This statement always gets me. Why would you go to a place where loud music is being played to converse? If you want to have a conversation, you shouldn't go to a place where loud music, especially rock and roll is being played.
Carrying on a conversation while a band is playing is, IMHO, disrespectful to the musicians who have worked, and are working so hard to entertain you. |
Ummmm, wait a second here. Firstly they aren't entertaining ME they are entertaining those who went to see/hear them who are sitting in the music area across the street. Others outside the music area
may or may not be there to enjoy the music. Secondly that is where the restaurants are which is why one would go there.
Starbucks (and other restaurants) are businesses across the street from and out of the "music area" where quite often people like to gather to drink coffee or have dinner and have a relaxed conversation with friends and family as are many other places outside of the entertainment area. So you are saying it is "disrespectful to the musicians" to go to a restaurant like Starbucks to sit outside in the square OUTSIDE the "music area" and have a conversation and you shouldn't go out to eat and sit outside (and often inside) on any ANY nice EVENING between 5 and 9 at any of the squares 7 nights a week just because you don't like loud music while you are trying to digest a meal and you shouldn't talk because you'd insult the musicians. NOW THAT is funny!
