I was there, great show...

Exact quote:
"Guns in the hands of bad people is a bad thing.  Guns in the hands of good 
people is a good thing.  Except for bad people..."
Then the screen cut to a ~2 year girl picking up a gun off the floor.
Very powerful.

By the way do people feel that it is OK for bands to push issues with their 
music?  Has any of these caused people not to listen to a certain band?  For 
example, like when E. Vedder drew "Pro-choice" on his arm with a marker?

It doesn't really bother me, just curious about others.  I think music can 
be a very influential medium to a widespread population, for good or bad.

>By the way, what is too loud?

When Ass Pony opened for OtR back in '96, that was *too* loud.  My ears were 
ringing so badly I could barely hear OtR when they came on.
U2 was a very nice level.

Later all,
