I think the other monitors are there to prevent people from rushing the stage. Someone might steal Jethro's flute and sell it on E-Bay if the monitors weren't there to tackle him before he stole it.

When I was on tour, we used the old monitors as a fall back option.... Sometimes we couldn't hear, and sometimes we couldn't see the monitors... The worst was when both happened at the same time...

Why do buildings burn up when they burn down?

 

"Burn up" refers to the consumption of fuel. "Burn down" refers to the destruction of the structure.

 

Why do we have to, too and two in the English language?

 

"To" and "two" have different roots (proto-Germanic "tiz" and "twa"). They're different words that happened to evolve to sound the same in modern English.

 

"Too" is a relatively modern branching off "to," which were the same word in Old English. (So when you type "Me to" on the board here, you're technically not wrong. If you're Chaucer. You're not Chaucer, so don't !@#$ing do it.)

Did you come up with that off the top of your head? Talk about esoteric, probably only a very small number of people would know any of that. So among the people around here impressed with your noodle is, me to or maybe me too.

I knew the root of "two," and that "too" and "to" are more recently related. The root of "to," I used my Google-fu.

 

My point, though, was that unlike you peasants, I never "wonder why." I just know.

No you may not, peasant. Go back to the end of the line; other people need abuse before you.
