If you consider this a mugging, I'd hate to see what you think of a really savage review. The guy went to the concert, didn't like it or the genre, and reported that. Perhaps it would have made more sense to send someone who was a little more inclined to like it, but jeez, I personally find that "fiddle and banjo crap" (© Martin Mull) excruciating to listen to, and would have been far less forgiving.
