    He has long had a reputation for being tempestuous and rude to performers, according to a 2015 Spectator article by the commentator Damian Thompson, who wrote that for all the conductor’s undoubted talent, “one art eludes him: good manners”.

    So he was always an a-hole, but this time, he was affected by alcohol and went too far.

    Punch him back, lesson learned. Bet the old fuck won’t hit someone again afterwards.

        You’re calling my joke about walking the bass incorrectly bad reading comprehension?

        That’s pretty funny right there.

            It’s not really a good joke anyways. I definitely could have done better. Oh well.

              Not a lot of overlap between ensembles with walking bass lines, and ensembles with conductors.

                Not a lot of overlap with jokes and thinking going on in your head is there? Must be like two distant circles.

    Should be “bass singer”, not “bassist”.

    “bassist” is for people who play double bass or bass guitar.
