My theory is, well... several thoughts on this one being marketing has convinced the the more you spend on the ring the more you love your women (not saying that is true). I I also like the "mark your territory"... theory... don't want to sound sexist but likely that is why the woman puts a ring on a man.
Then there is the good old conspicuous consumption theory.
Her: "look how much my man spent on me!"
Him: "look at how much I can spend on a ring!"

As far as the mosh pit, I think it started as a punk rock thing that has migrated to more mainstream rock?

And yes, nothing bothers me more that a jerk in front of me holding up his/her phone distracting me from enjoying the concert. Any band out there most likely has DVD's of their concerts you can buy the are one hundred times better audio/video quality. I think it is more of a social media thing "look at me, I'm at this way cool concert!"

Now get off my lawn!
