(Thanks to Ty and Leo for terrific reports.)I've seen some admirable performers pretty much humiliated before a (partly) drunken audience -- you could almost see them thinking "am I going to walk off and preserve my dignity and forfeit the fee, or...?"Personally, I'd be fascinated to hear the Lord's Prayer in Aramaic, but...
Being a slightly Orthodox Jew, I'm not supposed to attend Christian religious services, and I suspect a reading of the Lord's Prayer would qualify, even at a Richard Lloyd show, so my religion would probably require me to continue drinking, talking, and just generally behaving as though I were at a Richard Lloyd show and not at a religious service, maybe even to walk out.
