I'VE GOT THAT FEELING FROM THE OCEAN: Really, you can sue Fishbone because you didn't know there would be stage diving at the concert? Assumption of risk, anyone?
Related, because I'll never have a more justifiable reason to use this clip: Fishbone f/Annette Funicello, "Jamaican Ska" from 1987's Back to the Beach.
That's one hell of a clip, Adam.
ReplyDeleteThink they'd like a mulligan on that one?
ReplyDeleteThere has to be a Drew Bledsoe joke in here somewhere...
ReplyDeleteBoth the patron and the club claim they had no idea there would be stage-diving. If she was just there to see English Beat, and hadn't heard of Fishbone, I can see being surprised by the singer suddenly hurling himself at you. The venue's claim, on the other hand, is BS.
It's actually a cute movie.
ReplyDeleteIt is a very fun movie.
ReplyDeleteI have to say, once they fracture someone's skull and perforate her eardrum, one would hope they would give up stage diving. Jesus.
ReplyDeleteBut does anyone else find it surprising that the injury the Daily News led with was her...broken collarbone? I mean, don't you think you'd put the fractured skull and perforated eardrum front and center when discussing the plaintiff's injuries? Weird.
ReplyDeleteYes, Patricia, I found that bizarre.
ReplyDeleteI was about to say you sue if Fishbone doesn't stage dive, but the band is getting old. It was at a Fishbone concert (1990?) that I took a Doc Martens to the side of the head from a crowd-surfing audience member. Knocked my glasses clean off and as I bent down to pick them up about three people grabbed me and hauled me back -- "Dude, you go down there, you ain't never gettin' back up."
