#I was like 'um lady. I'm sorry but. he's actually kinda pissed off' lmao

Fans can be so funny sometimes. (Myself included.)

#decided to wade through a few comments on YT for Big Country's live performance of ''Fields of Fire'' on The Tube in 1984 #and some lady commented ''he (Stuart) looked so happy here'' and from seeing the beginning of the video #and also just listening to it (Bruce's guitar was not producing any sound! for most of the song) #I was like 'um lady. I'm sorry but. he's actually kinda pissed off' lmao #like idk. if he was happy it was when he could finally get off stage and get tf out of there with the sound/technical issues. #but nonetheless: I know what she meant. it's just...as fans we're so cute. we only see the good stuff that we want to see #and for bands/artists we're fans of we only ever want to see them happy and that their gigs are successful (all around) #which is lovely for us and all but also tbh pretty unrealistic. I think about this sometimes especially when I go to shows alone. #I don't know if I'm projecting but when I go to shows alone I often wonder how the artists feel. especially at...very very small shows. #and even though I've sung solos in front of people before when I was in school - I can't remember WHAT it was like/how it felt. #the experience of being an artist in front of people and sharing your art? fuck if I can recall. (except hahaha being terrified) #so now I just...wonder. and try to show my appreciation for the artists as best I can anyway...even when I'm shy and awkward. :/ #random rambling
