"Apple instructed the audience to 'shut the f--k up' and uttered other expletives, both audibly and under her breath, calling the event’s attendees 'rude.' She continued with her set before shouting, 'Predictable! Predictable fashion, what the f--k?' as she stormed off the stage. The show was punctuated with other bizarre moments, such as when she hit her head with her microphone, did a back bend over her piano bench and stared intensely at her guitarist as if in a love-struck trance."
if it wouldn’t be too much trouble, if you could tweet to the twits who call themselves journalists(example Chris Martins of sit-and-Spin Magazine) that I FINISHED MY SET!!! I did my job, and they should do theirs too–They all miss the fact that there is a difference between the back-of-the-room-chatter that is simply annoying,–and the operatic drunken blather, or the heckling that is really just INTERRUPTING that makes it impossible for us to do our jobs. I hope your readers are already hip to the fact that they are consistently lied to… no apologies. -Fiona.

8. "depends on if it is a concert or an 'event'" In response to Reply # 0
if the latter, I would expect that to be fairly par for the course.
though it sounds like she's taking the 'controversy' with a grain of salt, which is good. Interesting that there's no reference to anyone asking the crowd in its native language to quiet down. Shizuka ni shite kudasaimasen ka, ongaku o kikitai okyakusa ga irashaimasu no de... I'm sure the crowd was international but still.

...is some live-record by the fucking Doors I heard back in the day when Morrison screams at the top of his lungs "SHUT UP!" and starts hushing the audience and insult them because they weren't quiet during some dramatic poetry break in some otherwise rocking song: shit like that is just ridiculous to me if you are singing in a rock-band and a quite confrontational one at that...
If it's some sensitive singer/songwriter on stage, the artist/audience dynamic is obviously different...

Or Dave for that matter. Crowds at shows ain't worth shit anymore. Few people are there for the experience anymore. Especially now that every thing is recorded and uploaded immediately, there's a lot less respect for people on stage, and way too many people thinking they're part of the show..

I saw some drama/slap fight start at an Oingo Boingo Tribute Band Concert for God's sake.
