See, now I think that as HIGH maintenance we all are when it comes to music
(cause that is why we listen to IDM, at least I do), you would think we
would try to learn how to overcome that. Use your own imagination, be
creative, I see nothing wrong with a performer expecting the audience to do
that. Performances long ago use to consist of just a person standing in
front of an audience where nothing happened except the they would sing, or
they would play a piano, or they would play an acoustic guitar, while
nothing else happened. What happened to our society that we have become so
demanding. If that is the case, do we really like the artist for their
music, do we really pay to see them perform, or do we like/pay to see how
they can entertain us? I don't know, just a thought
