You guys. YOU GUYS. What is up with so few of you knowing about Big Time Rush?
Fact: If you are the parent of a 6-10 year old girl, Big Time Rush could very well be your new best friend. They play catchy boy band-esque music, but are squeaky clean and not annoying.
That "not annoying" thing is key. I like when bands make my kid go loopy, but I don't have to sacrifice any brain cells for the cause.
There were a whole lot of dads at the concert, including a guy right in front of us who clung to his beer for dear life and another dad who video-taped a lot of the show.
Which I think proves the "not annoying" bit.
Damn if Windows Down didn't somehow wiggle its way into my subconscious and become that catchy little tune I can use to chase Call Me Maybe out of my head.
There is a formula for music-themed TV shows for kids and Big Time Rush fits the formula perfectly. As a parent of a kid who worships the glowy box in our family room and who listens to music pretty much every minute of every day, I appreciate when that formula is done right. It makes my life easier.
Especially when the formula is met with guys who are a little bit too old to be my kids. I'M JUST SAYIN'.
Ahem.
Anyway, it was a good time, in no small part because Alexis loved every single second of the show.
