Why should an audience sit quietly for a classical concert so everyone can hear, and whoop and holler at a BG concert, keeping me from hearing. If one singer or instrumentalist does something...

"get over it", one of my all-time favorite phrases. Thank you for that, tells me all I want to know about the author.
