Es una frase que dice un cantante en mitad de un concierto, en las notas de traducción la única aclaración que tengo es:
Maybe sometimes we'll get a PA = the PA is faulty.
¿Alguna idea de lo que puede ser?

a / \"pi:\"eI / PA (system) = public-address system
b / pi:\"eI / (BrE) = personal assistant
c Pa = Pennsylvania
Luego los altavoces actuales parece que no le funcionan bien al artista en cuestión.
