No, you're right.  In fact I don't see why gigs can't all be seated ones
so that we can relax and enjoy the show.  And they should bring round
ice cream during the interval. They should also throw out anyone who
talks during a gig and spoils everyone else's enjoyment.

I've heard that some folks believe there should be some sort of minimum
dress code. I'm not so sure about that, so long as these people are
acquainted with soap and water, have their hair cut above their ears and
don't make a nuisance of themselves.
