And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
There's a trade-off. I can bring a camera into the concert to take videos and pictures to remember the occasion. I can re-watch the parts of the concert I record, not just remember it in my mind. I can look back at the smiling faces in group-selfies and remember those I'm with.
Lol yeah, why bother spending hours searching for just the right picture you need from stock photos and then paying to use it (so the watermark isn't there) when you can just write a prompt and get an image that's adequate for usage in minutes. Seen others do things similar, then justify the fakery and edits to a real photo "to reflect the underlying [philosophical/political] reality".
In all of my years, I can count on one hand the number of times I attended a rock concert of any kind. I certainly do not have the tickets for the four or five that I did go to. As far as QR codes go, I do not do them. Hell, I barely use my cell phone as a telephone let alone other mind-numbing activities.
I have my ticket stubs from the 1975 Alabama-Auburn Game in Legion Field (Shug Jordan's last game - been offered $500 for it), and the 1996 Steelers-Panthers Game in Charlotte, when Cordell ran it 80 yards to set a NFL QB rushing TD record, since eclipsed, I believe.
I don't keep my old concert stubs in a box either, they are on the wall in frames made especially for them, along with the albums.
ReplyDeletestop attending them & tell everyone you know ..
ReplyDeleteDo Not Go
no cash, digital only events=
DO not go
remember when the NFL allowed players to take a knee during the anthem?
to hell with them
Why were they altered? Very few of those stubs appear to be the real thing.
ReplyDeleteI’ve never been a collector. A few pieces of memorabilia here and there and a box of children’s “art” in the garage.

ReplyDeleteI think many of the commenters here have missed the point of the post and the image. It’s the concept. Not the image.
