wow … WTF do you know about his ‘character’ ?
Maybe he wanted to see if his tooth was chipped or something ? He sings very close to the mic so it’s entirely possible.Then he could have just stopped and said "hey, I need to get this looked at". From the way he reacted he looked more pissed off than concerned or worried about his mouth. He just stood there for several seconds, not even holding his mouth, before he knocked the mic stand over. No one acted worried about his physical condition. All the roadies seemed like they were more upset that someone had set J off on a tantrum than concerned about his mouth. I just don’t think someone his age in his position should be acting like that.
Now if Lou had gone and played a Sebadoh song…the whole situation would have been MUCH cooler.
I wish everyone would stop defending J’s behavior at the Lawrence show. I was sitting up on the balcony and I saw everything as it happened.
The guy on the front accidentally bumped into the microphone. I’m surprised that it hadn’t happened sooner considering it was sitting right at the edge of the stage against the crowd. Everyone’s making it sound like he had some sort of malicious intent in bumping into the microphone. After he bumped into it, he tried to move it back where it was but J grabbed it and threw it on the ground. He then threw his guitar on the ground and stormed off the stage to pout.
At this point, Lou proceeded to call the guys on the front "dicks" without even knowing what happened. The crowd began to chant "Dinosaur! Dinosaur!" while some of the rest of us booed J’s behavior. If you’re going to pay close to 30 bucks to see a band, you shouldn’t have to beg them to finish a set. If anything, they sounded better after the accident as it seemed to give the band an added edge that was missing up to that point. J should have been thanking the guy for improving what was in my opinion a dissapointing show.
It seems to me that J’s never really matured. I just feel bad for the rest of the band who signed up for this reunion tour. He might be a musical genius but I wish everyone would stop standing up for his character.
