"having fun as a priority is a waste"

Conrad, what in bloody blue blazes do you think is the primary reason anyone,anywhere, has ever sung, or listened to, folk or any other genre of music?

I actually do think I have known of people who have attended, and listened to, opera because they felt that doing so made them elite, and would impress others with their elitism. But I'm quite certain that they are a small aberrant minority among opera fans.

You have come out in favor of drinking alcohol by the gallon during music performances. Do you feel that people should do this for the sake of tradition, even though they don't enjoy it?
