American Idols Live!

Yeah, I went to the American Idols Live show in Greensboro, NC on Sunday, July 17, 2005. Here are just a few of the things I noticed.

There was a large digital sign inside the Greensboro Coliseum Complex reminding patrons that profanity was not allowed in the Coliseum Complex. They should have had this sign in the parking lot. I was using a lot of profanity when I was charged $8.00 to park my car.

Didn't I pay taxes for this place already? When I come to the Super-Flea it only cost $3.00 to park. I know, you need to pay all the high school drop-outs with the orange vests scratching themselves with the flashlights,but $8.00?

If we had a hurricane and I charged $25.00 for a sheet of plywood I could get put in jail, but I guess it's ok to rob concert goers? I have an idea. Only charge me $5.00 and I'll find my own spot. And one more thing, where the hell are all those helpful parking guys and gals when the show is over? I could use their help then.

I liked the part of the show when Nikko said "Are there any lovers in the house tonight?," and the six year-old-girl sitting in front of me jumped up and yelled, "Yeah!"

I heard Clay Aiken and Pamela Anderson were in the crowd. (Not together.)

The Coliseum might want to take that photo of Luther Vandross off its digitial "upcoming events" board. I pretty sure he's not coming.

I went to a KISS concert at the Greensboro Colisem Complex a few years ago and I would like to compare the two events. Here's the "Tale of the Tape".

American Idol Concert vs KISS Concert

Number of fights in women's restroom American Idol 0 KISS 2

Average Age of Concert Patron American Idol 14 KISS 42

Knives Confiscated American Idol 0 KISS 463

Number of visible tattoos American Idol 148 KISS 4537

Number of Patrons following rules

So, there it is a side by side comparison of the two events.
