All She Wants to do is Dance

The Eagles fan in Sec. 119 came to boogie last night. “One of These Nights” kicked in, and she jumped out of her seat and flapped her arms like a funky chicken. Then came the dirty looks – and then she was told to sit down by someone sitting behind her. See, it’s uncool to stand up during an Eagles concert. People pay way too much – upwards of $130 per ticket at Arco last night – to have any views obstructed. And the group that penned “Life in the Fast Lane” draws mostly a middle-aged audience that would rather kick back these days. But isn’t the whole idea of a rock concert to heal those 9-to-5 blues by losing yourself in the music? Maybe the Eagles should have “La-Z-Boy” furniture sponsor its next tour.
