Anonymous to the crazy cat-caller at the Josh Ritter concert Sunday October 21 at the Showbox: Thanks for reminding the classy crowd at Ritter’s show exactly what it means to be a complete attention-sucking psycho fan. Some things we didn’t need to hear:1. Your continual profession of love for Josh (“Josh, I love you!” “I love you, Josh!” “YOU ROCK JOSH!” “I want to have your babies, Josh!” ad nauseum)
2. Proclamations of your deep and meaningful connection to Idaho and potatoes
3. Your off-key, sing-along “contributions” to the quieter songs.It’s a testament to the Ritter’s good humor and obvious grace that he didn’t tell you to shut the %#$@ up, and a reflection of how classy the rest of the audience was that someone didn’t beat the crap out of you. The next time you’re at a concert, remember that you’re not the only one there, and unless your name is on the marquee, no one wants to hear from you.
P.S. to the Showbox: That’s what bouncers are for, guys.
Don't you feel bad now about how you acted at the concert David?
So - everyone stood around hating the person, talked behind their hands and shot evil looks but never said anything to their face?
Ahh, so Seattle.
Uh, if the "bouncer" kicked this patron out, wouldn't people accuse him/her of being "overzealous"? You can't eject someone for being annoying.
@2: Amen to that. I never put up with crap like this from people near me at shows, and I get branded as a curmudgeon and hater for it. Whatever. Go ahead and scream, shout, clap your hands, dance, but if you're drawing more attention to yourself than to the performer on stage, you're a douchebag that desperately needs to be taken down.
If John Kerry has taught us nothing, it's that we love to see an asshole get tasered.
