Live Metal
As I entered the massive Madison Square Garden, I found myself amidst a giggling gaggle of girls, many with their moms. Countless numbers of them were dressed in their best animal print spandex outfits from the local K-Mart or Sears. Checking my wristwatch, I saw that it was 8:03.

As I entered the massive Madison Square Garden, I found myself amidst a giggling gaggle of girls, many with their moms. Countless numbers of them were dressed in their best animal print spandex outfits from the local K-Mart or Sears. Checking my wristwatch, I saw that it was 8:03. Showtime on the tickets was listed at 8:00 p.m. I could hear the sounds of live music coming from the stage already as my companion and I were busy trying to find our way to our seats. Winding our way through the cavernous hallways, we found ourselves walking in the “slow” lane. Directly in front of us were two girls dressed in miniskirts, fishnet stockings which were almost bursting at the back seams, and tight tank tops. It was a sure bet these girls couldn’t pass the “pinchan-inch” test and the outfits painfully showed this. Rather than looking like sexy metal vixens, they resembled fledglings who had not yet outgrown their baby fat. They also looked like 50 percent of the females in the audience.
