. AUDIENCE Once upon a time not so long ago, you could've heard a pin drop, whenever someone performed in front of an audience. Not anymore. It's like the average audience-IQ has dropped a hundred points. During Country Music concerts, the entire audience sings along with the performer. They don't ask if they can do this. They just do it. Mark Chestnut has found a wonderful way to deal with this: he just stops singing, tells the band to stop playing, then invites the audience to sing the entire damn song by themselves. Which they do, of course, without even realizing what's happening. Retired-type audiences have decided that it's totally OK for them to clap their hands non-stop, during whichever performance they decide to attend. And they're usually clapping way off rhythm, which turns the entire thing into an ugly monstrosity. And then there's the indiscriminate laughers..........Steven Wright was walking around the stage starting one of his really funny tales. WTF IS WRONG WITH THOSE PEOPLE?
