.....pickin on my newspaper....mutter mutter....
An hour was nothing out of my life. Twenty minutes, even less. And it was a bloody nice concert, even if I didn't sing my best. I don't understand what the problem is. I am not going to stand up and tell someone else why they should believe in something, why I'm right. I would expect someone walking out of a concert to be either having a rubbish time as far as the music is concerned or against the cause wholesale: I saw the audience as a show of numbers for a cause, not as an audience in this context. That's the way I work. It said nowhere in the programme that it was a lecture. On the other hand, there was lots of information around the immediate location and elsewhere and a small speech less than halfway through, and a load of good music.
I'm sorry you didn't get it Steve, we totally failed you. Without irony. Please let us know how we can get through to people like yourself in the future.
