Mediocre Live Music

‘Just finished the latest Nick Hornby book, Juliet, Naked. Having sat through hundreds, if not thousands of mediocre live bands, I found myself sagely nodding at the following passage.

“The trouble with going to see bands is that there wasn’t much else to do but think, if you weren’t being swept away on a wave of visceral or intellectual excitement… Mediocre loud music penned you into yourself, made you pace up and down your own mind until you were pretty sure you could see how you might end up going out of it.” (167)
