Some of the 4,500 audience members got so mad that they stormed out of the theater and demanded their money back. Others reportedly threw cocktails and defaced Ronstadt's concert posters. Some cheered and applauded. Hotel management responded by booting Ronstadt off the premises...
...beauty of living in the real world—we do not always have to be successful and defeat our enemies. And while we may hope to spend our lives doing good for the world, we shouldn’t demand it from ourselves all the time.
