About a month or so ago, I was talked into going to a charity fundraising concert that was hosted by the Chapman University Adelpho's. I don't normally go to fraternity or sorority events, because in all honesty, I don't really believe in the concept of organized friendship/brotherhood/sisterhood. But a friend of mine was putting the event on for wounded Vets so I decided to show up to see what it was all about. They actually did a good job with organizing the event. They had a line up and list - and though the show was running late - like most do - it was actually really nice. Some of the talent performing that evening were Chapman students. One in particular stood out to me. I think mainly because she wrote her own music and lyrics - no cover songs. They were so relatable and she was incredibly unapologetic about the song lyrics. She didn't care what people thought of them and I really liked that. I suppose it's because so much of what she was singing about can be relatable- whether you are a male or female.
I didn't stay very long. Just long enough to see a few acts. The act after was a heavy metal band. I am not a huge fan of screamo music - mainly because I can't understand what they are saying and why anyone would want to hurt themselves by getting in the middle of a most-pit, but the overall sound quality of the performance was great. I suppose it didn't hurt that one of the kids' parents was in the back rocking out and having the time of her life.
