"We went to see Dweezel Zappa "in concert" recently"
I saw that show here a few months back. I always carry earplugs, though. I can't do live music without them as either a performer or a spectator.
I hate to say it, but I also support noise ordinances within reason. I had some horrible neighbors that made me glad they existed. The last time I called them in, I mentioned to the police that I suspected they weren't legal residents. They were gone soon after. They were well aware that they were torturing everyone around them and obviously didn't care.
