Went to the Wis Khalifa concert on Monday night in Iowa City and i would definitely have to say it was like nothing else ive ever been apart of. I thought that the union and Wiz did a great job with the concert other than a few little things like letting people in and seating. The concert was amazing but that wasnt all there was. The Union Bar was pretty much a marijuana convention on Monday night. Almost every single person in the building was smoking pot and no security said one thing about it. Cops walked through and just minded there own business not saying a word to anyone. Wiz Khalifa was even smoking on stage! If you passed your joint to the guy next to you i would swear someone would pass three back your way! it was quite insane to say the least, not sure how they let this all fly in a public convention. One of the coolest things i have ever seen for sure! Paper Planes:)

How does this connect to our Popular Culture class?
ReplyDeleteI would say this relates to our class in quite a few ways. Wiz khalifa has become a huge figure in the media through his music and powerful lyrics. I think the concert showed a lot about the way much of the youth is relating to the music he has been putting out and their reactions to it.. The concert definitely taught me quite a few things about what is going on in our youths culture.
ReplyDeleteIf those things are true, then you need to make them clear in your posting. In the original posting, it appears that you are celebrating the free access to marijuana more than anything else. Is this the total of the "youth culture" you mention in your comment, or is there something deeper that you can discuss?
