well that's no reason to feel out of place. But if it is to you, I'm sure a festival put on by Jay-Z will have a much more diverse audience than the spectrum PJ shows.
I know I shouldn't but I do. Let me explain. Grew up listening to Classic Rock, Heavy/Speed Metal...went to see The Doors movies in the 80's. Had a bunch of racist pricks throwing beer cans at me, my sister and our friend and telling us we didn't belong there...what are black people doing here watching this movie.
Since then, I feel some sort of way as a black female, loving groups such as PJ, AIC, Soundgardern, etc. and going to concerts and having dirty looks because, YIKES A BLACK GIRL IS HERE.
I missed PJ in Philly as they closed out the Spectrum for this purpose...and I do NOT want to do that again. This is why I didn't go see Stone/BRAD tonight in Philly. *sighs* I can't make you understand...I wish I could
Brad's playing in DC tomorrow night. Its only a three hour drive.

Wait, Pearl Jam shows are racially integrated? I just figured it was against the law for a black person to attend since I've never seen one at a show before.

My apologies for derailing this thread with jokes about Stone's sexual preferences and msdizzydolores's lady boner for him, however ... I am forced to observe that Vivian can be a boys name ... Vivian Wang could have been born in British occupied Hong Kong.
Vivian \v(i)-vian\ as a boy's name (also used as girl's name Vivian), is of Latin origin, and the meaning of Vivian is "full of life". A girl's name in America, but occasionally used for boys in Britain.
