I’m at a huge outdoor concert at night. And I mean, gigantic. The main
stage is about 100 yards away, with thousands of people everywhere.
I’m
at a bar to the side of the crowd, getting a drink, chatting with a few people.
Someone convinces me to get on stage; it is ‘open mic’ time. I defer, but only
in a token way. Finish my drink and go backstage....
When I come on stage
lots of people yell although they have no idea who I am. Lots of boos too. The
noise of that many voices stuns me. I raise the mic and say, ‘awww, shut the
hell up' and there is laughter.
