I was focusing more on the idea of dressing up for bands that perform music that is historically populist and often consciously rebellious. <BR/><BR/>The venue does matter, but only up to a point. I wouldn't dress up for Perlman playing at the Shoreline Amphitheater, but I also wouldn't dress up for the Red Hot Chili Peppers playing at Carnegie Hall. <BR/><BR/>In fact, I'm not sure one is supposed to dress at all for performances by the Chili Peppers ...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-42599002802107042792007-06-17T22:22:00.000-07:002007-06-17T22:22:00.000-07:00You're correct, although I must say that Lindsey w...You're correct, although I must say that Lindsey was adequately dressed. Perhaps there's a difference in the venue--the South Shore Room at Harrah's vs. the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View.<BR/><BR/>Or is my view on this topic entirely too dated? Heck, I don't even wear shorts to school, and I'm the only male math teacher in my department who doesn't.Darrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15730642770935985796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-7798169550076188942007-06-17T20:51:00.000-07:002007-06-17T20:51:00.000-07:00The thought of "dressing up" for rock bands strike...The thought of "dressing up" for rock bands strikes me as hilarious. Rock musicians generally haven't worn suits and ties since the early 60s - why should their audiences dress better than the performers? It's not like we're talking about Itzhak Perlman here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-3981931438788036972007-06-17T18:16:00.000-07:002007-06-17T18:16:00.000-07:00I saw Cheap Trick back in the 80s.

I left after that.<BR/><BR/>While Lindsey was wowing us at Harrah's, Jewel was down the street playing at the Montbleu.Darrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15730642770935985796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-88287365732070462862007-06-17T12:27:00.000-07:002007-06-17T12:27:00.000-07:00But surely you're going back to see Cheap Trick!An...But surely you're going back to see Cheap Trick!<BR/><BR/>And my sentiments exactly re: folks dressed oh so casually.
