Oh yeah...opera.
When I was growing up, one of my best friends had a really nice concrete basketball court in his back yard. It was big enough to easily accommodate 4 on 4 games. So we would go there to play.
The problem was his dad, who was an opera fan. While we were trying to play, he’s move his stereo speakers on the porch, and read the paper there while the opera music was blasting out the speakers. And I mean LOUD. It was surreal.
Never got a taste for opera.
Oh you poor thing. I can image what it was like for a kid.
