The power of pop

I'm not a regular at "big pop gigs", unlike Alexis Petridis, who has attended many arena shows both as the father of pre-teen girls and in his  role as a music critic for the Guardian. His piece on the significance of such shows as an empowering and enthusing experience - a significance that he admits his daughters rather professional experience have taught him - is without a doubt the best response to the Manchester Arena attack that I've come across.
