BTW - If you read the entire quote (I left out some key words), you will note that the reference to "media attention" was directed not at Tunick, but at the owners of the Four Seasons. Still, Tunick doesn't get off light either....and I suppose if you were a struggling artist you might resent how he's made his living also.

Page down to see reader responses. I actually thought the quote might have been in jest. It almost seemed worded to sound like it came from a classic prude or snob. You decide.... and sorry - I said the quote was from an eye witness. Oops, that was not correct.
Congrats to anyone that mentioned "Tunick" in your reply, and especially to Jots01 who hit the nail on the head.
