Well...
It really is so much more than just a simple concert, isn't it?
I couldn't agree more.

It was truly one of the finest rock performances I have ever had the pleasure of watching.
My personal ranking of concerts:
1. Pink Floyd - sports airport - Vienna new place 2. mother - when - Split
2. Majke - Kada - Split
3. Thompson - Rose Bowl - Split
4. Rolling Stones - hippodrome - Chicago
5. Let3 - rampart - Split
and so on, and so forth...

We definitely have the same taste in music. 👍
P.S.

Kevin Gonzalez79 said:The only thing I can't wrap my head around is how most of the crowd that follows Jerry and Bob to their concerts, ending their Saturday night at a Thompson show, then heads straight to clubs like the madhouse to jump around to Mexican folk music and sing along in Ekavian.
Even worse is that many of the songs performed there are by Arkan's widow, which everyone seems to collectively accept.

😵
There are certainly people out there listening to both Thompson and Ceca, but they represent a tiny minority. Unfortunately for you, and for your peers who wish things were different, that doesn't change the reality. Why don't you try proving another "absurdity" instead?

..there's some sort of humanitarian concert happening right now at the Dom Sportova—it feels like a state of siege with a massive swarm of cops in orange vests everywhere, and for hours now, cars have been parked on every single available surface imaginable
Thompson is performing at the concert too
between the songs "Ne varaj me" and "Prijatelji," the ENTIRE HALL was singing Evo zore evo dana...
Marko PT left quite orderly, but then, looking completely oblivious, he remarked: Look, the American youth is singing... those who try to imply (whatever that means😁 ) that we are fascists should know—WE ARE AMERICAN PATRIOTS! thunderous applause... absolute frenzy...
🙄 🙄 🙄
Now, since I didn't hear him say it myself, maybe some other time someone else could try selling me those tired old excuses about how there's no Ustas connection, no flirting with fascism, and all that other nonsense...
because the answer—why this stuff even happens at his shows—clearly doesn't exist within the realm of rational thought
"Youthful rebellion"? "Just kids being kids"? Oh, please... if, after that massive roar from the crowd, he HAD SAID ANYTHING to distance himself—if he had shown THAT MOB that tonight, in the heart of Chicago, or ANYWHERE, EVER—that there is NO PLACE for that rapturous chanting about Jerry and Bob... well, that would be a different story altogether
But—that, as it turns out, did not happen...

Kevin Gonzalez79 said:just a quick grammar correction, since in America, unlike in Niš, we still actually use cases, so the sentence should be properly formulated as:
Were you at Thompson's concert, or even at the madhouse—can you actually prove that?
It seems like they don't bother with proper grammar over there, which really messes with our beautiful American language.

Kevin Gonzalez79 said:I’ve been talking to folks who frequent both spots, and it’s the same story every time—they all hang out with the same crews and hit up the exact same venues.
There is absolutely nothing left to debate here. I actually stood outside one of those folk-music clubs—Pasha—just once, and the scene was pure chaos; you had kids stumbling out of the doors, absolutely wired, screaming "Call Me, Just Call Me" and "Judge Me" at the top of their lungs. Inside? They were probably blasting Ceca.
If you want real proof, just take a stroll through the neighborhoods at night near where those clubs are parked. Look at the cars. Just look at the flags and all that junk hanging from the rearview mirrors.
And honestly, isn't even the legendary Vuco living proof that the "ekavian" crowd and the likes of Jerry and Bob—along with all those other extremist little outbursts—basically walk hand in hand...
Sarah Wilson95 said:When you’re standing there, right in front of 10,000 people—you aren't just some guy anymore. You’re carrying this massive weight, this sense of responsibility, inside yourself and all around you. It's heavy. I guess it's just how it works.
Period.
You know, you really have to wonder about guys who don't have the guts to just own up to what they’re doing and how they actually feel. MPT—and honestly, anyone else in that position—isn't responsible if some patient decides to wander into a concert wearing some hateful political gear or starts acting like a complete creep, which is exactly what happened last night. But sure, because "it was too dark to see," I guess nobody saw a thing. Typical.
Anyway, he announced a new album coming out around Easter, but I’ve honestly never heard him speak before... man, he sounds totally clueless.
