Maybe it's just me but in today's world if an artist gets that pissed about a cell phone then they are not the type of artist I have interest in seeing or being around. I get that phones can be distracting and every thn but kicking people out shows what a cry baby dick you are IMO.
Personally, if people are on their phones, that usually means they aren't talking, so between the lesser of the two evils, I'll take the phone.
that's just it. Everybody knows they are both evils. Remember the days when people would go into a booth to make a phone call? They would shut the door in a tiny cramped space so no one else could hear what they were doing. Today people think that they are entitled to be disruptive. Everyone else go fuck themselves. I need to update my facebook page with a selfie announcing that I'm here at the show not paying attention to the art with my 3 friends that I need to tag in the photo so we all get credit for being here.
I agree with you that there is a huge difference between being an inconsiderate asshole at a Skrilex show and being one at solo pianist performance. At Skrilex everybody's an asshole just for being there. There is no line to be drawn. At a Chick Corea performance if you are the douche that cant pay attention to the art you should leave and go in the lobby so the rest of the audience doesn't need to be distracted by your foolishness.
Just speaking in general not directed at anyone in particular.
