If you think those long haired louts, the Rolling Stones, are a threat to society, flash mobs might seem shockingly new...and a modern concept.

...and the thing that is very relevant to this thread, when they were modern, new, and literally had thousands of people taking part in them...THEY DIDN'T COST A PENNY TO STAGE!
Which to some I suppose sounds an old fashioned concept. No wonga being paid to anyone else to produce them.
How quaint.
