I was watching a show this week in a coffee shop / lounge setting – some folk-y, rock-y kind of music – and after a while I started to watch one particular guy more than the band. As the show went on, he was getting more and more excited. He started smiling and tapping his foot, then bouncing his leg and bobbing his head, and after a while this guy just gets up a starts dancing…like a FOOL! (Remember this isn’t a rock show; we’re in a coffee shop.) The band takes note, and starts catering to this guy a bit, and the singer dances with him some. I thought this was awesome, but I look around at the rest of the room and everyone is staring at this guy like he has lost. his. marbles.
I was a little irritated at the time, but the more I thought about it, the more angry I got. If you look back a few days, you’ll even see a post from my Twitter that says “He enjoyed the show more than you.” That was about this guy. The situation made me think of David and Michal from 2 Samuel 6.
