I attended my first concert in a kayak last week.
I swear the fluid pooling in the kayak is from the river and not the inevitable result of a long concert. I was part of a floatilla of freeloaders who watched John Fogerty play his hits from his Creedence Clearwater Revival days and his solo career, like this one.
It was a beautiful night to see a concert for free and save 60 bucks, but it led me to consider this ethical conundrum.
When I saw Fogerty was coming to the area to play a venue just 20 minutes away, I knew I would be seeing him. I loved CCR as a young lad. This was the first tour by Fogerty in decades after recently regaining control of his CCR songs. He was visibly joyful to play his CCR hits again. So, shouldn’t I have supported his tour and bought a ticket? Instead, I kayaked offshore and stole a seat to the show.
Am I a bad guy?
