The Mahavishnu Orchestra Cover Band Sold Out, So We Saw This Act Instead...

Paris-Facebook, Travel and Leisure
On Friday night while sitting behind corporate monitors, Uncle Chucky texted me that a Mahavishu Orchestra cover band was playing locally Saturday night and asked if I was interested in attending. I stated, yes.

By Saturday afternoon I realized Saint Chuckles had not purchased tickets and (rightly) attended a wedding in Vancouver Saturday afternoon and by the time he texted me to check for ticket availability they were sold out.

I was in the middle of homecaring and shopping duties on the road in my vehicle.

A blessing here is that Chucky did not risk another incident with security officers because he would not sit by a 'fat guy' or like as occurred at the 2013 Rush show when he moved by his own limited free will out of his seat beside me and oh so wisely stood in a concrete stairway where he was then yelled at by a tatted guy to sit down.

Chuck was then seat relocated by Rogers Arena security.

Philosophically and ethically, as this is a philosophy blog, in part, in hindsight, Saint Chuck had better options than autonomously with his libertarian, 'Christian anarchism' views seeking his own 'fat free' view of the show.

He could have looked up, way up and saw several empty seats where he could have moved to. To be fair the conditions were dark and he wears glasses, but so do I, and I could view the empty seats.

He could have asked Rogers Arena security for another seat with more room. He was eventually relocated by 'force', or at least strong request, he could have been relocated without 'force' or at least strong request.

By the end of night after his relocation, he moved again by his own limited free will and he was sitting closer to me, but on the other side from where 'fat guy' was seated.

Now ironically, I now work in corporate security and that night at Rogers Arena, one of our friends, in particular Chuck's friend was security for Rush, backstage.

Well-done, Pope Chucklins, well-done.

Would Menno Simons roll in his grave?

Oh well, you are Reformed now anyway...

Philosophically, my choice was to use the shenanigans as an opportunity to post the entire event life in Satire And Theology comments.

Chuck and I were soon anonymously lovingly, satirically 'told off' more than once by what I view as someone from my fan club in Satire And Theology comments.

In regard to Saturday night, therefore, we attended another musical extravaganza from Mr. Bobby Buff, this time we bootlegged the performance, showed in part, with commentary on progressive rock and jazz fusion tracks we wish Mr. Buff would play and for some reason Chucky wanted to discuss Satire and Theology blogging legend and musical legend, Tom Jones...
