Naw but yeah man if I had the fame and power of Yuja and Lang Lang I'd want food, drinks, weed (wherever it's legal, but honestly I wouldn't care if people showed up high) at my concerts, no dress code, couches on stage so people could chill and not have to sit super far away next to some old smelly dude who's coughing their intestines out the whole time.

And I'd allow people to use their phones or laptops to record, text, work, homework, check facebook or whatever.

Or it would be cool if they had a gym area in the hall so people could get their workout in while enjoying the music.  Wait on second thought it would probably be super noisy nevermind.  

But I would want a bar and a smoking lounge in the hall that would be tight.

And you could bring your dogs!  As long as they're not loud.

And you can walk in and out whenever you want don't just make a lot of noise.

aaaaaaand after the concerts over or maybe in between movements (idk about that) I wanna hear comments and criticism from the audience so we can talk and get to know each other kinda like a studio class.


Cause I think the most meaningful musical experiences are when the audience is COMPLETELY chill and relaxed like visiting a friend for drinks and hearing him/her play at their house or waking up to your significant others playing or saying hi to someone in a practice room or just being in a studio class

You live in the US, you graduated from university this year, and I know how the US school system works primarily because I'm also a student living in the US. Not exactly rocket science.


Lang Lang isn't fit? Idk man for his age he looks pretty slender.

So?  he answers questions straight forward and Yuja answers them...  the same way.

I'd be obnoxious AF if I had to answer those boring ass questions.

I have a visual defect (a sort of note dyslexia). I have trouble with most scores, but when the score is packed with stuff like these the notes start dancing around on the page making it impossible to follow... after a page or two I will get a headache...

One can look attractive without looking like that blond you know...

But generally those people probably would not be famous if they didn't have a certain amount of visual potential. The other way to get famous is to actually be good (or really bad) at something...

I know how Rihanna looks like but the other two I have no idea...

If one has a face like a horse it helps little to be in shape. A doctors knife is needed (and has been used quite a lot). Many models look very plain without make up but they have good features.

Ok, clearly we have different tastes.

Also Rihanna became famous when she was 15 dude, before that she was just a kid lol. When she was 17 she was pretty banging. I mean I don't see what your point is, I mean yeah make up makes her prettier (goes for any girl) but she is naturally gorgeous. The only negative is her huge forehead.

Maan she's AVERAGE.

If she wasn't famous and she was walking down the street people would be like 'oh she's kinda pretty' and keep walking.  I wouldn't even turn my head after I passed her to check her out.  Okay maybe I might.  Like 40% chance might

I've heard of people washing plastic silverware.  But with paper plates... If maybe only a day (or so) has gone by, and the plate isn't that dirty... you could just use it again.
