Chatterboxes

I went to see KT Tunstall live last Thursday. She was unbelievably good. An incredible talent yet retaining the raw element that makes someone addictive. She'll be around for years to come I reckon. Incredible stuff. However. There was a down side to it all. Somehow I'd managed to get myself positioned next to a group of people who apparently found the music too loud for their conversations as they were shouting all the way through the gig. Not at KT in admiration and praise - oh no - to each other in general conversation. I was sincerely unimpressed. Why on earth pay the money to go and see someone in concert only to jabber all the way through the live music? It shows a lack of respect for the artist, as well as being downright rude to the other people standing near you. I could've screamed! I've no problem with people wanting to communicate of course, just be a bit more considerate - if you get right close to someones ear when you speak then they should be able to hear you, no matter how loud the music is. If someone was talking at the cinema all the way through a film that would be unacceptable so why not in a live gig. I could rant on about it for hours - and I know from posting a thread on the KT Tunstall message board that many fans share my sentiments. I'll shut up for now tho. I think someone needs to help me down off my soapbox cos I seem to be stuck here. I do believe my hormones are to blame...oh the joys of being a woman...
