I have seen Barry Manilow in concert and I know the Manilow fans can be a rowdy bunch and the time I saw him when he came out here in the 90s I could barely hear him 'cause there were too many people screaming and my Aunt's a big Barry Manilow fan and and had every Barry Manilow thing there is to own including signed albums, DVDs, videos, posters, books, shirts, hats, keyrings, drink coasters, a board game, cups, stickers, mugs etc and she had a crush on him when she was younger.

I'm vague on the details. It happened before I was born. Something upset him, he played for a bit, and said he was done with this hick town and left.
My hometown has that effect on people.

We have had a few international artists and bands that have had bad experiences with fans playing here too and Gary Allan refuses to play shows up in Queensland when he tours Australia now 'cause a lot of bogans and yobbos were having fights at his last concert and Dwight Yoakam also refuses 'cause bogans were throwing beer bottles at him. Then there was Everclear at the Big Day Out and they had people throwing things at them while they were trying to perform and walked off stage. Sadly some concerts have been ruined here by people and they are often drunk when they are doing it.

Yeah, some people are bastards who have to ruin things for everybody else. Worst of all they don't feel any regret for what they did.

They sure are and I will never understand why people like that even waste their money going to those concerts 'cause they are ruining it for themselves along with everybody else and some of those concerts weren't cheap to go to and they don't look like they are rich so I just don't get it with them and think they need to grow up.

You hit the nail on the head. They need to grow up instead of acting like spoiled, entitled children.

If they are going to get drunk and act like immature idiots they shouldn't go to the concerts in the first place and they should stay at home where nobody else has to deal with them. It is like people who go to football games here and get drunk and go around looking for a fight and I think I told you I know people who have been attacked at football games by drunks for no reason at all except for wearing the opposite team's colours or telling them to quiet down 'cause they can't enjoy the game and I am glad they are cracking down on those people more at football games and throwing them out but they need to do the same thing at concerts more often. I know you said you weren't a fan of football but have you been to any sports events?

I know you said you weren't a fan of football but have you been to any sports events? Didn't you hear? That’s just boys being boys. It is their nature to be violent and carry on like hooligans when they are drunk and if they assault anybody male or female we can’t hold that against them because they are only acting out and trying to find their place in the world like any boy their age would be doing. No wonder so many guys are fed up with that attitude too because it's only when they are king hit and it makes the news something is done about them.

I hate that defense because my friends, family, and self have never acted that way. So it's not boys being boys. It's an asshole who got caught and is trying to excuse his shitty behavior.

That is a very lame defence and it is one that doesn't hold up anymore like it may have in the old days 'cause there are many men who aren't violent and don't do things like that and if they can be decent people those other men can too and shouldn't use their gender as an excuse 'cause when it comes down to it they are just being a bunch of dickheads and nobody should be a dickhead.

The problem with dickheads is they suffer from a high sense of entitlement that they think allows them to do whatever they want.

Problem is it's not just about dickheads, group mentality messes with people, weaker personalities can easily be influenced in those situations, you also add the overconfidence people feel when in a group and shit can easily turn sideways, I mean you take a group of people who can behave and do behave as a group in any given situation, you remove one positive influencer and replace it with a negative one and the attitude and behaviour of the group can easily change.
Group mentality also makes people feel less personally responsible for their own behaviour, I mean theres a reason why during riots why the nice old man who feeds the pigeons and says hello and chats with the ole bill is suddenly throwing bottles of piss at the police cars calling everyone a cunt, and why I always go back to the wise words of Agent K, a person is smart people other hand they be stupid as fuck.

The bigger problem with dickheads is they are everywhere and there is no escaping them. We have them here in Australia, you have them over in the UK and General Kenobi has them in America but the poor General is currently stuck with having one of them as his President and him and his group of dickheads are just making more problems for people. I don't understand why we need to have people like this in the world 'cause we would all be better off without them but I agree with your comments about group mentality and weaker personalities can be easily influenced or will follow the others out of fear. We need more people to think for themselves and make their own decisions but at the same time we need more people working together for the greater good.

History is full of group mentality and powerful personalities dominating weaker ones. The thing is politicians love it when people can't think for themselves and believe everything they are told. Makes it easier to control them.

Makes it easier to control them. Sadly you are right and with politicians they even do this to each other in their own parties and I was telling you about that politician who quit the Coalition not long ago 'cause she was being bullied and sexually harassed by her male co-workers and it just goes to show these are not the type of people we should have running our countries but a lot of the time the people who are and could make great leaders and change many things for the better don't want to do it. Instead we are stuck with a bunch of selfish and greedy people running things who only care about themselves.

And the fact that we the people voted them in says something about us. We need to take a long, hard, honest look at ourselves and realize the problem is within us and not just the politicians. As long as we are selfish and greedy and full of hate we're going to keep getting politicians who are the same.

As long as we are selfish and greedy and full of hate we're going to keep getting politicians who are the same. Yeah. I think we all need to do that. Australia and America 'cause while our Politicians aren't as bad as in some other countries where they put people to death for just having a different view and speaking up against them they are far from perfect and the government here is in the worst condition it has been and is literally falling apart with people leaving every week with the closer it gets to the next election and I know a lot of people who were working for Donald Trump in the Republican party are gone now but I have never seen anything like this in our country and they must know the Coalition are going to lose so they are leaving as soon as possible 'cause they don't want to go down with Scott Morrison in May. Malcolm Turnbull would be loving this 'cause the party had far more stability when he was the Prime Minister but since he was kicked out there has been nothing but chaos and division within. I don't think the Labor party are perfect but I think we will still far more stability under them and they will fix a lot of problems and hopefully the same will happen in your next election with the Democrats. I hear there are heaps of women running to go against Donald and Bernie Sanders is going to run again.
