I hate clapping along at concerts. “I don’t think the clapping has yet been brought forward as an issue, and in this time of Olympic-level whingeing and control, I think it’s time we looked at legislation to contain it. Of course, being in a crowd of rhythmless hand-bashers does have its spiritual upside. I now truly understand what the Buddhists mean when they talk about the beauty of the sound of one hand clapping.” – Sydney Morning Herald 09/18/00
