concert?

Mr. Manager and I saw David Cross (& other artists) on Friday night at First Ave. Strange verbal musings. The event was definitely worth seeing but hard to swallow. Audience members felt free to shout various opinions and jokes at the performers during the middle of certain commentaries and songs. Whether or not I agreed with the lyrical messages on stage it would have been disrespectful to argue or comment on the show...not to mention disruptive, especially when everyone can hear you. David Cross was extremely poised and gracious even to the obnoxious patrons. He earned enormous respect from me and more than a few other audience members. I was still saddened by the lack of consideration Minneapolis showed to such a talented artist.
