    It’s funny how the onlookers in Everett True are always so happy that he’s beating a stranger. Like you know it’s ok because everyone approves. Reminds me of the Stan Kelly cartoons from the Onion.

    I think Everett wouldn’t like to sit in a modern audience. Hooting and hollering is the default now.

      Yeah did they really just sit passively back then? Maybe a quiet murmur if a particularly outstanding score is made?
