It's not that he didn't like the show, but...
"I find Beyonce a great show woman, very attractive. Her music? Eh, fine, but not my style, the Greece native said. "I listen to '50s, '60s, '70s, and a lot of Greek music.
We were dying to know just what book it was that was so interesting it took his attention away from Queen Bey.
Papageorgiou said it was Danube Pilot by Jules Verne, in Greek. His parents bought him the book 53 years ago in Cairo when he was just 13 years old.
He's read it seven or eight times - including during a Beyonce concert.
"I love it - probably not another book that's influenced my love for geography as much as this book," he explained. "It's about a trip from Georgia and the caucuses all the way to Beijing, China with a whole bunch of adventures in-between, so it's an exciting book."
Papageorgiou is amused by all the attention he's getting in social media.
"I get this message on my iPhone saying 'It's hilarious, you're in the news for reading a book at the Beyonce concert.' It didn't sink in till I started getting phone calls or my wife and stuff saying the news is calling they want to interview you and I'm like 'What about?'" said Papageorgiou.

>Nobody says anything about everyone browsing on your phone or being obnoxious with them at social events
>OH NO SOMEONE HAS A BOOK
I find the hypocrisy unbelievable

I've stopped going to most larger concerts because unless I'm in the front row I'll end up watching the whole thing from the fucking phones held up in front of me.

To film a concert?
It's most likely because they want to share the video with their friends on snapchat/instagram, or they're actually delusional enough to think that they're going to watch it themselves later on.

dude's a hero
Beyoncé is an android manufactured by capitalist reptilians to feed women messages of empowerment while keeping them docile consumers. Good job greekbro, only through education can we overcome their tricks (that's why a humanities education has become le waste of time and our youth are only encouraged to select 'practical' studies, more reptilian tricks)

>This is news in America
Just let Trump fix everything already.

greeks reaffirming democracy and now education

Not like girls attend those shows anyway

>caucuses
i thought journalists needed at least some basic education, but i guess i was wrong

I saw a plenty when I saw Deafheaven a few months ago, but most were a too heavily tattooed and pierced to be typical Pitchfork bitches.

This honestly seems like it should be an article on the Onion.
He was probably just another racist Greek desu. Beyonce's new album is a solid 85% of a possible 10 whole merits.
Has anyone read the Jules Verne book based off the manuscript that was found years after his death?

>unironically listening to popular music
>>8006210
Yeah I can see that. Newer bands with a lot of buzz tend to attract more diverse crowds, but at shows for old school bands the crowds are heavily male dominated

I'm sad this news story came from my state. I really hope they're not trying to make us a mockery like Florida... Next thing you know there are gonna be annoying ass reddit memes about North Carolina and I can never get through a conversation without someone talking about men who dress in drag and pretend to be women that can't enter the women's bathroom.
Also thanks for the description of what he was reading. I never read any Verne and now I'm going to add it to my backlog.
>>8006379
The North Carolinan bacons at midnight, fren. XDXD
>>8006389
warhlbagal or whatever redditors do. i don't know what they consider memes anymore. they still do the whole image with text on it for every mundane thing possible?

"entertainment" news. I bet you could find similar examples in your countries paper. America has over 300,000,000 people, you could generalize it to make it seem anyway you want.
there could be worse than beyonce as far as pop music goes. her fans are insufferable though

>he feels compelled to defend his country over the dumbest shit
you sorry little rube
>>8006186
Oh, stop overreacting. This is just a dumb news story used to fill airtime with a cute old couple.

Wasn't an Amerifat the one reading the book? Where you from, senpai?
