Aww, poor Dade! Ear infections suck. At least my boys are very good about taking medicine, so I don't have to fight with them.

I think it depends more on the venue and the seating rather than the type of music. I've been to a few concerts that were just open floor & you stand whereever you can squeeze into a spot. I dunno, apparently I'm just a redneck and don't know any better.
