Never a university known for perfect town-gown relationships, the behavior of Duke students on LDOC seems reason enough to sour those feelings more, even if the students tend to remain on campus. So it's funny to read various blogs that covered this year's last day of class festivities. From the Indy Week's Scan:
One student, hoisted onto her boyfriend’s shoulders, grew impatient with the newer material, with which Folds led the show. After telling her beau that the view was great, but meant she couldn’t finish her beer, she told Folds to “play something good, asshole.” For the diehard Folds fans—and those old enough to have watched MTV in the ’90s—it meant singing along to “Brick,” “Still Fighting It” and “Army” (during which, Folds broke a string … a piano string), occasionally yelling with ecstasy, and swaying back and forth, arms around your fellow man. Again, a lot of hugging.
And the less funny post from Triangle Music Blog:
By the end of the night, the campus was wrecked and everyone wandered home and hopefully stayed out of trouble.
