Thread Name: When the Audience Misbehaves
Subject: RE: When the Audience Misbehaves
Get used to it the best you can. We live in a child-centered world now---they're allowed to interrupt adult conversations, they're supposed to be seen and heard at all times, their esteem has been elevated above all else, and in keeping with this SELF magazine culture, any expression of themselves is viewed as cute and wonderful while any comments to the negative about that are seen as intolerant or uptight. Because of kids in the audience, I now catch most of my music in Las Vegas where kids aren't allowed, or listen to CDs in my house, a gloriously quiet kid-free zone.
