      somewhat

      Catholics

      dis-
     
     
      erted
      by
      her
      post-performance

      What
      vexes

      the
      fact

      people
      should
      be
      understanding
      if
      not
      appreciative
      of
     
     
      in
      forms
      of
      rebellion
      against
      the
      establishment.
      It
      is
     
     
      ous
      that
      they
      forget
      what
      generation
      they
      were
      part
      of
      while
     
     
      were
      busy
      getting
      rich
      in
      the
      eighties.
      I
      suppose
      that
     
     
      ming
      a
      fortysomething
      and
      losing
      one’s

      aright
     
     
      Pportcensorship
      while
      being
      cynical
      and
      unaccepting
      toa
     
     
      generation.
      Itis
      really
      sad
      that
      these
      people
      have
      lost
      the
     
     
      they
      fought
      so
      hard
      to
      find.
      I
      guess
      bitter
      would
      bea
      key
     
     
      in
      describing
      what
      many
      of
      them
      have
      become.

      you
      think
      I
      am

      too
      hard
      on
      an
      entire

      but
      it
      isn’t
      the
      fact
      that
      she
      was
      driven
      off
      stage
      in
      tears
     
     
      offends
      me,
      it
      is
      the
      fact
      that

      audience
      are
      of
     
     
      ame
      generation
      that
      two
      decades
      ago
      screamed
      ‘‘fuck’’
     
     
      atedly

      This
      may
      not
      compare
      to
      shredding
     
     
      ture
      of
      the
      CEO
      of
      Catholicism,

      it
      was
      unconventional
     
     
      against
