[B] _ [Bb] _ Um, you know, if you saw who threw that, you know, you see them trying to throw something again,
first go over and punch him out and then call him an a**hole, you know?
Does the band feel like they have control over the concerts?
We make an announcement before we start playing.
If any fireworks hits the stage, the show is over.
Nobody wants that, but that's where it's at.
Well, I was walking around the stadium [B] and it seemed to me everyone was so pumped up and so [Bb] intense and_
There's nothing wrong with that.
Sure, but there was a lot_
People [B] having a good time.
Right, but there was a lot of pushing and shoving and when a little bit beyond there,
a lot of people getting thrown out of the stadium, the guards throwing them out.
We gotta understand, you know, I can't see outside the exit or something like that, you know?
[Eb] I can only speak for what I see.
In any spectator, [C] I mean, down to like going to see a play, [Bb] movie, anything,
violence, the, you know, emotional violence, you know, [Eb] is part of what people go to see.
Is it football?
And certainly there's a lot of violent energy in rock and roll.
I mean, rock and roll deals with a lot of, you know, frustration and anxiety and things like that.
At its best, I think.
Although I would say that rock and roll is [Gm] poor entertainment for the bloodthirsty, really.
I mean, [Ebm] if that's where you're at, you know, rock is [Bb] not gonna give it to you.
Do you think the press is blowing this whole thing out of proportion?
Absolutely.
[Eb] I still don't think that it's violence, there's so much that these people are concerned about.
I think it's the sense that they have that there's a lot of license that goes on at a rock and roll show.
You know, they think the kids are out there smoking pot and maybe, you know, groping their girlfriends.
And they connect the whole thing with like my daughter getting pregnant [B] and smoking pot and being exposed to drugs.
And all these rock and roll [E] guys are all, you know, drug crazed and they're promoting it.
I think it's that.
It's the violence of lack of control that parents feel, you know.
I mean, they feel threatened.
That's a violent act towards them.
I would just like to feel, you know, like the people that were running it, profiting from it, you know, etc.
We're, you know_ Concerned.
Yeah, we're just, you know, organizing it in a competent enough manner that, you know, [Eb] nothing like really unfortunate could happen.
I guess people, adults have always thought it was [Bb] violence.
First, they thought it was violent because it was sexy, you know.
And to them, that was violent, you know.
Wrong.
Terrible.
So, you know, what are you going to do?
Anything that's like, you know, like, I mean, rock and roll is like uncensored, unexpurgated, you know,
hopefully straight to the core of the matter, you know, writing.
And it's not, you know, it's not father knows best, you know.
[C] Thank God. _
