When someone says, well, 1 guess I will have to face the music. It does not mean he is planning to go to a concert. It is something far less pleasant like being called in by your boss to explain why you did this and did that, and why you did not do this or that. Terrible music indeed, but it has to be faced. At some time or another, every one of us had to face the music, especially as children. We can all remember fathers angry voice, I want to talk to you! and only because we did not obey him. What an unpleasant business it was!
