Now, I may be an old timer, but this is my 15th time seeing Ani in about as many years, and let me just say, this crowd was terrible. They didn’t stand up when she came on stage, they didn’t sing along to the folky songs, and they were just plain blah. This may had to do with the Orpheum Nazis who came and told people to STOP DANCING which I would have photographed except they were on serious camera watch, either way, this made me feel really, really old.
But at least I still dance. Fight the power.

“Stop dancing?” Jesus, that reminds me of that movie that Wham! did back in the 80s when they went to China and the Red Guards told the concertgoers that they had to stay seated and weren’t allowed to dance.
It’s MUSIC, for Christ’s sake. Sheesh.
