you are at a show. you wait and wait to hear a favorite song, but the show is now over and said song was never played.(realistically, for me, it is just the most popular songs, because i tend to gravitate towards the obscure, but you get what i mean.)
everyone starts clapping, cheering, begging for the artists to return to the stage. we are delighted when they grace us with their presence for a few more songs. how generous they were to indulge us.
did anybody ever wonder why the most famous songs were withheld until the end? did it never occur to us that encores are actually a part of the set list? they are not indulging us, people, they are finishing their show!
it is even more tiresome when they go offstage and make a second encore appearance. who are we fooling? do we need to go through the production? can we not just grant them a water or restroom break without ceremony?
perhaps not. maybe this is the best way, but i would much rather participate without false pretenses on either side. maybe it's just me. i'm just saying...
