A Face In The Crowd

 

Ben E. Dum - Should I Stay or Should I Go?

 I am in a state of shock. I just found something out that I thought would never happen again. Our Moz is coming to Pittsburgh on September 25 at the Benedum Center. The last concert I attended was his show here on January 21, 2013. I was fully prepared to never attend another show. I'm very much a misanthrope. I hate crowds of people. I can feel their thoughts and tangled emotions bouncing against my brain. My only defense to attempt to lock them out is silence and concentration on being alone. I don't think I have enochlophobia but I think there is a touch of Asperger's going on here.

So, what do I do? I have to go to see Morrissey. I may never have a chance to see him again. Remember, in a concert hall of 2800 people I will be the one that is truly alone clawing against my inner demons. If Our Moz sees me, please don't think I'm not enjoying myself. Have mercy on me. I will be two people that night, one delighted to see my favorite artist, the other absolutely dreading the situation I put myself in.
