I agree,dirty fighting,like hitting below the waist in boxing.

How do YOU know the baby wasn't using earplugs ??? Also. I've inhaled a lot more fumes at a Phish concert than you'll ever inhale at an AC/DC concert. Besides that, its none of YOUR damn business what they do .

Well, I'm not being sarcastic, but I don't think you've been to many rock/metal concerts if you think it was ok for that baby to be there. I've been to only about 6 and one of them I had ringing in my ears for 2 days. I'm not afraid to say, it scared the hell out of me. I would lay there at night with the room quiet and that ringing just would not stop. It finally did, but like I said, it took 2 days. Could you imagine what would happen to that baby's ears?

Funny that the group was AC/DC. My cousin went to an AC/DC concert back in the 80's in Philly. During the song "For Those About To Rock", they fire the cannons. There was a lawsuit after that concert that anybody in the first 2 rows could get in on. Apparently it was so loud that something like 80+% of the first 2 rows had hearing damage.

Now I'm not putting down AC/DC, I've been to several concerts, they're all loud. I wear ear plugs now...

In a rational world, they would get 48 cents change.

" Late term abortion is legal, but a couple taking their baby with them,to a AC/DC concert is illegal. The nuts are running the assylum."

. . .this baby has nothing to do with the abortion debate; these parents are at best, inmature and selfish; at worst negligent and stupid.

IIRC, AC/DC bested The Who in the Guinness Book of World Records for the title of "Loudest Rock Concert" --a record that The Who held for quite some time.
