I was there in Fresno, California at an AC/DC show and the best part besides seeing the band live was taking my then 20 year old son. So many people saw AC/DC during their last tour and my son was one of them. I have two sons and one is serving in the military and could not go. My youngest son was just hanging out having a good time with the girls and I asked if he wanted to see AC/DC with me. He didn't think twice, he said; hell yeah. I was missing some cd's so I went to buy a couple new AC/DC cd's for the 3 hour drive from my home town to the show. I ended up buying 6 of AC/DC that I found. They are now worn out and ripped to mp3 files but the original cd's were all played along the way. Then we were at the venue and saw the masses coming in to the area from all directions. They all looked normal enough, young and old, male and female all walking toward the arena. It was just getting to be sunset and the darkness was falling on us as we waited in line to have our turn showing a ticket and getting it scanned. That moment was the final moment between us and AC/DC. We all knew as our ticket was scanned that we were about to enter a room filled with thousands of voices ready to scream at the top of our lungs for our favorite band to come out and play our favorite songs. I watched my son move through the crowd not at all feeling out of place, he seemed to feel welcomed and not at all nervous. It is like when you go to a friends party, everyone else was there for the same reason and it is a comfortable environment. This event had among other things, one instance that was a funny moment and that was as I was in line outside there was a guy holding a sign with writing that said we all were going to burn in hell. I got a kick out of that, I'm a christian and I love AC/DC and have not a single feeling of being conflicted at all. The sign was a way to warn us. I get it, we are going to burn in hell, okay now lets move on to the music. Not a shred of guilt passed through my body and rightly so. For Jesus himself said in the bible quote; it is easier for a sinner to enter the Kingdom of God than a righteous (preacher) man. I like that a lot. I'm going in - to Sin City. The photo is of my son in the car on the way to the show. He's crazy like his father. I'm so proud.
