Common sense required at door

These past few days have seen more than a few people complain about either the admittance procedure or the entertainment content of performances at the Everett Events Center.

Common sense dictates a no re-entry policy. Either you’re in or you’re out. First, you cannot smoke in or within 25 feet of a public building. I wonder if the group complaining about re-entry after a smoke was 25 feet away, which would put them in the middle of Hewitt Avenue.

Another person attended the Guns &Roses concert. Excuse me, but what did they expect? Scantily clad women have been a part of rock and roll since its inception. Look at Brittany Spears and all the 12-year-old girls that go to her bump and grind extravaganzas with their mommy’s permission!

Next time, take your diapers, leave your smokes in the car and when at a rock show, don’t expect American Idol.
