Hello all. I'm the elderly gentleman from the article. I'd have to say I was more perplexed than offended by the couple of lazy, pointed questions that the author of this article spent less than a minute preparing. I'm also not offended by being perceived as elderly. At the ripe old age of 47 I'm sure that college students still think that anyone over 40 is ancient. While I cannot speak to the authors experience, as it is his, I don't know what concert he went to. Even though the Newport Music Hall is a real dump, and had a terrible sound system, my wife and I still enjoyed the show in spite of this, and the few drunk college kids, who like the author think everything is a joke. Ramsey is incredibly talented. You could tell even with the subpar sound that he has an amazing voice and vas very well rehearsed and professional. Amazing for someone his age who hasn't been doing this very long. The crowd was about the size you'd expect for a relatively unknown artist, but there we some small children there with their parents which was kind of surprising. What was also surprising to me was that everyone seem to know the music, all the music, and were genuinely enthusiastic about it. I didn't expect that kind of appreciation of traditional country music in such a young crowd. There was nothing ironic about anything at his show, including the prayer which was sincere and not attention seeking or overly dramatic. I though was a nice touch. The only meme here is another ignorant young liberal injecting his bigotry into something he doesn't care for or know anything about.
