MICHAEL WYKE/Tulsa World
Last night's
Bob Seger audience was easily one of the most unruly groups of fans I've ever experienced.
I'm no spring cluck myself, but experiencing herds of baby boomers spilling beer down the front of my shirt, onto my pants, smoking in a non-smoking venue, pushing and shoving, hurling insults, getting falling-down-the-stairs drunk, fielding feedbag-size-purses-to-the-face and hineys-to-the-chin ... The inebriated fans really just shocked me.
Last night was a comedy of really, really
bad middle-age stereotypes.
People. Get out more. Drink less. Don't kill me on your drive home. Or someone else's kids. Or yourselves.
How the roles have reversed, yes? I'm asking people my parents' age to be more responsible.
Seriously. The arse-end to the face was really too much. And there were more bathroom breaks than beers served, I'm afraid. I saw some people go as many as six times during the 2-plus hour set.
Awk-ward.
I really do hope this is Seger's last tour. It's not his fault, but I won't be seeing him again.
