He was understandably mad when the reno crowd erupted in deafening applause not at 10,00 days--a song that in six shows this year, i've only seen one other time--but for the idiot that i was praying for adam to kick in the face.

Imagine you created a piece of art, showcasing the purest expression of human emotion you know how to depict, and a dude pisses all over it while a crowd of thousands cheers wildly for that lost soul--oh yeah, and the work of art is about your recently decesased mother.
In retrospect, we're lucky they even came on stage.
With all due respect to JMK, and MJK'S loss, I just don't buy the holy reverence/respect in silence bs that people expect during live performances of Wings/10000 Days. The memory of JMK deserves sanctity. But a tune played over and over for thousands of people for $$$$ (seemingly MJK's paramount concern these days) deserves no more respect than any other.
