Cell phones going off at concerts? Annoying. Rotten. Digusting.
Phones igniting in your pocket? Totally frightening.
Maybe I shouldn’t leave my cell phone on all the time after all.

It’s fine with me if people want to applaud between movements of a concerto. It doesn’t bother me — it’s part of performance experience. Sometimes when they applaud if I’m still playing it’s not as good, but there’s always a way around it. Actually the applause gives me a little rest and chance to stretch, too.
