Hey Beck, Phoenix Sucks

First of all, had you been a reader of my blog, maybe you would have known that already. I was confused from the beginning as to why you chose to play the "State Fair" anyway. Cool to keep it real, and let in a lot of people for virtually free, but so many ghetto-mentality people attended that it really got in the way of those of us who were there to truly enjoy the show.

Your management really should have forbidden the big glowsticks that were given away for free. As projectiles, those things could have taken an eye out. I was so pissed off that so many idiots thought it funny to throw them at you. It's like those people have never done anything in their pathetic lives worth noting, so they need to be noticed.

I was so embarrassed of this place when you were doing a very good show and singing a song beautifully and you get pegged in the guitar with a glowstick. Ridiculous. Cleraly, you have probably been in worse, and it was obvious that the majority of the attendees were there to be respctful and to have fun... but still.

Also, the sound sucked. When the dude was testing it out, it was obvious the feedback was out of control. I kinda thought they would fix that before you got out there, but maybe it was unfixable. Next time you come to Phoenix, please play the Dodge. It's not full of people smoking cigarettes and blowing smoke in may face, and assigned seating is respected there. I had assigned seats last night and some idiot and his date (who had the highest pitch howl i have heard in a long time) squeezed into one seat next to me. Meaning, her white-girl awkward jerking dance style kept jamming me with elbows. I mean, I'm glad she enjoyed the music and I coudl have dealt with her squeezing in, but her flailing was so out of line during the ballod sets. And she gleeks at opportune times, leaving droplets of saliva on me. nice. But that's not your fault...and that could happen at nicer venues.

I loved the set where your band played on glasses of water and other dishes. That was awesome. I also regret that sweaty hog of a girl was selected to help you play the harmonium. I respected that you called her out for being soaking wet with sweat and dissed her attempt to hug you. Saluting was good enough. Classic that she tried to "Sex up" her assistance and your drummer mocked her stupid butt-sway. What an idiot. However, I don't know what I would have done. It seems clear you are down with dorks, and I am too... but she was clearly drunk or high and sweaty. Trying too damn hard.

Anyway, it could have been an awesome show. Love your dancing guy. He rocks. It was the venue and the crowd that got in the way. And you are cute enough that I just want to put you in my pocket and take you home. You could freestyle and dance funky on my coffee table.

Thanks for trying. THis place doesn't deserve it and maybe I don't either for being here and thus a part of it. you shouldn't have to play the swankier venues to give a good show.
