Honestly, this entire story fascinates me. There's NO WAY Coldplay just randomly focused on this cheating couple in a box suite and made that comment without knowing. Coldplay is a group that has taken huge stands against governments and supported many important social causes. They played one of my favorite Super Bowl halftime shows with very affirming LGBTQ messaging for an American Football game that would never get a pass now in our current political climate.

All this to say, fuck around and find out!

On the phones in public spaces, it is a bit of a gray area. I see this all the time in the dark clubs late at night when my favorite eletronic dance music is playing. Some people want to enjoy the moment and get lost in the music. Others want to record the moment so they can relive it forever. Im recent years, the phone crowd is winning. At more and more events, I see people more focused on capturing the moment than enjoying the moment.

I'm guilty of this too, especially when I'm at a show to do coverage for Moon Lvnding rather than enjoy the show for what it is. I try to focus on the artist, the production, and spectacle... but sometimes there are faces in the crowd that just get caught up in the party.

At least I'm glad that the proliferation of mobile phones has kept police slightly more accountable for their actions. Now we have armed police forces with faces covered and hidden badges. I'm much more scared of this, than people having their lives ruined for some bad choices they made at a concert.
