Part of the tradition is to watch sagely as hordes of people decamp from the ents, sweating profusely in wild panic, as 'geetar man' strikes up his songs. It's like a competition to see how fast you can get out of there or to see who can endure it manfully for the longest time. Those who do endure are usually so bevvied up they can barely speak.
