Well. I agree that the audience behaved poorly. But surely we can understand why they were incensed. They felt they had been "had," that their money had gone toward the destruction of their own night out. Linda sold her politics after leading her audience toward the expectation of a time of music. That she is unrepentant here shows she does not have respect for the lives and time of the people who patronized her. I am a pianist - or used to be. I still perform sometimes - for neighbors, in church, occasionally elsewhere with friends. So perhaps the issue for me is a bit shaped by my experience here and is not as chiseled in nature as I present it. But I am not convinced it is not. When I enter the stage, I sometimes stand and look out into the audience as it greets me. I am looking for people I know, and family, but sometimes I am looking for strangers who are smiling and who are clearly looking to "hang out" and share some time with me. To rashly insult these people by launching into a promotion of George Bush or to speak against Israel - well - it would be an insult to me, to us in that auditorium - to the purpose behind the little community we have formed there at that time. It would be indecent.
