At a Swans concert I was at Michael Gira tried to do some acoustic stuff and people were so noisy it was like a fraternity party before a football game. He called the audience '****ing idiots' and left the stage in a huff. I can't stand it people even whisper between movements at the symphony. And it ticks my wife off even more than me. It's hard for me to understand why it's so hard for people to be quiet. Don't they ever get sick of themselves? If they want to chat why don't they just go to a regular bar or out to coffee or whatever. I appreciate how Mingus and Art Blakey really tried to keep the audience quiet. If I had ever gotten the chance to see one of those jazz greats I would have hated to be distracted by some idiot's banter.
