Hey, I feel like a dog. Do you??

My girlfriend is hearing and enjoy going to concerts. We were talking about concerts one night on AIM. I was telling my girlfriend that I felt like a dog sometimes. Here is why:

You can give your dog a $10 or a $30 steak. It won't matter. Your dog won't know the difference. Your dog will just eat the steak regardless.

Now, for concerts, you can get me a $10 or a $100 ticket. It won't matter. I won't understand a word. I'll just feel the beat of music. That is it. So does it make a difference whether you spend $10 or $100 on a concert ticket?

I hope you understand my analogy.

Simple, don't go.

If you really want to go, you can ask concert to see if they provide the interpreters, or give you a discount because you can't hear their words. Most festivals, Six Flags, movie theaters (w/o cc) tend to provide discounts.
