Andiamo dove vanno altri 50.000 perché a quel concerto vogliamo esserci, sopportiamo di non vedere e sentire bene, ma all’evento non rinunciamo, costi quel che costi. Cerchiamo lo spettacolone, desideriamo essere intrattenuti, vogliamo tour portati in giro da decine di tir, centinaia di addetti ai lavori, città ambulanti, palchi alti come palazzi. Ci lamentiamo di aver pagato 150 euro per il prato, ma a vedere il concerto da 30 euro non ci andiamo.
