I just spent the better part of a glorious Avett Brothers concert trying to avert my peripheral gaze from your undimmed phone which you used to snap photos and videos, text and Facebook the whole time. Oh yeah, and you held said phone AWAY from your own view so you could see what was on the stage unimpeded. I’m sure the lady behind us was delighted. There are other people, you know. And they want to watch the concert through something other than your goddamned smart screen. Take some photos, by all means – even a video or two – but eventually, please put the fucking phone down and enjoy the view. —Your photos look like shit anyway

Don’t they use the phones for the slow songs instead of the ol’ Bic Lighters…
Smart phones are ruining everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Give gorillas a smartphone and I’d bet in a week they’d be behaving like this dewsh.
I went to see the Heavy Blinkers instead. Good music attracts good people, and vice versa.
