Apathy not an option

By Kristen Utrecht · Sunday, Nov. 12,2000 11:15 p.m.

Despite the late start, the audience in the Egyptian Room of the Murat Theatre in Indianapolis Thursday erupted into a bouncing jubilee when the entertainers began their set.

The treble was piercingly pushed into my ears which were already losing precision due to the damaging decibels.
