Burger King apologizes for a BF incident

The two orchestra members who've piped up in this thread have both mentioned they have children's concerts because children aren't welcomed or flat-out aren't allowed at their other concerts. Whereas I am objecting to Other People's children. My children would behave beautifully, and so would yours, at a concert... but what about those Other People's children, who will cry before they are hauled out? -- Chookie -- Sydney, Australia (Replace "foulspambegone" with "optushome" to reply) "Jeez; if only those Ancient Greek storytellers had known about the astonishing creature that is the *Usenet hydra*: you cut off one head, and *a stupider one* grows back..." -- MJ, cam.misc |

I object less to the concept of children's concerts -- lighter music, audience participation, and a more relaxed atmosphere -- than I do to the implication that since children's concerts exist, then children don't get to go to the adult concerts. The two orchestra members I count four -- you, me, Mary Ellen, and Jan... who've piped up in this thread have both mentioned they have children's concerts because children aren't welcomed or flat-out aren't allowed at their other concerts. We may be talking at cross-purposes. I said *noisy* children weren't allowed, and that polite children are welcomed -- which which I doubt you would disagree. Similarly, noisy cellphones aren't allowed, and ushers hand out cough drops. Children who can be expected to audibly disrupt a subscription concert should not be attending one, any more than cellphones should be set to an audible ring. The point, after all, is to hear the music. -- C, mama to one year old nursling |
