Hippies against guns

I went with some friends to a benefit concert for Amnesty International tonight. It was gun control night although very little of it had to do with gun control. Various bands played, and some peddled their wares such as t-shirts with handguns on it. Obvious oblivious to why they were invited to play. One guitarist even pretended his guitar was a gun, cocked it, and shot at the audience to the music as a close-out to his song. Please, context, people!

A few petitions came floating by too and I let them pass. What the hell's the point of these completely unverifiable lists of names?! You don't even have to put down an address! I assume they don't exactly care if you use a real name either.

The music was mostly quite good. With the exception of the occasional screamers on stage. Why does it have to be so loud? My ear can't reall distinguish sounds above a certain decibel where it starts to sting and bleed. Boy I'm old.
