   That's another  reason why I don't particularly enjoy performing solo ;)   
   Bad enough that when it's only you on stage, you're all alone. But as if   
   that's not enough, you make the ideal *target*, literally already singled   
   out by default, for any problem(s) anyone in the audience may have, which   
   means if they've had a bad day, and feel like venting, it won't be at a   
   band, it'll all be aimed at you, the  *only* target of convenience - so one   
   says you talk too much, you can be sure there'll be someone else who has a   
   problem with a performer who just plays and sings without much   
   talking...can't ever seem to please someone who doesn't want to be pleased,   
   particularly if they're simply being obnoxious and looking for trouble,   
   whereas with a band, that's a bit more difficult for those types.
