Pluto in Capricorn at a Concert Theater

I attended a Neil Young concert at the brand new, gleaming, post-modern, purple neon-accented Nokia Theater, which opened last month in downtown Los Angeles. I’ll post an astrological concert review very soon, but was struck with a couple of Pluto in Capricorn observations about the venue:

It’s named after a cell phone company. One huge wall inside the theater lobby displayed different models of Nokia phones. It was like walking into a very large mobile phone store. Corporations are taking over the world. I know this is not exactly breaking news, but I was struck with how in-your-face it’s become.

The security was very tight. I’ve been to plenty of concerts, but nothing ever approached the security we experienced at this theater. To enter, everyone had to walk through brand new airport-style metal detectors, then submit to a pat-down, purse search (and did they ever search, emptying out all the contents), jacket search, backpack search…It was like the theater was being run by the government TSA. The employees working at the security entrances even had on TSA-style uniforms (although I am sure they must have been Nokia Theater uniforms). Mind you, we were all going inside to see the fanatical zealot who wrote “Harvest Moon” and “Sugar Mountain” (and, incidentally, recorded a recent song titled “Let’s Impeach the President”…hmmmm). You can call it security PR, political manipulation that still has everyone freaked out, or a necessary reality of our 21st Century world, but one thing’s for sure:

The times they have changed. The world of Pluto in Capricorn is going to be different.
