Lighters doused at concerts in favor of handhelds; keep the flame alive

Rock_me I'm sure to show my age here, but have to share. Barb and I attended a concert on Saturday evening and officially saw the death of the flame lighter at these venues. About halfway through the concert, Keith Urban had all of the lights go down and invited the audience to participate in "the cell phone wave". Everyone was encouraged to open their phone to make it light up and then we all did the wave all around the Wachovia Center. I noticed that the iPhone was the brightest as I almost blinded Barb by turning the brightness up.

For old-schoolers that don't want to see the flame die out, point your phone's browser to http://rocklighter.com for an animated flame on the phone. Rock on my friends, rock on.
