Buried Alive Deep Inside The Mosh Pit

You can sign up for it (no strings attached) right here:  http://www.kingofcopy.com/fts/11_09_05/

I am now officially "getting old."

Here's what I mean:  I always felt once you couldn't relate to the very aspect of pop culture you're involved with, meaning -- there are some aspects of the younger generation you just "can't" understand, then you're getting old.

Whether you like it... or not.

Here's what happened:  A few weeks ago, I took my sons who are 15 and a half and 13 and a half to see Audioslave live, at the University Of South Florida Sun Dome (where I saw Stevie RayVaughan play only a few months before he died back in 1990).  And yes I know it's scary to think that someone with such a juvenile sense of humor like me can have a 15 year-old, but frankly that's his cross to bear, not mine.

I took them because I wanted to see the band, and I knew they liked Audioslave as well. 

We go to concerts quite a bit.  I've always loved music but when I was growing up, I just didn't have the kind of money you needed to go and attend concerts.

Plus, growing up in the Bronx, it was hit or miss whether or not your friends had the same interests, and going down to Madison Square Garden alone just didn't seem as exciting as going down there with a bunch of friends.

I did see Ted Nugent open up for Aerosmith one time, and or course I saw the Grateful Dead and Ray Charles when I was in college (I worked Student Security so I could get in to see the shows for free), and one HUGE difference I noticed between shows back then and shows I see now, is that nowadays hardly anyone's smoking weed at these shows.

Instead they're holding up their cell phones to record the concert.

I'm not saying this is "Bad" of course -- in fact, it's great that young kids are getting "off" without having to use drugs.

It's just that it's quite noticeably "different".

But I digress...

So I'm at the Audioslave show (one of the best concerts I've seen in a while -- they really rocked) and here's what I saw that just totally escaped me.  It was something called...

The Mosh Pit. 

If you don't know what a "mosh pit" is, let me give you the short version of what this "experience" entails.

It's a big huge circle of people who gather around the stage and whip themselves up into a frenzy -- spinning around and around in circles about as fast and as randomly as electrons spinning around the nucleus of an atom -- and then they deliberately (and happily) smash into one another.

Sorry... but...

I just don't get it.

When I was a kid we played tackle football... we played "kill the carrier"... and even when we were stoned out of our minds on dope we did silly and sometimes "thrill-seeking" things.

But what's the thrill you get out of "moshing".

Headaches?  New age male bonding?  (Of course women are much too smart to do this -- it's a "guys only" club.)  Macho-bravado ego stroking?

I'm miffed on this one.

Any ideas?

Anyway, one thing I can promise you, is that on my FREE "How To Eliminate ALL Your Marketing Headaches!" Teleseminar on Wednesday night, November 9th at 8 PM Eastern Standard (Florida) Time -- http://www.kingofcopy.com/fts/11_09_05/ -- is that...

The Mosh Pit...

Will...
