Glad to hear that audiences aren't that way all across the world. I, of course, wouldn't know. I speak from the limited vantage point of a (frustrated) small-town Midwestern American; I have had very little experience with knowledgable audiences. Hence I am glad to hear that not everyone succumbs to so-called "bad behavior". Complaining about concertgoers' shenanigans is a delicate, difficult balance between being too fussy or prissy and upholding our precious standards... But for those of us who go to concerts for the music, it is amazing how much an audience can add to or detract from our enjoyment of a performance.
I selected yes under "do you wish to allow readers to submit public comments to your blog". Hopefully this will enable you to comment away.
