We had third row seats and this idiot was playing a Maraca trying to "fit in" with the songs? She didn't seem drunk, but I guess you don't have to be drunk to act stupid.
Arguements ensued (I can usually get along with anyone) and she finally stopped midway through the concert. What a JERK.
That is why I so enjoyed the Nashville audience this past Saturday night. Very classy group.
For those of you who do not know what a maraca is, below is the defintion....
They are simple percussion instruments (idiophones), usually played in pairs, consisting of a dried calabash or gourd shell (cuia "cue-ya") or coconut shell filled with seeds or dried beans. They may also be made of leather, wood, or plastic.

I know what you mean there. I had a similar experiance when Gordon was here in October of '08. There were four people setting behind me, grousing & complaining the whole time about the way the show was going, and the whole time I'm thinking to myself "please! Would you dirty birds just go home & let the rest of us enjoy ourselves?" Well, when intermission was over, it seems my unspoken prayer was answered, as the twerps hadn't come back, and the rest of the evening was FANTASTIC!
