an open letter to the guy in front of me at the arcade fire show

Posted on Monday 25 October 2010

Arcade Fire live at the Shrine Auditorium

Dear the guy in front of me at the 7 October Arcade Fire show,

The irony of telling people to stop singing along after the lyric, “They heard me singing and they told me to stop”, was obviously lost on you, but I take some solace in the fact that your kind got called out. Straight up:

So every time at every show, there’s always someone in front of you who’s like, “Could you please not dance, ’cause I’m trying to watch a show.” So politely say, “It’s very nice to meet you, and I respect your personal space, but I’m trying to be at a fucking rock and roll show.”
