was wondering if you ever saw anything really gross at a show/gig?
For example; at a punk show Filth was playing, someone spit a huge loogey(snot) at the singer and he caught it in his mouth. I can't remember that night due to excessive alcohol but that image has been in my head since the late 80's.

yeah seen quite a lot of sick things over the years but the one i always remember was at the stranglers gig way back. the support act was a guy doing a 1940's show with a straw hat and cane singing the old times songs. as you can imagine the place was full of punks and they started throwing stuff at him and he just threw it back. then they started spitting in the beer glasses and some were even Sir Sydney Shelf Stackering in it. then that was thrown at the guy, but he just carried on with the show. when the stranglers came on the place just went nuts.

Why does California always get such a bad reputation?

About 12 years ago at a Specials Mark 2 Gig in Dublin I managed to fight my way to the front row and got a shake of Mr Roddys hand towards the end of the gig, was basking in the glory when I felt a strange dampness on the back of my legs, turned round to see a 7 foot skinhead in 18 hole Doc Martens having a right good wee down the back of my jeans. Didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What a rotter as Mr Steve Jones would say.
