Just wondering how these insulated punters would have reacted to a concert from "dirty folk rock" performer Jessica Delfino. I review I've just read describes her as "best known for her quirky tunes about female genitalia", but her themes also deal with becoming famous, hating everyone around and a "delightfully weird" countering of the US Catholic League.

Obviously, everything associated with living is political. Were they expecting Puff The Magic Dragon, someone asks. That too, deals with political issues important to some . . . like cruelty to mythical species and discrimination against Class C drug users.

If you"don't like" politics, don't go to arts events. Indeed, you may as well stop living.
