Ouch weblog: individual blog entry

21 Nov 05, 12:00 AM - Rock 'n' roll foot in mouth moment

Posted by Crippled Monkey

Ouch's very own Flash Wilson sent Crippled Monkey this story from the latest edition of the always disgracefully cheeky Popbitch, concerning a notorious heavy metal band:

"Last week, Twisted Sister performed in Brighton. During the show, frontman Dee Snider gives a shout-out to the crowd, saying 'The balcony is where all the REAL sick (VERY rude word edited out by Ouch) are. They can't even stand up by show time. Let's have the house lights up to see them!'

The house lights are raised . . . and the band and audience find themselves looking back at the disabled section of the crowd, full of fans in wheelchairs."

Less "phew, rock 'n' roll!" and more "oops, rock 'n' roll!" then.
