Once, a long time ago, I was paid $50.00 to ride a Greyhound to and from the CHELSEA HOUSE FOLK FESTIVAL in Brattleboro, Vermont--from Chicago. I had fun anyhow but wasn't surprised when that organization did, finally, close it's doors. A famous guitarist there (sometimes known as Blind Joe Death)came out on stage to an audience who cheered as he came out. He sat down, the audience quieted and waited in total silence for him to start his finger picking show. Hw waited for about 10 minutes in total silence and then screamed into the mike, "SHUT THE F*** UP!!!" The audience was amazed but still polite--mostly from shock I've always thought. Only then did he do his show.

If that wasn't acting badly, tell me, what is???
