Play, damn you!

I was over on Youtube today looking at music videos and was very taken with a comment from one particular user.

The comment was about a song from a certain group and the user commented that this was their favourite song. Then they went on to say that they were annoyed that when the group toured their area recently they didn't play this song.

They were aggrieved that not enough groups take requests from the audience at concerts.

Call me odd but I thought this request, this expectation is just, well, mad.

I know if I was a member of a famous group and the audience was shouting up stuff at me, you know "play blah blah song" or whatever I think I would be less than impressed.

Unless of course I was playing the 'Dog and Duke' pub in some obscure suburban part of London and charging a fiver in at the door because my career had gone south fifteen years previously.

Anyway.
