The loud drummer was a bigger problem than her.  Looking back, perhaps 
a lot of her protecting his behavior was because she knew full well 
that if he left, her preference for bar level stage volume would be out 
in the open.

This would be so simple to fix.  In ears for her.

on a related note. A buddy of mine is looking at a new bass rig. Wants 
a pair of single 12 cabs. Easier to transport, he says.  Talking to him 
yesterday he was on about ports and mirror image cabs and stacking 
them. Then he made a comment about, " well, yeah, they would be loud 
and directional, but that's ok as long as they aren't pointed at me ".

Again, that insanity of wanting a loud rig, but not wanting to have to 
take that abuse oneself.  Bizarre.

It's a bar mindset.  You have to generate all the sound from the stage, 
from a backline.  If these people EVER worked a decent stage or venue, 
where they actually can and DO mic things, they'd lose their minds, 
wouldn't they ?

Well, of course. This reaction to lower stage levels and letting the 
FOH do it's job is just what Band Girl seems unable to adjust too.
