While the student was not going very fast, estimated between 20 and 25 miles per hour, the impact was enough to trigger the car's airbag and damage the car exten- sively. The student was notinjured and the car was towed away with no further complications.

The lead singer ran up and performance. The two guitar players were having fun produced a somewhat rough sound that appealed to the audience. This band is just a bunch of guys doing what they love for a living, and they like to play it loud, while preserving a coherent melody and offering reflec- tive lyrics to the listener. There is not much pretense in this band. They just come, out and play well. They also performed the hit "De- cember," on which Roland again asked the audience to sing along. Lead guitarist Ross Childress was absent when they played an older song, which Roland ex- plained had been originally written back in the days when Collective Soul had a different name, which nobody had ever heard of. Following that song, which had a more spare, minimalist sound, the band broke into their current single, which is more of a slow song, almost a ballad, than anything they have released in the past. .. I admit, I went to this concert with some false assumptions. I thought Col- lective Soul was another sort of banal, Hootie-type band: nothing really wrong with them, but their music just was not that interesting. However, the honest energy of the show proved me wrong, as did the unique style of the songs when heard as they ought to be heard: live. It is wonderful to see a band that appreciates the admiration of audience, even welcomes it, while at the same time obviously enjoying themselves. A lot of bands do not look like they are having much fun on stage; it is cooler to act as if You are flO t a IHOOCil. But when you do not care.
