Not that it means anything

But my daughter (16) is a smart cookie.

Last night as the video of the Vegas massacre is shown again on the news, there is one where right before a round of gunfire starts huge stage lights above the stage come on and illuminate the crowd. Out loud I said "wonder what genius thought it was a good idea to turn those lights on?"

My daughter came out of her room and said he was probably singing "lights come on"

I asked her how she knew that? She has been to see him twice and said during that song at a certain point a light lights up the crowd. She then said the lights are probably in some way synchronized with the music to come on. Them running off stage the automatic lights probably were still on?

Now I have no idea what he was singing but shows my daughter pays attention to things even though sometimes I think she's not 😀

"He'll SEE people! My god, if we just turn off the lights, and ONLY have 90 decibel music playing, NO ONE will be the wiser,
and we can pack 20,000 people in a very small area and get away with it!"

Seriously. If someone wants to shoot up a pack of people from a quarter mile away and they have enough time to plan it, lights won't mean anything.

If something interested him he would practically become an expert in it. And his insights into human psychology were always impressive to me.
