DC Editorial: It's all about the fans, man

Whether one is an avid concert-goer or simply likes to attend the economically-priced Brandeis show, it is easy to assume that one would prefer his or her concert-going experience to be fun and entertaining. One attends these shows to watch an artist perform music he or she is passionate about. Also, as a fan, one wants to be appreciated. It's up to the fan to purchase music legally and to pay to attend these concerts. At the end of the day, the power really does lie with the fans.
