This 'Professional Violinist' Performing On A Southwest Flight Is An Absolute Asshole

Get a load of this guy.

"Imagine getting serenaded at 30,000 feet by a professional violinist." Ok Southwest, I'm imagining it and in my imagination, it seems really fucking annoying, actually.

How does this even come about? Did one of the flight attendants ask if there was an annoying, self-satisfied asshole on board and then this guy pulled his violin case out of the overhead compartment?

Nobody wants this during a flight. I don't want to know the name or anything about the person sitting next to me, much less have this guy pull out a violin and do 30 minutes for people who can't escape. And even if you're really into listening to strangers play the violin while you're crammed into a metal tube in the sky, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess the world's finest violinists aren't flying Southwest. If someone sitting in first class on Delta pulls out an instrument, I might give him a chance.

Also, I don't know if anybody on that plane is aware of any historical examples of people playing string instruments on a large passenger craft, but there's a rather famous example and it's not a good one.
