It is that time of year again when summer nights and summer days entice large crowds of people to gather. The people all share a common interest and the atmosphere is filled with excitement. There is laughter, chatter and restlessness as everyone waits for the big show. Before the main act begins the opening acts tries to rally up the crowd.

When it comes to concerts there is always a guarantee of sweating, body surfing and dancing. Everyone is there to have a good time and the performing artists are expected to deliver. The audience already has an idea as to what to expect like the songs being played. In chaotic unison their voices amplify the own singer's lyrics and this is what a concert is all about.

Truth be told, I have been to concerts before and I am not a fan of them. It is often forgotten that depending on the venue of each concert, whether inside or outside, the environment is interesting. There is always a line like trying to enter the concert through security or simply to use the restrooms. I know that my argument as to why concerts are not all that fun seems lacking but I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything.

For some odd reason, I do not idolize singers and have no desire to meet them. Yes, I do enjoy listening to their songs and even play a lot on repeat. When it comes to live performances or simply playing their songs from Youtube, Spotify, radio, or Pandora, I would choose the cheaper or free version. The quality of any musician's music appears to be all the same in the end. The lyrics do not change, nor do the singers, and everything is to be expected.

For those who plan or have already attended concerts this summer, I just want to say that concerts are fun. It is a place of camaraderie with similar interests. You get to see the artist that you paid for and the atmosphere is invigorating.
