Something s always going to happen. There s something awesome about live music. It s in the moment, Cullen Hagan, a senior, who went to his concert in fourth grade, says. He saw the New Kids on the Block and got hooked. Since then he s seen Phish the Allman Brothers, Paul Simon and Bob Dylan.
Concerts separate the fans from the music lovers.
Stephanie Drahan, another senior who also is a Dave Matthews fan, agrees. Dave has great jam sessions and his songs are always changing. Live music s better. But Drahan also believes there is more to the appeal of concerts than great music. She saw her first concert as a kind of rite of passage and thinks that concerts are, in a sense, part of growing up.
