Were they in a box marked "Toy not included"?

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

Mu from Fat Freddy's Drop wrote:
I prefer the audiences in Europe to the ones back here, not wanting to dis New Zealanders, but I find that European audiences are a bit more in tune with the music, a little bit more educated as far as our music goes.
 
Europeans are definitely there for the music, to celebrate the music whereas here, half of the audience is there to celebrate the music and half is there to get drunk.
 
 
That's a great way to alienate the people who got you there in the first place. I'm glad I've never really liked their music because now I don't have to feel insulted.

Obviously haven't heard the old saying about not sh*tting on people on the way up because you're going to meet them on the way back down..

Did you mean to say "Can't deny it's true"?

What's true? That NZ audiences are uneducated, or that half of them are drunk?

Whatever, I hope those tickets to Europe are one-way!

Yeah sorry,thats what I meant
 
And yeah I was referring to the statement "half the audience are there to get drunk". Honestly,think about it. It's quite true.
 
They're not attacking you personally,you're obviously in the half that are there to enjoy the music,like me.
 
Uneducated was a pretty condescending thing for them to say though.
 
As i said,not the most well thought out statement,as you're beginning to tour the country that got you started on your way.

Going to the cricket.  Somehow I got talked into going.  Was so boring.  Lol'd when NZ was 4/4 but seriously couldn't wait to get home.  The fact it was $37 didn't help anything when I was led to believe it would cost somewhere in the 20's.
