These are the guys that looked impossible in the face and knocked it out in the first round.
They knocked it out in the 50th round, but you didn't hear about the other 49 rounds.
Also, seriously... leave the concert just to meet some guy? Don't idolise people. As the old buddhist saying goes: If perchance you meet the Buddha wandering on a mountain path, kill him.
The author unfortunately has his priorities all wrong...
Well the Radiohead concert kind of blew anyways, it was way oversold and I was 500 feet back. And some guy was standing right in front of me so I couldn't see. So that made the decision a lot easier.
I have a rule about this: If it's a band that everybody has heard of, their concerts are no longer worth attending.
As much as I enjoy Radiohead, it would never cross my mind to go to their concert. Best show I've ever seen was the Flaming Lips about ten years ago, maybe longer, in a crappy concert hall in Houston called The Abyss (held about 900 people, but only about 400 were at that show...I paid $12 to get in and thought it was a bit steep). But, even though I have exceedingly fond memories of that show, I would not go see the Lips perform today. It'd just be a letdown.
I saw the Lips 3 years ago and had a blast, one of the best shows I've ever been to. There's an art to entertaining a small crowd, and one to entertaining a large one. My guess is that the Flaming Lips are masters at both.
One fallacy though:
