Summary: Screaming Fools

I'm sitting here listening to my cd "This Woman's Live Work" 
on the 'Don't Give Up' track.  Someone please inform me why
people feel it is necessary to participate (i.e. whistling, 
clappinh, yelling)?  It's quite annoying.  I know the track
is an audiuence recording, but you can hear how her powerful 
voice fills the auditorium.  The recorder is surrounded by 
people that make live performances less enjoyable.  Can we 
start an ad campaign like the "No to Drugs" and call it 
"Silence is Golden" or "Shut the Hell Up".

Okay, deep breath, exhale, let it go...  Sometime it just 
doesn't take a whole lot to get angry.
