I went to the warped tour yesterday. I saw a bunch of bands, and had a lot of fun. Now I'm depressed, because it was so cool and I can't go again until next year. I saw Anti-Flag, Flogging Molly, the Matches and a bunch of other bands. If I could do the day again, I would have *not* made out with this one girl and gone to see the Bouncing Souls instead, because they rock. Naked Jim crowd surfed during Flogging Molly.
Anyway, other bands that I saw were "Taking Back Sunday" "Sugarcult" and a bunch others. The best was Anti-Flag, by far. I was in the pit right in front of them, and saw them up close, and they were really good. They dedicated the song "Turncoat (mp3) (http://www.fatwreck.com/empee/50165.mp3)" to George W Bush. In fact, the whole show was oriented very strongly against the Bush Administration. The Dixie Chicks caught a lot of shit for busting on him, but Anti-Flag called Bush a "Motherfucker" on a couple of occasions, to a cheering crowd. The general consensus was summed up by a couple bands as "Get Bush the fuck out this year, and Kerry the fuck out in '08." I guess that's about the most realistic course of action that can be taken, although I would really rather see a third party get elected. The crowd even liked it when various bands (from Sweden and Ireland) said things like "As a citizen of the world, I'd like to ask you a favor... and get Georgie the fuck out of the White House."
Anyway, a whole lot of fun was had. Has anybody else gone to the Warped Tour this Summer, or will anyone? How about other concerts?
