Basketball standards in music - dream on
This is a quote from Yahoo Sports: "Bryant, who played all 48 minutes in Thursday night's loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, was 7-for-26." That means that he shot the ball 26 times and made only 7 shots. Great. Next concert I'm going to go for it, be very spectacular and miss 3/4 of my shifts. Or maybe by mistake I'll hit the wrong string in the Dvorak concerto, play the whole thing a 5th lower. Just jump high off the chair 'cause it looks good. I know that the audience will be very patient and wait for that one spectacular passage in double stops that I get sometimes. Cheers if I make it, and sighs of disappointment when I don't. After the concert I'll hold a press conference and reveal that the nail on my middle finger was too long and it was an off night. And the opponent (the conductor) played particularly hard ball that night, so it made it a little harder. I am writing to Congress to propose a law extending basketball standards to all professional league musicians.

Does this mean I can brawl with other musicians during orchestra concerts? I know it's against the rules in basketball, but everyone knows that the best games contain brawls, and it would be sure to increase ticket sales.
Yes, brawls should be allowed, although throwing cellos and basses into the audience might be too expensive. And all all personnel must keep their shirts on at all times.
