Thrice more with feeling

Both nights were hot as balls. Heat—especially at extreme temperatures—does crazy things. It can melt plastic, cause shiny sticky faces to suck down cold cans of Tecate and Lone Star beers, and it might even alter the physical properties of sound waves. Alright, the last point isn’t accurate. Temperature has no effect on the propagation of sound waves whatsoever. However, the humidity that pressed down like a warm wet rag felt like it was thick enough to slow down waves emanating from the stage. Even poppier songs like Cherry Bomb sounded limp and faint like they too were suffering from heat exhaustion.
