OK, I'm officially old--I have never heard of any of these bands.

You aren't the only one.

"A lot of bands are here to further their careers," he continued, "and that's not going to happen. You think a band goes on the Warped Tour and suddenly they get big? It's going to happen to somebody, but it doesn't make your career. There are 100 bands on the tour — with so many choices, the only people who are going to watch you are the people who [already] like you."

So why tour on a mammoth show getting paid peanuts for someone else's enterprise and giving the crowd only a 25 minute set?

Screw the Vans Warped Tour (and Fat Mike's record label) and tour independently.

You're not old. The bands suck. That's why you haven't heard of them.

Welcome to the old farts club.

Here are your "Tune that music down" and "You call that music? In my day we had real music" buttons. The handout has all the ways to use the helpful phrases "Kids these days..." and "When I was your age..."

Welcome to old fartdom!

I have never even heard of "The Warped Tour" Guess it is time to dig out the shaw and knitting needles and yell at those kid on the lawn.
