Just No Respect

OK, I'm not going to lie, last night I went to see Ashlee Simpson at the PNC Banks Arts Center in New Jersey. The reason I went there was because I purchased tickets for my girlfriend for our three year anniversary. I told her if she didn't have anyone to go with then I would go with her, and in the end I was the one chosen to go. I didn't really have a problem with going because I'm more or less willing to see any concert regardless of who unless it is some boy band or something. Now the opening act for Ashlee Simpson was Ashley Parker Angel and he pulled off the one major no no you don't do on tour. He walks out on stage and screams "What's Up Jones Beach!", keep in mind we are at the PNC Bank Arts Center, and not only does he do it once but later on he goes on to say something along the lines of Jones Beach hasn't changed since the last time I was here, it's just like I remember it. After the second time his guitarist slaps him on the shoulder and right before the end of his set he realized that he was in New Jersey not New York, he continued to apologize for awhile but I don't think that makes up for that huge disrespectful mistake. The fans didn't mind one bit for his mistake, not one boo or anything along those lines, they completely embraced him which I found a bit disappointing but I guess it is just that type of fan base. I figured this was worth posting, it is definitely reminiscent of a Spinal Tap moment although I don't think even they pulled that off in the movie. I guess while I'm talking about the show I will give a little overview of Ashlee Simpson's set. I was pretty surprised of how good of a show she put on, and I'm sure many of you are wondering, was she lip synching? I can't make an official comment on that but I'm pretty sure she wasn't. She played for about an hour and a half and went through a few costume changes which is something new for me because I have never been to a show where the singer actually had to go off stage several times to change their stage attire. The stage was designed very nicely with a somewhat gothic look with old fashioned lamp posts going up a set of steps. The best part of the show was her looks, she was looking very sexy on stage with her various outfits. In the end she sounded pretty good and I had a good time, I guess I don't think her music is all that bad.
