Natalie Merchant really hates people using electronics.

At her show Saturday night in Fort Collins she “collected” an iphone from a person recording during the show. She had fun with it but the intent was clear and when she returned it she suggested a delete.

I love her attitude since I find all the flashes and light distracting. I really like to just absorb the show. I don’t need to share it or keep a shitty recording for posterity.

But I know that Natalie is fighting a losing battle.

Wait until everyone is wearing Google Glass and recording while they watch without doing anything. At least it won’t be as much of a distraction.
