Would he let you go to the watch the knicks city dancers?
Or listen to fill in the blank sing the national anthem?
As I wrote point well taken - one must be cognizant of these issues. Doesn't mean you can't entertain yourself with what IS permitted.
And that is the deeper question... not whether it is permitted or not, but whether it is entertaining or not. Yiras shamayim doesn't mean depriving myself of fun, it means changing my definition of fun. Or better yet, growing up and realizing that the stuff I used to think was fun is actually kind of lame compared to real fun.
Unfortunately we see a lot now days that there is one camp that says, "Have your Judaism
and have your fun, just remember to daven mincha at the 7th inning stretch," and another camp that says, "We don't need no fun! We have Judaism!"
Very few truly strive for the true ideal which is that my Yiddishkeit
is my fun.
