Discussion: The Oneonta Theater, and upcoming shows.

I saw John Mayall last night. He rocked. But the show got me thinking, and I want to open a discussion to see what you, the listeners, think.

Well, I noticed that most of the crowd last night was mainly composed of people over 40. Rock and Roll lovers of the '60s and '70s. So I'm curious if the theater will aim more toward the older crowd when they book shows?

I ask because I don't know, not because I believe this is what they will do. I've been to a few shows at the theater, but this one was the most successful I've seen. Are we, the college community, the minority? Or are we too lazy to go to shows?

I'll start the discussion... I don't think the theater will ignore the college community. We're too big to ignore, and we have money. But do I think they will book more shows aimed at previous generations? Are they already doing that? Are we college kids lazy, or just poor? Are we a minority? I don't know. That's what I want to find out.
