Walk outs and hecklers at recent BB King shows

[tsull1]

I blame my generation -- Baby Boomer -- and the next one -- Gen X. We have taught our children wrong. I work with kids on a daily basis, most raised by Gen X and younger. Showing respect and reverence are almost unknown traits. I actually teach some of the kids these traits.

My generation and Gen X is the one's that turned kids onto video games, invented video game, bad music, bad writing, the crudeness of American culture. My late father was into jazz [[Miles Davis), good writing, good food, travel, and passed these qualities on to me, but most importantly passed R-E-S-P-E-C-T on to me, and I'm not talkin' about Aretha. Respect of your elders, others, men, women, treating people right, talking without crudeness. If you don't like something, you don't boo. You sit still. You don't leave in the middle of a show.

While I'm also an advocate of retirement for some of these singers and groups, if you choose to go, show some f'n respect -- and I don't care how much you paid for your ticket. Rwandians are looking back this week at a genocide 20 years ago that claimed 800,000 lives ... you can sit through a B.B. King concert you don't like, OK? God, we are a spoiled, awful, narcissistic culture.

I completely agree with this statement.
We are lost.
