My problem with front row at the Friedman is not the height of the stage, but rather how little space there is between the seats and the stage. If you're sitting in the front row, you're so close that your chin practically rests on the stage floor. I ended up with front row seats for Fool For Love and felt that I couldn't appreciate the full stage picture because I was just too close.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."
