Hmmm, I suppose it's a reviewer's job to be more observant than the rest of us, but there's something kinda pretentious about feeling the need to point out the abundance of "polo shirts" at the Pageant show. I'm still trying to figure out the significance of that sentiment, actually. One of the things I love so much about live shows is the feeling that comes from seeing thousands of like-minded music fans in one place, rocking out together, sharing an experience that transcends superficial judgment. Thank goodness I wasn't wearing a polo shirt that night, 'else I might have ended up on that writer's "nerd" list!

That said, I do remember the "This song f*cking kicks a**!" guy, and recall thinking he was an asshat. However, that was shouted during a quiet moment long before the curtain call, the actual ovation for Ray at the end of the show was loud and fantastic. Perhaps the reviewer was too distracted making mental notes of the crowd's wardrobe when the rest of us were whistling and screaming...?

On that note, I can't wait for the official announcement of the fall tour dates! Come back to the Pageant, Ray. I know a few gals are already practicing their bra-throwing skills.
