Let's say you've replaced the word "hello" with the word "sheep". This will likely result in a grammatically incorrect novel.
Stoppard made that work somehow

I highly recommend the 15 minute Hamlet if you get the chance.

Awesome comments! And the Whale was indeed let loose.

Although it would be fair to say that that girl could use some beauty tips ...
I clicked through & snorted coffee.

Talking Heads at His Majesty's Theatre. Not loud, no flashy lights. I don't recall any dancing. Utterly mesmerizing.
I still hate them for tearing down His Majesty'sTalking Heads tore the place down? Hell of a gig!
I'll get me coat....

About the only "rowdy" part of the night was a guy standing next to me with a fork (why a fork? I have no idea) as the person in front of fell backwards into him. Very minor injuries resulted
That pitchfork again? Or was that a different thread?

So he never experienced a lunch hour that entire school year without hearing 'Free Bird' for sixty straight minutes.
(I always feel like that story has some grand significance, but I'm not quite sure what it is.)
That's great.
Late 1970s, Nae Nae Olympic Hotel. The jukebox was so close to the back door, you could reach around from outside & without the bar staff noticing, insert 50 cents & queue the one and only non-disco track 3 times in a row - The William Tell Overture!
You could usually hear the staff cursing as giggling, you continued on your way.

Saw that EMF show. Very ordinary but for their one good song ("Unbelievable"). Don't remember too much loudness.
I have always experienced pain at very loud concerts (The B52s had them ringing for days, and they probably weren't too bad compared to others). So it may well have been just me. In the early 80s, I was often barman at varsity "hops" at Vic, I'd wear earplugs & lip read ("beer" and/or "wine" were easy to spot.)
And oh god, I saw the Gordons once... some venue in Ghuznee Street long gone. Yes, they were loud. And incomprehensible to me. Some of my mates (who are much more musically savvy than me) were big fans though.
Oh.... that should have been "I, my wife, my sister, uncle Tom Cobley & all etc..."
