Bad Company

I went to see Bad Company in Raleigh tonight - part of a free outdoor concert series. I do love rock and roll. I enjoyed listening to all the old Bad Co tunes from long ago. It was a great time.

The rock and roll scene has it's light and dark side - just like everything and everyone. I could have done without the sexism from the host radio station DJs. And I've certainly seen and heard a lot worse. The DJs paraded out the "girls" from the station that come to all of their events. The announcement was something to the effect of - guys, we've brought our station girls out for you. In case you are wondering, there was no parade of good looking "boys" for the audience to view. You may be asking, what's the big deal? It's not a big deal - it's part of our culture that includes behaviors that are on a continuum of beliefs and attitudes about women and men that are why the crimes of rape and domestic violence exist. The small things aren't the big deal. The small things deserve our attention to understand the things that are a big deal.

Just some thoughts on the night. It was a perfect night for an outdoor concert and Bad Co delivered some great old rock tunes.
