It was a lot like that scene in "Spinal Tap" where the band was performing in front of a an amusement park for kids. The audience at the fair was in the 50-to-dead demographic and even they weren't into the music. The cop (the guy who has the drug problems) sensed that the crowd was virtually comatose and he got kind of annoyed at once point. But eventually the crowd perked up a little towards the end. They needed a little prodding and were probably doing it out of pity, but still. We even did the whole arms-forming-letters YMCA thing at the end. It was also funny in that they didn't have a band to back them up. They were essentially singing karaoki and might have been lip-synching.</p>
