editor's note //
Growing up, I never much liked crowds.
I was very much my slightly agoraphobic mother's child — anxious, timid, afraid of being touched, dreadful of ever being noticed. Malls made me squirm. The roller rink on field-trip day gave me fits. I would've rather stayed home.
I always wanted to be able to perform like my beauty queen aunt, who waited tables between soap opera bit parts in California, but my mother and L. it seemed, had inherited all of our family's ambition, but none of its joy. We'd been left with all the practicality of life, and none of the art. Around my house, it was only my grandmother, with her classic country records and early-evening gin and tonics, who knew how to dance.
During my first year at the University, after
moving out, beginning to keep my room messy and throwing caution to the wind. I applied to be a DJ with the campus radio station on a whim. And so began my love affair with noise.
Part of growing into my own skin and beginning to let go and enjoy my college experience became intertwined with music and, especially after I turned 21 and was allowed into more venues, with live music.
Last week, I attended indie legend Yo La Tengo's show at the Granada. After working on Japlay nearly all day, I was tired, cranky, entirely uninterested in dealing with the walk in the cold, the withdrawal of cash, and especially not with the throngs of people I knew would be there.
But I also knew it was going to be a great show, knew I'd regret missing it, so I forced myself there, knowing I'd enjoy it once there. And then, during the band's energetic rendition of a cover of a band called The Clean, something struck me — the enjoyment I was getting from the show didn't just stem from the energy of the band, the reason the show was so good stemmed from the energy of the crowd. Everyone at the Granada that night, it seemed, fed off each other; each one of us was individual, but we become
one in that we experienced something made better by being together. In the moment, I couldn't be happier than to be a small part of big, formerly scary crowd.
Check out Kansan photographer Chance Dibben's photo essay on the concert on page 8 to get a visual sense of the experience. Concerts may not be exactly your thing, but chances are you've had at least one moving collective experience.
As for me, I still can't dance very well, but I've come closer to finding my joy.
