Audience at the Jimmy Buffet Cover band concert/ Photo by Rebecca Huguet
I wonder if anyone knew about the Jimmy Buffet cover band that played on the Quad Friday. Well… I don’t think that anyone did because there was only about 25 people there… and if you take me out and the CAB representatives out than about 20 people showed up just to listen to this band. That is a little sad.
But why did no one show up? Was it not advertised right? ….. Well I don’t think that is the real problem. I mean I just don’t think that the students were into this concert…. and well, I can’t say I blame them.
It was four old guys standing on a stage singing songs from their glory days.
They were singing songs about drinking and alcohol on a dry campus, and better yet most of the students there were probably freshmen, so they were underage. That makes so much sense.
So these four guys were singing and all of them seemed as old if not older than my parents. What college student would be interested?
I can’t be too mean because the band was really good. They had talent but that is not the problem I have with it. It made little sense as to why they were there.
I mean I can understand that it is parent’s weekend and the concert had to be appropriate for the parents, but not every student’s parent came to VSU this weekend, and not many of the parents were there.
The few students I saw there were only there to be with their parents and they looked a little bored. I did not really see any students there, just to be there. So the question is.. was that the greatest choice for a concert?
Personally, I don’t think so.
