Would be nice if all fields of creative media were as accepting of alternate interpretations and a collaborative role of engagement for the audience, as music is.
the only genre I actually dislike in its entirety is polka.
that's not a joke, the actual musical structures that make polka what it is are complete musical anathema to me. I'd actually rather listen to Merzbow and I hate Merzbow.
So on my way to deposit my two paychecks (my sleep schedule is so fucked that I haven't been able to deposit the first one until now, damn banks and their early closing times) I stepped in cow shit, dropped my checks and had to spend like fifteen panicked minutes searching for them, and learned that banks are closed on Columbus Day.
This is a sign from God that I need to set up direct deposit.

imagine going to jail for the rest of your life and someone in jail asks what you did and you have to say "I shot a man over dog poop and I didn't even shoot the right guy"
you joke but I have been on the receiving end of that scenario twice
specifically over mistaken dog poop?
Yes.
You think this is a joke, but I am not joking. People defend their lawns so fucking seriously and other people just let their dogs do whatever wherever, so if you walk by someone's house at the wrong time you get screamed at. It's just how life is.
I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
(e.g. dumping beers on kids wearing Tampa Bay Rays attire during the 2008 World Series, trapping people wearing their opponents' attire in bathrooms until they pee themselves, throwing D batteries at people)
poop/garden stories: we once had a bag of poop, presumably human poop, thrown into our back garden by some neighbours who thought we had told the council about their illegal extension
It's kind of an unfair one. Philadelphian sports fans are, culturally speaking, more critical and emotionally demonstrative than some other places—as in they will boo their own teams if they are playing really badly—but in terms of actual misbehaviour, their reputation is wildly exaggerated.
As for why Philadelphia is great: We are the original capital of the US, ethnically diverse and quite friendly to LGBT folk, and our food is better than a lot of other major cities.

ooh good food :D
I figured the bad fan behavior was exaggerated to a point (and the Santa Claus thing is unfair because, well, that wasn't even the "real" Santa Claus they were booing, it was some drunk guy dressed up as him)
My choir teacher was there for the Santa booing thing. It had nothing to do with the Santa dude and everything to do with how monstrously lousy the rest of the evening was. It's actually a pretty bleakly funny story, but I do not remember enough of it to relate it to you directly.

Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
and take their weapons leaving them dead
