What does etiquette say about performers demanding audience participation at rock, folk and children’s performances? I understand that this would not happen at the symphony. I escorted two children to a singer-songwriter’s performance, for which we were charged a small fee, and found that the artist was not only asking, but demanding that all of the adults present sing along and do various hand and arm motions at her command. This seemed like a more severe version of what happens at some larger rock venues, when an artist may call out a question, and then demand a louder answer if it is given too softly the first time. At the children’s performance, the problem was exacerbated by the fact that the singer-songwriter made threats to expose anyone who declined to participate. Does etiquette give an artist such total authority over an audience? Is there a way out for anyone who wishes to sit (or stand, as appropriate) in the back, listening quietly, particularly if one is merely there to accompany young children? I didn’t want to force the children to leave, nor did I want to be singled out for attack by the performer, so I obeyed her commands, but I wonder if the goons could provide me with an alternative if something similar should happen in the future. Edit: Excuse me the first part of my post was cut off ScratchAndSniff fucked around with this message at 14:33 on Oct 27, 2015 |

Sounds like maybe you need to lighten up, OP. If the way the artist runs his show bugs you so much don't go back.

It is funny that you should post this thread as I have been meaning to post a similarly themed thread, except in my case I was 17 years old and blackout drunk when two girls from my high school carried me back to their hotel room and took turns on my cock. It was during schoolies week, which is a bit like the Australian version of spring break, so it is essentially the same but with more alcohol. I don't remember any of it and only found out about it 25 years later at our school reunion last weekend. It is irksome, because one of them was attractive, but the other one not so much, so I don't know whether it was rape or not. I mean if the genders were reversed it would definitely be rape, but when she told me I was just like "Really? Did I jizz?"

You knew what you were in for when you went to the show. You were totally asking for it.

Well, basic sex etiquette demands that you immediately stop what you're doing if your partner tells you to stop. So pick a safe word and yell it out the next time this happens. Mine is "aardvark."

When I was a child, I once went to a NY Philharmonic rehearsal and none other than Danny Kaye FORCED me to sing Happy Birthday to Zubin Mehta. Thank you, OP, for giving me the courage to finally tell my story.

somuch_gravy posted:mine is mid two thousand twelve macbook pro mine is a deliberately obscure word that I wrote in the comment section of the "no means no..." question on the okcupid questionnaire. I've long since forgotten it, but leave it there in the secret hope that someday a girl will see it and rape me to death while i try in vain to remember my safe word.
