over the weekend while attending a very glamorous music festival, I overheard a fellow behind wondering out loud why venues / stage managers cannot employ the most rudimentary of means to stop bass drums from sliding all over the place (perhaps a series of hooks or a curved plastic fixture). Much as I hated to play mr. know-it-all, I carefully explained in my least condescending tones that such efforts would fall short due to the vast resources of BIG CINDERBLOCK. People don’t like to talk about how the cinderblock lobby has a stranglehold on this aspect of live entertainment and with good reason. Those things can do a lot of damage and no one wants to have the skull rearranged by a falling cinderblock. This show, however, is all about truth-telling regardless of risks posed to yours truly so strap your yourself in for TWO HOURS of explosive revelations about the cinderblock industry’s pervasive influence.
