Some lady posted a pic of Woodstock (3 days, 400,000 people) and tried to compare it to the debris left after this concert (1 day, 60,000 people).

I can see where some of these people would think that leaving buckets filled with poop, walmart bags with puke in it, and god knows what else laying around constitutes perfectly normal behavior. Doesn't bode well for their quality of life or upbringing, but I understand where they get it from.

All I ask is that they take it with them and dispose of it as they normally would at home: on the lawn

What I always found interesting is these same people that trash places are the first ones to wave a US flag in front of you. Strange.

or talk about family values.

or bring use God to justify any number of negative or malicious behaviors.

But only suburbanites engage in such bad behavior not the sanctimonious urbanites; just ask this forum

[StrangeLight]

well, suburbanites are the worst. no argument there.

yeah, the couches get burnt in oakland. and they're burnt by college students. who aren't actually from pittsburgh. they are from 'burbs and small towns around western PA and ohio, though.

At least in the 'burbs we use leather chairs to reserve parking spots in the Winter and burn high end couches at polo matches.

I'm no stranger to the act of imbibing alcohol, but I can't even fathom what it must be like to feel the need to get so beyond loaded that you can't even control yourself/your bodily functions, all in the name of some musician whose songs you can't even name. When I think about the tens thousands of pathetic morons for whom that defines having fun, I find my irritation strangely subsiding, simply grateful that I am infinitely more capable than those poor souls of deriving entertainment without being having to be destructive, either to myself or to my environment. It sucks that these idiots trash our city once a year, but the concert likely isn't going anywhere as the economic benefit surely outweighs the negative outcomes in the eyes, so I grasp onto this thankfulness for not being one of them as a silver lining.

Though I would not complain if they confined this kind of pond scum-attracting crap to Starlake. I'm sure Alco and the SEA would survive.

Am I the only one wondering how the nation's "smartest" city can attract Kenny Chesney but NOT Coldplay?

They probably got turned off by playing to a half-filled amphitheater in Burgettstown. Saw them their twice and both times tickets were still available day of.

We are getting Muse for the first time, which I'm really looking forward to.

Agree with that. In my crazy 20's I never did anything like went on at that concert. As my late Mother would say: Some people just don't know how to act.
