I have a devil of a time getting the audience at my students concert to be quiet and I'm not just talking about the kids themselves. Even worse however is going to the Hobby Center of Jones Hall and having people carry on conversations with no consideration for those around them. People are so used to watching things in their home where they can talk whenever they want that it has spilled into places where they shouldn't be talking whenever they want. The fact that it has spilled all the way over to rock and roll is telling to me. Sad to say I think it is a shift in society.

I just wish the audiences would behave more appropriately based on the music. If the band is ear-splitting, then chatter away, but when it's more of low volume or acoustic thing - shut up! I didn't pay a cover charge to hear the audience chit chat. Since a lot of the artists I like play at a low volume, this is a real pet peeve of mine.
