Apparently concert venues are having a hard time getting Millennials to fill the seats. Well, hello. Millennial here. I think I can help.

DEAR CONCERT VENUES:

🎟️ Just tell me what the ticket costs. I do not want to select a $79 ticket and discover at checkout that it is actually $146 because of a facility fee, service fee, processing fee, and a fee for having successfully paid the other fees.

📱 Stop making ticket buying a military operation. I should not need three apps, a verified fan code, a presale password from a credit card I don’t own, and 11:00 AM availability on a Tuesday to buy two seats.

💺 Assigned seats. We did our time standing shoulder-to-shoulder at shows in 2008. Some of us have mortgages now. Some of us have sciatica.

🕖 Start earlier. A 7 PM show is not embarrassing. In fact, I would like to formally recognize whoever invented the 7 PM show.

⏰ And tell us the actual times. “Doors at 7” is not useful information if the opener starts at 8:15 and the person I came to see appears at 10:07.

🚗 Parking instructions written for a normal person. Tell me which garage to use, what it costs, and whether I will spend 55 minutes trying to leave it afterward. I am willing to pay $20 for certainty.

🍺 I will buy your $14 beer. I have accepted this. But if I miss three songs waiting for it, you have broken the social contract.

🚽 Enough bathrooms. We are in our 30s and 40s. Half of us have had children. This is now infrastructure.

🔉 It can still be loud. We are Millennials, not the Greatest Generation. But some of us are bringing earplugs now and we are no longer ashamed of it.

DEAR ARTISTS:

⏰ Please go on roughly when you said you would. We have babysitters. The babysitter has an end time. This is now a logistics problem involving several adults.

🎤 Play the songs from 2004–2014. You know which ones. We know which ones. Nobody needs to pretend otherwise.

🎶 Play some new stuff. Absolutely. We support your continued artistic development. But there is a point in the evening when you need to play the song that was on our iPod Nano while we drove to high school.

📵 You can tell us to put our phones away. We secretly want someone to make us do this anyway.

🪑 An intermission would not offend us. We can use the bathroom, answer the babysitter, check whether the dog has destroyed anything, and look at Zillow for eight minutes.

And please understand: Millennials still like concerts.

We have disposable income now. We are nostalgic. We will absolutely spend irresponsible amounts of money to hear a band we first discovered on LimeWire.

But we also have jobs, children, dogs, mortgages, lower-back problems, and a very clear memory of when concert tickets cost $35.

You want Millennials back?

Make it easy to buy the ticket. Tell us when the show actually starts. Give us somewhere to sit. Play the song from 2007.

We’ll be there.

We just need to be home by 11.

Singles - 1994

Written & Directed by Cameron Crowe

Singles Facts

-Alice in Chains refused to do a playback for their concert in the film. They were allowed to perform live (which is featured at the end of the video below).

-Cameron Crowe wrote an early version of Singles in 1984 set in Phoenix. After Mother Love Bone singer Andrew Wood died in 1990, Crowe was inspired by Seattle’s music community coming together and rewrote the script, moving it to Seattle.

-When Steve is buying pregnancy tests and talks with the cashier, "Mr. Deegan's class" is mentioned. Mr. Deegan is a teacher in Fast Times at Ridgemont High, which Crowe also wrote.

-Crowe originally wanted Chris Cornell to play Cliff Poncier, played by Matt Dillon. Crowe has said he worked with Cornell on the part and practiced scenes together, that Cornell was a natural. Unfortunately the filming commitment conflicted with Soundgarden’s achedule and he couldnt commit.

-Eddie Vedder played the drummer in Citizen Dick, and also supplied the vocals for Cliff, on the song "Touch Me I'm Dick".

-Jeff Ament (Pearl Jam) made up a list of fake song titles for the fictional band Citizen Dick in the movie. One of those titles was “Spoon Man.”

-Chris Cornell liked the titles and wrote real songs based on them as a fun project. He recorded an early version of “Spoonman.”

-That rough version plays in the background of Singles during the scene where someone is posting Citizen Dick fliers.

-Check out the other cameos below, some great talent.

There is a tiny lake in Canada whose mud almost became the official starting point of a new geological epoch.

Crawford Lake in Ontario was chosen as the proposed “golden spike” for the Anthropocene.

The reason lies in its extraordinary… mud.

One of my favorite stripped-down MTV performances from that era was Blind Melon doing “Change.”

They never did Unplugged, but appeared on MTV Most Wanted.

Just them, the room, and Shannon Hoon’s voice.

“Change” and “No Rain” were their commercially successful tunes in contrast to “Toes Across the Floor,” which a lot of people still argue was the stronger song overall. I posted a live version yesterday.

The self-titled album (Blind Melon, 1992) went on to sell over 4 million copies in the U.S. (4× platinum).

“No Rain” hit No. 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 1 on both the Mainstream Rock and Modern Rock charts.

“Change” was more modest on the charts was more modest on the charts, but the song itself is about moving forward and staying optimistic.

That performance really highlighted Hoon’s unique vocal abilities.

“ We all can’t stay here forever so I’m going to write my words on the face of today.”

“Change”

"Eat at a local restaurant tonight. Get the cream sauce. Have a cold pint at 4 o’clock in a mostly empty bar. Go somewhere you’ve never been. Listen to someone you think may have nothing in common with you. Order the steak rare. Eat an oyster. Have a negroni. Have two. Be open to a world where you may not understand or agree with the person next to you, but have a drink with them anyways. Eat slowly. Tip your server. Check in on your friends. Check in on yourself. Enjoy the ride."

"Sounds of Seattle" 1991, festival gratuito pagado por el ayuntamiento para publicitar el talento local. Pearl Jam cierran el concierto a tres días de publicar su primer álbum "Ten" y a un mes de que saliera el "Nevermind" de Nirvana que cambiaría la industria musical de un día para otro.

"Ten" no cuajó en un primer momento tras su lanzamiento y tuvieron que pasar ocho meses hasta que la fuerza de arrastre de "Smells Like Teen Spirit" —y el repentino interés hacia otras bandas grunges por parte de la MTV—, alzaran al icónico álbum al número dos de las listas estadounidenses.

Este fue el último momento en que Pearl Jam no fueron nadie. Tocando en su ciudad, para una mezcla de fans tempraneros del grupo y paisanos que pasaban por ahí y no tenían nada mejor que hacer.

Documentazo.
