This is what happens when you mix drugs and that heavy rock and roll. I've heard the mosh pits at the Boston Pops (or BP-Yo! as those crazy kids call it) are wild.

One more reason to keep guns legal. Guns scare the *** out people. If the blabbermouth on the phone saw someone with a 9MM under his shoulder, he probably would had shut the hell up.

In a way this is somewhat funny. You have to admit, you see this kind of activity at a lot of heavy metal, rock and rap concerts but never at the symphony. People could care less about what others think, believe and say. There is no tolerance for anything. Whether in politics or in society in general, we just do not like each other as people.

More and more people act as if they were raised by wolves. A simple lack of manners and civility. Sad.

I hope the folks at the Pops find out a few things about those guys: age? Where they live? radio stations they listen to? do they have ipods?

The BSO needs more folks filling those seats!!

Yeah, a symphony hall is NOT the place to even fidget your feet. I always close my eyes and sit like a statue at a place like that, and last night there was plenty of extraneous noise. I could tell the people that went there often were a little annoyed.

I was appalled at myself because I realized I forgot to shut my cell phone off... so I quietly removed the battery so that it wouldn't make a tone shutting off. Meanwhile, apparently one of the guys in this fight was blabbing the whole time.

There seems to be so much tension these days, it really is sad.

Where's Bill Oriley when you need him?

Yes it seems that the rules of etiquette are getting less and less nowadays. Soon they will be "tailgating" with beer and bbq in the balcony as well. Might as well go to NASCAR.
