Rotten Sound System in Theatre
Dear Person,
I wish to congratulate the Student's Association for having the good taste, judgement and foresight for showing "Ladies and Gentlemen—The Rolling Stones" once again.
However I sympathise with all those people who attended the performance in expectation of ½ hours good 'Stones' music. Obviously those people who walked out had the most sense.
It was impossible to hear the music unless one was wearing a hearing aid. I'm sure those who underwent the said torture will agree with me that it was an absolutely soul-destroying experience to see Mick Jagger whispering into the microphone (you couldn't even hear the whispers for the static!)
I hope Studass will learn by its devastating 'mistake' in having such a worthless 'sound system for a classic film. Never to be done again.
Yours Soul destroyed.
