I Missed the KFOG Concert. Sounds Like I Made the Right Choice.

5 reasons why I think it was a good thing that I ended up missing the KFOG 'Kaboom' concert:
  1. Los Lobos headlined. Oh sorry, I had to answer the phone, 1982 was calling, and wanted to know why Los Lobos sucked so much. In 1982.
  2. It screws up traffic. According to local sources, the whole thing makes traffic in an already traffic-challenged city that much more difficult. Feh, I say.
  3. It happens on Mother's Day weekend. At least this year...and I haven't the energy to research whether this is typically the case. But regardless, what kind of asshat plans a concert on the eve of a day when we're supposed to show up and celebrate momhood???
  4. It inadvertently proves that capitalism is viciously accurate. Last year represented the first year that KFOG chose to charge for admission to its annual fanfest, and it seems that interest hasn't waned in the slightest. Price elasticity y'all??
  5. I was in LA when it happened. And sour grapes rule...
