I am not talking about the literal tallest man because I'm sure that would be very cool as well but I don't "Billy-Joel-It-Up" for just anyone. I am speaking of the beautiful musician, The Tallest Man On Earth, who is probably one of my absolute favorite artists so far in my lifetime. And then, as quickly as I had entered eternal bliss, I had a hit a wall of unfairness. Where was he playing his show? None other than the one and only, Pawn Shop. Now, if you're eighteen, then this came as a lovely tidbit for you. A bar, intimate atmosphere and an amazing artist. But for me, who is not eighteen, this is completely unfair. Not only for The Tallest Man on Earth but for all artists. I can't count how many times an artist that I like has played an eighteen only show. It's not right! It's unjust! It isn't fair! Why should any good music be restricted to an age limit? Yes, I understand that it is cheaper for an artist to play in an eighteen only atmosphere because of insurance costs and such but since when did musicians start to leave their fans behind just because some of us aren't old enough to enjoy a beer while listening to their music. I think it's safe to make the assumption that more than half of music listeners are under eighteen. So, why do these live shows section us out? Who allowed this to ever happen? It's just frusturating. The world would be a much more peaceful place if eighteen only shows didn't exist. Kiss
didn't have eighteen only shows and they are fucking
Kiss.
Oh well, thank goodness for fake ID's. That's right, I am forced to break the law for the greater good.
And if you haven't heard the marvel that is The Tallest Man On Earth :
